Following is a list of names proposed in This Thread for the soon-to-be Dwarf Fortress stories wiki; a place to organize all of those famous (and infamous) stories that lurk about this forum, and perhaps other relevant things. So, on to the rules:

1. Each person gets 3 votes (you don't have to use them all).
2. Each vote must be for a different name.
3. First vote counts 3 points towards a name, second vote counts 2, and third vote counts 1 point. I will assume that your votes are in order according to your preference.
4. Voting is open until Saturday next week.
5. Please at least skim all of the names before voting.
6. Once the first rounds votes is finished the top voted names (most likely top ten) will be voted upon to get the final title.

With those in mind, here are the suggested names:

I'll vote for "Chronicles of Failure", "Story Stockpile", and "Jreengus Occured".

Personally, I'd really vote for DF's opening screen -
"Dwarf Fortress - Histories of <random> and <random>.", but I suspect it's beyond the wiki's abilities to call random words.

[Rictus]

Jreengus Occurred
Urist Storyteller
The Tale Stockpile

That was a tough decision, narrowing it down to three. I was gutted that I couldn't get the Captain Ironblood one, but I think the three I picked will have more mileage.

[Armok]

The Tale Stockpile
Jreengus Occurred

[Bullion]

1. Jreengus Occurred

2. Dr Beardlove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Elephant

3. Tall Tales

[Surma]

1. Dr Beardlove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Elephant
2. Duradmelbil Gomath Nazush
3. Chronicles of failure

Strange, I didn't vote on my own  :p

Actually, when one is decided upon that should be the name of the site (or a shortening of it), and the titles could be chosen randomly. Like the quotes box in the DF wiki.

[AlmostEverywhere]

1) The tale stockpile
2) The Mead Hall
3) Tales of dwarves

Random stuff is cool, except it'd be nice to have something we can refer to.  Maybe a sub-title that's randomized?

[Officer Tom]

1. Tales of Dwarves.

2. Story Stockpile.

3. Dwarven Tales.

[Nite/m4re]

Urist Storyteller's Dwarven Tales
Jreengus Occurred

[ May 25, 2008: Message edited by: Nite/m4re ]

[Jreengus]

Jreengus Occured!!!

[Glaughdram]

The Fortress Tome
Dwarven Lore
Jreengus Occurred

[PTTG??]

First- BeardedTomes the Legends of Blood
Second- Tales of the Mountainhomes
Third- Jreengus Occurred

I admire your attempt at "Improved Democracy".

[Bricktop]

I vote for Jreengus Occurred

[Capntastic]

I use my votes to vote against Jreengus Occured.

[Dasleah]

...I can't believe people took my 'Dr Beardlove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Elephant' suggestions seriously   :p
