Naming landmarks? - charks - 08-01-2017
Hey-o!
I was looking at our map and I noticed some rivers and beaches and whatever else have you - can we give these landmarks names? They don't need their own boards, just a note on the board they're in - like in Ultima, "Bordered to the West by the Whispering River", or for Akvo City, "The shore to the North is called Minnow's Beach, and at its southern end one can find the hidden entrance to Dead Man's Cove"
Stuff like that. Named landmarks to make a board a little more dynamic and consistent, that everyone would know to identify, without the need for any more boards.

Oooh this is a great idea!
I'm happy to hear some suggestions, too! Whoever comes up with them could like, either be Riftians telling names to Helovians ICly? Or Helovians giving some IC names from RP encounters?

Suggestion:
We have a Guidebook page or w/e with "Landmarks", and there can always be made new user-submitted landmarks!
Just like you choose a prefix you get to choose "Location" for the thread: either the parent forum, or one of the landmarks.
Whichever location you choose is displayed on the thread and in the threadlog.

ooh! That way I could list Tamlin's little patch of Helovian flora :D

Oooh I really love this idea!
RE: Naming landmarks? - charks - 08-15-2017
Neo that's a cool plan, I like the idea of people being able to submit landmarks as they're "discovered"!

Okay! :D
