Rules

3. Each player may submit up to three (3) entries, each on its own form.
4. The name MUST meet NS forum PG13 criteria.
5. The name MUST be name-length and not a paragraph. Please bear in mind that the thread will also have the designator P2TM Chat Thread as a pre-title.

Submission form
ONE form for each name suggestion; players allowed to make up to three suggestions.

Genius Loci

Suggested Name: Genius Loci
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Western usage of the meaning, I thought it was fitting.

Western usage: In contemporary usage, genius loci usually refers to a location's distinctive atmosphere, or a "spirit of place", rather than necessarily a guardian spirit. An example of contemporary usage might be along the lines of "Light reveals the genius loci of a place."

The Restaurant at The End of the Multiverse

Suggested Name: The Restaurant at The End of the Multiverse
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: One does not simply examine the nature of the P2TM community. In all honesty, P2TM has so many crazy people and random things to talk about that I felt the reference to Douglas Adams fit nicely.

Sitting Room

Suggested Name: Lord-General Professoriat Moriarty von Archduke-BigBad IX's Sitting Room
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Because P2TM as a whole has an obscene fascination with appropriately whimsical and convoluted titles.

Genius Loci - 7 (10%)
The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse - 49 (72%)
Sitting Room - 12 (18%)
Total votes : 68

The winner is Corvus Metallum's "The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse".

Suggested Name: Ye Olde Portal to The Khan's Pub
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Well, who doesn't like pubs, Khan, and Old-English words? Nah, but I hear enough about Khan, and figure this place will be enough like the cafe to have a similar theme. Hence, took this to be more of a pub setting being what I would assume more informal, but still as dedicated to its objective as the Cafe, so thus it would be a pub. Sure there'd be the regulars like any good joint and it'd have it's despised and feared patrons alongside those whom no one could give a flaming frack about. Needless to say, it'd be a community in and of itself, which is something that has been built up over the time we've had the Cafe to our name... So thus I give you: Ye Olde Portal to the Khan's Pub!

[Alleniana]

Suggested Name: That Other Cafe
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Because there's the Traveller's Cafe, which is a terrible place with bad tea and lots of elitists and a terrible fire evacuation plan, so people founded a rival establishment. Ignore the fact that both Cafes are owned by the same people. You should do as much at them as you can, to spite the other. *nod*

I personally suspect we'll have so many shit names that none get chosen.

Suggested Name: Cool Guy McGillicudy's Corner Of Interdimensional Beings All Meeting By Sheer Coincidence To Share Fun And Awesome tales
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Just thought of the random nature of things in P2TM, you can find basically anything here, so I suppose a title that fit that idea should be fitting!

GUYS... we have a character space limit in the Subject Heading. Try to keep it short, please.

Does mine fit the bill?

I'd have to slap it into heading to see if it would once we added [Official] to it. It might be too long.

[The BranRiech]

Sorry, I won't even bother anymore.

[Tiltjuice]

Suggested Name: The Open-Minded, The Creative, & the Insane
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: 1. I checked - "[chat official P2TM]" fits in the subject line. 2. Tried to stay away from location-ish titles since we were split from F7 in the first place. 3. Tried to give it a title more like TET, and hey, at least one of those classifiers applies to everyone here.

[Morlodania]

Suggested Name: Crossroads of the Multiverse
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: The entire PT2M is one giant crossroads of genres and characters, of players from around the world, of every background and lifestyle. It is where everything comes and meets, a true center to the multiverse. It is that crossroads to which we all come to create great worlds, to evolve incredible characters and stories, to lean back and have fun, to make friends, to live, to love, to die, all in the context of worlds and characters we could never enter in our real lives.

Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Because it's an awful enough name to capture our essence.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Suggested Name: The Raided Rotunda
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Rotunda: round building with a dome roof. Typically a place where people argue a lot, like in a chat thread.
Raid: a sudden attack, often to acquire loot and booty. Example: When no one was looking, mentors of the P2tM raided the rotunda of The Eternal Thread.

[Swith Witherward]

Suggested Name: Mish Mash (aka WSOGMM)
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: Hitchhiker's-related.

The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash (WSOGMM) is mentioned in Mostly Harmless. The Guide describes the WSOGMM as a way of understanding the sum of parallel universes in creation (in this context, creation is best described to a casual observer as spacetime). The theory of WSOGMM states that parallel universes are not parallel as such but rather each universe is simply a quantum physical perception of the same construct, which is the WSOGMM.

The last version of the Guide gives a description of the Mish Mash to Arthur Dent's daughter Random. The guide explains that individuals in her universe move freely in the first three dimensions, which they know as space, travel in a straight line in a fourth (Time) and are rooted to one place in a fifth, which is described as the first fundamental of probability.

The fifth dimension (and, it is implied, every other dimension up to the twenty-second) is actually an axis of probability that makes up the Mish Mash. Any multiverse in creation is actually a location in the fifth dimension. To an observer, a certain universe functions alone, but it's proven that if something is introduced simultaneously into every dimension (such as the bird version of The Guide was as a marketing ploy), an action on that object can affect the entire Mish Mash. In the final chapter of the novel Mostly Harmless, when Earth is destroyed by the Vogons and the bird dies with it, the Earth is destroyed in all other universes—finally removed from the WSOGMM.

[Cylarn]

Suggested Name: The Café Counter.
Why do you feel this name reflects the P2TM community?: When you enter a café, the first place you go is the counter. At many places, that counter serves as both the location of where you order your food, eat, and converse with other patrons and employees. Since the creation of the Travellers' Café, it has been the unofficial chat thread for the P2TM community. Out of respect for this unofficial capacity of the Café, this RP has been so named.

I would suggest you to delete that. It works, I've witnessed it. No need to keep it around.
