Let's find a new name for the RA; RA Proposal

When VB proposed the idea of the RA, part of his proposal was that we find a better name for this great arm of TE Regional Government. One region he mentioned as an example calls their RA "The Council of The Immortals", Lazarus I think.

I agree with VB and I would like to propose that we open the RA floor to suggestions for a new name for the TE Regional Assembly.

We are a creative bunch here in TE and I know we can come up with a better name for the RA. So please post your ideas here... :dance: thumbsup :egyptian:

Exiles from where? It kinda implies that we all were kicked out of or escaped from somewhere .. is this really the right image for the people's voice in TE Government?

Well this region is called The Exodus and was founded by Joshua after he was kicked out of Ille de France as a peaceful refuge. Suffice to say my proposal sounds like the regional image we have been projecting since the beginning.

Funny how much more civil that sounds with a few minor word changes. :)

But yeah, it has a certain historical context for the region. As ds mentioned, Lazarus' current version (we're discussing changing it, but that's not really relevant here) is called the Assembly of Immortals since we cultivate a sort of "undead" theme there.

See, here it would be helpful if we truly had some sort of regional identity/purpose, then we could tie the name into that. Which is sort of what Wilke and AA are doing with the Chamber of Exiles, tying it into our history.

I do like the name, but I'm just not sure it's right for where we want to go. History is great and all (or so I have to believe or my degree is totally worthless), but I think we would be better served by a name that looks to our present or future. Or is something kinda random like Tac's The Big Thing.

VB you make some good points.

What about The Round Table? Or The Great Cog? Or The Council of Elders?

Or The Council of Elders?

I'd say no to that, if only because it creates the perception that this body is only for older, more experienced nations. And the purpose behind making the RA as open as it is was to get newer nations involved in TE.

Fair enough, perhaps The Assembly of Exiles or The Council of Exiles?

Actually, I liked Regional Assembly, but as it seems that popular opinion is for change, then:

I'm staunchly opposed to anything including the term "Exiles." That term not only has an apparent negative connotation, but it is also inaccurate. Exiles are separate from a government; I look around and see a strong, healthy government right here. This discussion wouldn't be possible without that government. Sure, the original members of the Exodus were exiles, but I'm proud to say that those members founded and supported a region that has grown into its own sovereign and respectable entity. Fellow representatives, we are not exiles; we exist as strong, unified nations in our own right!

i had that initial reaction myself (but i couldn't have written my feelings as well as that) but i don't find anything else we, as the government of the Exodus, can relate to other than being "Exiled"

perhaps something along the lines of recovering, maybe something following the lines of dsboy's "Pheonix"

I see where St. Jello Biafra is coming from. Some of the folks that come here are still exiles. I always thought we promoted the image of a safe heaven for folks, whether they are new or not, or were tossed out of their last home. We were and are a region for second chances and new beginnings.

The Council of Light?

I don't think council of exiles necessarily means we lack or do not answer to a government. You are right we have a very healthy government. ^_^
