Title: Tribal Street
Post by SquiggleUK on 10/24/03 at 19:03:50
ok, its not really a street anymore is it   lol.  its more of an area then anything else.  so how about calling it, 'Tribal Estate', or give the area more street names instead.  i know its not a big deal, but every suggestion counts i guess.

Perhaps not? as it would lead to arguements as to which clan was more famous and etc? unless they were agreed upon famous clans..

how about some clans that were #1 for a certain amount of time or just have a poll

To the west is Legions of the Night street, while to the North is The Resistance street. Is it just me or does that sound kinda lame?

I sort of have to agree with Zak here, some of the clan names are sort of out of character for street names...there has to be a better way.

how about just random medieval sounding street names.  err...

i think it was originally called tribal street as clan is another name for tribe, as the housing area is like an estate calling it Tribal Estate might be good, but i dont think the word estate sounds very medievalish.  ermm...

maybe the street names from pre-reset?

i just looked for a few medieval street names on the net and it came up with a list....

Aldworth Crescent :- named after Richard Aldworth, a wealthy citizen who also founded Richard Aldworth school.
Alexandra Road :- associated with royalty, as is George Street.
Baynard Close :- named after George Baynard, a bailiff under the Charter of James I and mayor under Charles I.

Brook Street :- named after the river Lodden that once flowed over it.
Bunnian Place :- takes it's name from Bunny's Bars, an old gate in the area.
Burgess Road :- named after Mayor John Burgess Soper.
Chapel Street :- the approach road to the Holy Ghost Chapel.
Cranbourne Lane :- means Heron Brook.
Essex Road :- the road builder, Mr. Tyrrell grew up in Essex and named this after the area, also applies to Raleigh Road and Rochford road.  

Flaxfield Road :- a very old name, first mentioned in 1300.

Maybe Street Numbers, Like Tribal Street 1? And when you create a clan house it tells you which number it is.
Title: Re: Tribal Street
Post by SquiggleUK on 10/25/03 at 00:50:49
nahhh, street numbers is boring

but i do think there should be  just different streets.  it doesnt make sense to have one street which looks like this....


        X  
X XXX X XXX X
X       X        X
X XXX X XXX X
X       X        X
X XXX X XXX X
        X
 

fair enough tinder street looks like this....


X XXX X XXX X
X                 X
X                 X
X                 X
X XXX X XXX X


but thats a small road going in a circle consisting of 31 squares.  Tribal street has LOADS of squares, as much as i wouldnt like to count.



(you will not believe how long it took me to get those X's right  lmao)

its been suggested in the past how about when u go to a sqare that starts of trible street u press a button and it tp u to ur clan sqare... and also set it so the chiarman/founders can decide what sqare it tp u to so its not nessacrly the first sqare  that u go to....

Like the idea of street names. & maybe you could add just 1 more thing to this, when someone builds a new clan house, tell em what street its going to be on, I remember having a heck of a time finding my clan house the first time lol

Post by SquiggleUK on 10/25/03 at 11:15:51
