Best random gen'ed Fort name
« on: December 18, 2010, 10:49:08 pm »

Exactly what it says on the tin.

What was your favorite random gen'ed fort name? Created names don't count. Mine was StoneRape (Which is pretty much what dwarves do. (metaphioricly) Rape stone.)

Also known as the Knowlagable, the Forgetful, and/or the Ignored

Please excuse my horrible awful linguistic skills.

Letterbird.

Only because the embark area had a spot sunken into the hillside that resembled a bird.

I would have set up my base there but the nature of the area's aquifer prevented that. Shame.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

So dig out the bird shape and collapse that into the aquifer? Then you can have bird lake.

Fav random name would be the "Fed Butterfly" Was an artifact not a fort, but still funny

I don't check mine much, but I would have to say my favorite was Ringmerchants from 40d. We traded a lot of rings.

Catcastle

Ironically I only ever let 1 cat live. Or maybe not ironic, depending on how you interpret it.

My fortress is named Starswords (which is kind of awesome).  One of my dwarves at this fortress created an artifact adamantine battle axe named Ballswallowed (which is not awesome), which depicts one of my current civ's former queens to queenhood (which is kind of awesome, given the name).

Q: What do you get when you take 100 clear glass windows, 1000 silver bars, 6700 gold bars, and 18,000 marble blocks?

A: A very large wall.

"Alright, here's Helltooth... Harborfence... Urist, come get GenericBlade... and you. Welcome to the Danger Room. First timers get good ol' Ballswallowed. Have fun and try not to take off your own toe."

Ballswallowed is an AWESOME name. Better if it were a war hammer though.

Fightshocked, founded by The Infallible League. This wasn't intended to be a keeper fort, but I don't think I have a choice anymore.

Burning and raping the land is recreational. Where business is concerned, though, sustainability is the name of the game.

Windslap. I feel obligated to power all my stuff with a buncha windmills (not like I could use the alternative of watermills without a lot more tweaking anyway...), and build a gigantic tower with a catapulting execution device. Plus, heh, there's wind. ;D
