Naming Hamlets and Towns

[Lord_Stark_05]

I know that unnamed hamlets and villages are easier for warping across the map, but are there any ways to name hamlets and villages across the map. Instead of for example /warp sfhamlet1, it could be /warp chestnutbend. This is another random idea from me.

 

[SeapunkPeaches]

We used to so that, but abbreviations and whatnot are much better for organization

 

[Lord_Stark_05]

I understand that completely. In the building process, organization is key. But when the server is ready for RPGing, then would names be important?

i name my hamlets and such, i jsut have them on a lit on my pc

 

[JohanKR850]

Maybe settlements could have (if project leads wants it) the names like /warp sfhamlet1 but also have a prober name like /warp chestnutbend. The second name would maybe first be added after the settlement is completed?

 

[AerioOndos]

Or before the project is finished, after all the building is done. Though I feel like a lot of places might end up with long-ish names like Stratford-upon-Avon or Inn by the Crossroads

As someone who is documenting the progress of our server, it has been hard to know what hamlet belongs where without the sf1 organization. When someone gives random names it can occasionally be impossible to tell which house it belongs too.

 

[AerioOndos]

The representation of such names would only appear once building is complete so there can be more in depth land acquisition. because how edifying would it be to successfully gain lhthf2 through a potentially dangerous bit of intrigue

I could try to create a google docs on the naming of the settlements, but I am finding it hard to share my docs to the forums. Could someone explain to me what to do?

When you've got the google doc open on the top right you should see a Share button > Get Shareable Link > copy that link into your forum post.

We're considering updating the dynmap with separate layers for towns, castles, ruins and points of interest. We thought hamlets/holdfasts might not be the best idea to include in that list because they would be so many, and most wouldn't have proper names

 

[Enah]

I really like making my own names for places, but not every place really needs a name, some places didn't get names for centuries

 

[AerioOndos]

For example, Weeping Town became known as such after the Young Dragon's corpse was brought there from Dorne on the way to the Crownlands. It isn't mentioned if the town had a name before that

Just build giant signs with the town's name on it outside the entrance.

Nice one. May I suggest a Buttscratchistan?

 

[Enah]

No, because that doesn’t fit into the naming process of westeros
