Subject: More Timeline Stuff, Hopefully Less Controversial
Ok, here's a question I raise for those on the list who dwell at
latitudes
with the letter S after them:
I am still working on my own timeline/gameverse. Since youth, I have
been a
great admirer, perhaps even a bit of a nut, about things Australian, and
to
a lesser extent, things Kiwi. I plan on having several worlds populated
by
colonists from those two nations, probably colonists who fit the
American
stereotype of Australians, or at least the one I grew up with - tough,
resourceful people with a strong independent streak.
My question is, can I get some suggestions for good names for such
worlds?
Perhaps the names of early explorers or white discoverers of those
countries, or original aborigine/maori names for those lands, or things
of
that nature. I figure, if in my storyline the planets are named by
Aussies
and Kiwis, why not have them named thusly in real life?
I am sure I'll get SOME response about this, I've also noticed that
those
two cultures are not shy about expressing their opinions. (a good
quality
IMO) Thanks in advance.
Brian B
