Title: Name a City Competition
Post by: Felix on August 06, 2012, 02:54:28 am
Hello everyone.

I've been working tirelessly on developing a city near to the [/Warp SouthWest] that has an Egyptian Theme to it.

So far it has:
and

Click Here (http://img607.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img607/9516/1344219016x0x.smil) for an image slideshow (OUTSIDE LINK)

Now.... The problem is that I'm soooo busy creating things to go inside the city that I've just run out of space in my tiny head to think of a name for the place.... This is where hopefully you can come in...

Have a look at the pictures, or even come and visit [/home Felix_De_Kat], Remember the Egyptian Theme and see if you can come up with a suitable name for the place...

Once all Entries are in, a decision will be made and the person who comes up with the name will receive $5,000 (in-game currency)

(Edit: Competition Ends This Friday 12 August 2012 (unless I cant decide and then I'll put up a vote))

By the way, if you're wondering what Texture Pack I use, It's a slightly modified Ornate Pack link here (http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/64x-ornate-5-revived/)

How about just something simple, like "Swahili"  ;D Even though it's a language, it sounds like a great city name.

Sepherous. It has a dry sound to it, like the biome it's in!

Unfortunately due to the lack of entries I have decided to extend the competition close date to the following Friday (17th August 2012) or until it has reached at least 15 entries.

Sorry to those who have already submitted their entries, but I'm sure you'll understand why.

I am also increasing the prize to $7,500 (in-game currency) for the inconvenience.

Competition Entries are now closed

Thank you to all the people that made an entry, shame I couldn't entice more members to participate, but oh well..

Any way..

I was going to make a poll to see which one others preferred, but I'll just come to a decision now....

The 3 that I liked the most were (in order):

Congratulations FNV - Next time I log in, I'll send you your prize (what was it?? an Iron ingot?? (joking :p )) $7,500 Coming your way :)

I Came to this decision by the dual use of the word "Arenae" - One way explained by FNV meaning "Sand" and the other that it has an Arena(e) built on the site (although it's pstones haven't been sorted out yet)

Jimbot2000 & piplupdude - As your entries were runners up, I will send both $1,250 next time I log in

Thanks again to everyone who participated!!

Flame, just sell stuff at the market and to other players.  Once I made 100k by selling an island before, and I got 5k from selling ores at the market.
