Stupid fortress names
« on: April 24, 2011, 11:47:19 pm »
sorry if I'm doubling a thread already existing, I had to share.

What's the biggest facepalm you've had when you found out what your little enterprising settlers named their new home?

my current winner: Lovesacks.

love sacks! bayyyybe love sacks!

It was founded in the cone of the Useless Volcano, because I just felt so bad for the poor volcano. All the other volcanoes making fun of it ....

Yeah, this is why I always set the name myself. Then this problem goes away.

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

That... that makes me feel funny.

And I don't really know why.

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

The worst names are the ones that are boringly random, like Circledclasps or Butterdyes or Claspedrings or Claspedclasps.

I like Swallowedgilt... though it is a stupid name.  It's doing fairly well, at the very least.

My current, and most awesome fortress to date is named Bodicespots. :(

My worst fortress but most awesomely named one was called Crazedmetals.


I only use the RNG, I don't custom name anything.

Generally I use the RNG but randomize until I get something I like. I got 'Murdereddeath' as a terrifying-biome fortress at one point, although I embarked on top of zombie elk and died almost immediately.

Not a fortress, but my civilization was once named 'The Handles of Love'.
