Winners announced on page 2

Hello simmers! Now that my work on Via Discovolo is coming to a close, I've begun a new world! It is a planet in a galaxy far from Earth, populated by an advanced alien species. However, this species hold on the planet has been threatened after another species' ship crashed into the planet. Furthermore, humans have recently sent a shuttle to the planet and set up a camp. However, neither the first species' city, the alien species' nor the planet have a name! My task to you is to name these things. Please read the descriptions of each before offering names. If I decide to use your name, I will give you a gift of up to 50 simpoints. The world is only in its primary stages, but here are some photos:

The crash site of the space ship of the second alien species.

Things for you to name. Pick as few or as many to enter names for as you want, and enter as many times as you want. If I choose your name, you will get a 50 simpoint gift for it. You can win multiple times if you come up with great names, and will get rewarded multiple times. Good luck! :D

-The planet, a planet covered with ice and rock.

-The alien species native to the planet. They are pale blue and live in a bustling metropolis on the planet.

-The bustling metropolis mentioned above, to be located in the area shown in the final picture above.

-The alien species whose ship crashed into the planet. They were forced to flee from a planet near a sun that was about to explode. They are heat loving beings, and have been forced to adapt to the cold new climate.

Just so you know, it is a possibility that I won't pick anyone's name. However, I'm hoping that I will find some great names through this.

    Goodness, this looks like an intricate project.

    I'll have to give some thought to names, just for the fun of it :)

    This might sound lame, but how about Halo. As in from the halo franchise where humans crash on this planet and they have to fight the aliens on it? Just my 2 cents worth.

    Some great names coming in so far! Drowssap, actually, I just used autopaint for the terrain painting. It produced a good effect and saved quite a bit of time. :P

    Planet name: MazaBopp
    Maza what? Meaningless, but stands out. Important in a forum crammed with worlds!

    Native aliens: The M'Bopp
    These blue guys are funky, they like to party and chill out. Maybe technophobes, and not happy about thye arrival of the Hakk.

    Stranded aliens: The Hakk
    I don't know why, but I think they should all have evil traits and be thorough baddies :twisted: So they need a baddie name. Computer wizzes, the lot of them, and keen to steel your e-cash!

    The humans: Perhaps family names from major spacefairing nations, an American one, Russian, Chinese. Be interesting to see which nationalities survive your brave new world.

    Okay, guess I've lost it. LOL, I wrote a whole story for your world. If nothing else, I hope you find it entertaining.

    Sim Story:

    When the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokul, erupted in the year 3410, there were actually large chunks of the earth's inner core that made their way into space. Floating through space for eons, they were finally transformed into what an earthling would consider an inhospitable land mass. Who could have possibly known
    that brewing during the terraforming of ice and rock was a new species, the Seismicatrons, occupants of Seismicatron.

    Of course, it was an earthling who bestowed the name upon them. The forces of nature pushed this new world close to the earth, almost as though the land wished to
    return to the planet from which it came. Probes were launched by humans to obtain Seismicatron data. When the results indicated the world had actually spawned life, a team was formed to travel there for research. It had been many years since space travel had been attempted because humans had come to the conclusion they were the only living species. Indeed, there was only one operable shuttle located in Via Discovolo.

    How wrong they had been and this had to be studied. Travel to Seismicatron would take place, with some of the most brilliant minds on Earth forming the investigative body. What the crew and passengers of the Buona Fortuna shuttle didn't know is that they would encounter not just one new species but two. They were going to need that buona fortuna, *good luck*, to establish relations with two alien species. For you
    see, following the destruction of their homeworld, a heat loving race found themselves stranded in the frigid climate of Seismicatron. The Hiti Elskhugi, heat
    lovers, as they came to be known, were struggling to survive and adapt to such a cold climate.

    The human scientists hope to bring all factions together in Eldgos, home city of the Seismicatrons. Ironically, Eldgos translates to mean volcanic eruption in the
    Icelandic language. My, how things come full circle.

    How will the three species get along? Only time will tell.

    Edit to add don't know why some weird space returns on post. Don't see them in what I typed, lol.

    Ulveridoren it is an English phrase somewhat translated from Norwegian (not that I speak Norwegian) and condensed into one word.

    The phrase being "Wolves at the door"

    I kind of favored Ulvidoren better, but I think that gets the translation even more off than it already is.

    Great world, I like the name Icemark, based on the lords of midnight game back in the 80s.
