Base name collection/creation project

[ete]

Okay, done. All updated except for the last post on page 1, which I was not certain which faction to give it to (Consciousness probably, but it has a very different style from the rest of their basenames) and JarlWolf's Free Drones basenames, since they are used by a custom faction and maybe it's best to avoid doing that, people may have games with drones+CC.

Factions with the fewest basenames:
CyCon has only ones I'm not sure about adding, due to different styles.
Marr and Mirriam have very few
Cult has not that many, and if you exclude the ones like ILO, IWW, AFL-CIO which are probably not good ideas since most people won't understand, the free drones could do with some more.
Caretakers and the UN could do with a few more

Plus, names with too many characters (>24) need to be trimmed out. Feel free to check/contribute at http://sync.in/Basenames

Yeah I made those Drone names before I realized my factions, so discard them.

Voice's Wrath
Cleansing Flame
Manifold Destiny
End of Cycle

I definitely seem to have had the Consciousness in mind at the bottom of page one - though some of them might fit the Angels, if you feel that strongly that they don't work for the cyborgs.

I don't know that there's any reason to exclude names on the assumption people won't get the reference - they're still perfectly good names, as long as they're 24 characters or less and don't contradict the nature of the faction.  "IWW" is still a better name than Drones 54, y'know?  And we're playing to a very sharp group...

I'll see what I can do this week about cycling through the list you've provided.

Every Spore is Sacred is brilliant. That's going in.

And I guess so, but there are a ton of drones basenames which to most people (myself included) look like a short series of random capital letters, which is arguably worse than the Iota Sector etc defaults (the defaults now should effectively never run out, so you'll never hit the <faction> <number> bases).

Also, Pirates need sorting into sea and land bases.

[Buster's Uncle]

I see your point - but gosh, the pioneering unions are SO thematically perfect for the Drones...  And few are short enough w/o the abbreviations.

[ete]

If they're somewhat well known and short enough unabbreviated, then I'm cool with them.

DAD:
There are Drones in the world.
There are Believers.
There are Hive and Morganites, and then
There are those that follow Zakharov, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Planet Cultist,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Planet Cult is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Cultist the moment Planet came,

Because

Every spore is sacred.
Every spore is great.
If a spore is wasted,
Planet gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every spore is sacred.
Every spore is great.
If a spore is wasted,
Planet gets quite irate.

GIRL:
Let the polluters spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
Planet shall make them pay for
Each spore that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every spore is wanted.
Every spore is good.
Every spore is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hive, University, Morganites,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But Planet loves those who treat their
Spores with more care.

MEN:
Every Spore is sacred.
Every Spore is great.
WOMEN:
If a spore is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...Planet get quite irate.

CHA DAWN:
Every Spore is sacred.
BETROTHED CULTISTS:
Every spore is good.
NANNIES:
Every Spore is needed...
CULTISTS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every Spore is useful.
Every spore is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
Planet needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

BROOD WORMS:
Let the Polluters spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
Planet shall strike them down for
Each spore that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every spore is sacred.
Every spore is good.
Every spore is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every spore is sacred.
Every spore is great.
If a spore is wasted,
Planet gets quite iraaaaaate!

I had a look at the Consciousness base names, and now I see the style problem - they don't have a freakin' style.  It's all Zeta Rhombus or Zeta Meadows (they skipped zeta).  That's not a style - it's nothing to do with the nature of the faction, and THAT'S the kind of reason nobody much likes the Crossfire factions.  However, in the same lame non-style, try this:

Alef Station
Bet Home
Gimel Base
Dalet Nexus
He Algorithm
Vav Junction
Zayin Parallelogram
Het Coordinate
Tet Geometry
Yod Proof
Kaf Equation
Lamed Point
Mem Theorem
Nun Area
Samekh Volume
Ayin Calculus
Pe Plot
Tsadi Axiom
Qof Sphere
Resh Topology
Shin Hedron
Tav Area

Samekh Shore
Ayin Deeps
Pe Waves
Tsadi Navigation
Qof Admirality
Resh Thermocline
Shin Aquatic
Tav Dive Base

[JarlWolf]

Nun Area

That sounds dangerously like a believer name.

[Buster's Uncle]

Switch it with Mem - these names are meaningless.

[JarlWolf]

Aki Zeta's faction can easily have a theme: cybernetic themes and AI, and logic.

Enhanced Algorithms
Logical Process
Nonlinear Mathematics
Computational Thought
Rationalization
Precision Point
Calculus Imperatus
Cranial Augmentation
Mind Machine Interface
Scientific Method
Organized Approach
Rational Statement
Nervous System
Left Brain Capacity
Efficient Operation
Mathematical Medium
Synthesized City

[Buster's Uncle]

Correction: SHOULD have a theme.
