As for the good old boy cronyism... is it such a bad thing? Not from a crony's seat. I'm not against honoring the past per se, it is just that I cannot personally relate to these things so well as I have never really lived in one locality, city, town, whatever, for more than 6 years sum. That's all. An old Metallica song off the black album comes to mind, actually! Story of my life, brotha, story of my life!!! Wherever I may Roam ..and the road becomes my bride I have stripped of all but pride so in her I do confide and she keeps me satisfied gives me all I need ...and with dust in throat I crave only knowledge will I save to the game you stay a slave rover wanderer nomad vagabond call me what you will but I'll take my time anywhere free to speak my mind anywhere and I'll redefine anywhere anywhere I may roam where I lay my head is home ...and the earth becomes my throne I adapt to the unknown under wandering stars I've grown by myself but not alone I ask no one ...and my ties are severed clean the less I have the more I gain off the beaten path I reign rover wanderer nomad vagabond call me what you will but I'll take my time anywhere I'm free to speak my mind anywhere and I'll never mind anywhere anywhere I may roam where I lay my head is home but i'll take my time anywhere free to speak my mind and I'll take my find anywhere anywhere I may roam where I lay my head is home carved upon my stone my body lie, but still I roam wherever I may roam

jerm: We could just use the major names like House of Welsh, House of Gaul, etc. Hey, if you guys want to live in the past, that is fine with me... (I feel a campaign speech coming on...). I won't be the one to rain on your nostalgia parade . Man, have you picked a tough battle. Sure you can hark back to the past. Whether you call it cronyism or a tribute depends upon your point of view and your history. I agree with you Jerm, but it's not worth getting worked up about a few names. If they reflect a glorious past, now lost to all but the old and the wise, then so what? Let them have their nostalgia if it comforts them; let the old names be glorified: it happens in history. Those of us who were not there, who know nothing, shall remain ignorant of any deeper meaning or reflection but in time's fullness it matters not a jot.

It really doesn't matter to me which we do, the names of the past was just the first thing that popped into my head. We can run a poll if you wish.

Crikey, I did not intend to cause such an uproar. My first post was a simple observation and suggestion. My second post was mostly in jest, hence all the smileys (though I generally don't like hearkening back to the "good ol' days" in public). There is no need for a poll (oh how I dread the thought). It seems like most either don't have a problem or they like the idea Mongoose proposed so just go with it already.

It really doesn't matter to me whichever is used. However, for somebody who was around to see some (if not most) of those people in action, it's pretty interesting to see houses named after them. Both choice are original, but one is just more Community related then the other... If I had to choose, I would choose the version Mongoose proposed.

As someone who has fond memories of the last DGame, I certainly support the original idea for the names of the senate. As for the McNulty seat, I shy away from this honour, as I intend to try to participate as much as I can in this DGame as I did in the last, and behave myself more honourably as well.
