Y?

Post by Stroganoff »

Why are these boards called pubs? Why not something else? I did like the ring of fire section. But Markland has a pub and we should be different from them(unless of coarse they are copying us) How about something Roman in nature such as "The Senate Floor" or maybe "The Constortium"

and we need a spell check

otherwise i like the new site

Roman = Curia (senate house) or Senate, the Comitia (meeting) Curiata, Curia Hostilia (The Senate building), Rostra (Speakers platform), Forum, Comitium (area where the speaker would adress the attendees), suggestus (Top stone of the Comitium) templum (meeting building)

Greek = The Pnyx(was the official meeting place of the Athenian democratic assembly), ekklesia (democratic assembly) Assembly, Council, templum, auguria (meeting, with/plus the gods)

Irish celtic = the Craic (good conversation amongst equals), the Blarney (good story telling, full of laughter and music)

I need to find my book on ancient celts, I don't recall if there were any direct names, as it was more a tribal structure passed on equality and job. There was some form of nobility, so I have to believe there is some structure we can gleen names from.
