| Message | Originally, I said Sildar Beach was a no brainer, since it's listed in the Wiki. But I'm okay with it existing informally as a suburb of Ceres as it does now. I like the name "Haven," so named because it was once a haven for pirates. Once too far removed from Sildar life to amount to much, the connection of the town to Aloria's interprovincial highway system has made it yet another tourism center. SA recommded Attlee. Thus, the cities recomended for Sildar are: 1) Haven, and 2) Attlee |

| Message | For Ultran: Holy City of Bog's Temple. So now, we need the new cities in Gavonshire, Kurmal, and Krentori. MLP would pick the name for Krentori and LP would pick the name for Kurmal and Gavonshire, unless they would like to differ the privelage of naming one of those two cities to another party. |

| Message | i don't really agree with having city with religious sounding name. (that goes for ultran). other than this, i don't have preference. i will propose some names, though. |

| Message | my proposals: Alorislava Prophecia Babylonia Caesaria choose any |
| Date | 17:15:20, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Alright, now all we need is MLP's proposal for Krentori. |
| Date | 17:41:14, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | LP, lets say Alorislava for Kurmal and Babylonia for Gavonshire? |
| Date | 18:06:37, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | The reason to have a religious sounding name for Ultran is that it's very much in keeping with: a) the political composition of the province, and b) the role play of the province. |
| Date | 18:10:47, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Just to summarize what we have so far: 1) Sildar: Haven, Attlee 2) Kurmal: Alorislava (What about Kurmali, or Kurmalibad?) 3) Ultran: Holy City of Bog's Temple 4) Krentori: ?? 5) Gavonshire: Babylonia (I don't like this because it references our world too strongly--I'd prefer Prophecia, which we can also connect with Alorian ancient history somehow in the Wiki) |
| Date | 18:28:54, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Alright, Prophecia for Gavonshire if all parties agree. (in retrospect, that is a better choice for the reason stated). |
| Date | 20:09:11, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Don't you think that 'Holy City of Bog's Temple' is quite an akward name for a city. Besides, the Holy Temple of Bog is already in Kurmal City (since we have set that out on our Wiki page earlier).? |
| Date | 21:55:03, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Wiki's can be changed, And the name still works I think. |
| Date | 21:57:37, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | Edit to the bill (post debate phase) Could the moderaters please note that the article the by "Holy City of Bog's Temple" is superflorus and not neccessary? |
| Date | 23:38:51, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | I still don't like the name Holy City of Bog's Temple. It sounds like the title of an action-adventure movie! Just Holy City seems better to us! And we don't like the name Liberty City. We already have the capital Libertia and a city named Port Liberty. |
| Date | 23:58:08, May 26, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | What about recalling the Holy City of Bog's Temple to a name the Libertarians came up with, Babylonia? I like that name. It's still sounds ancient and 'holy', and it's a more realistic name for a city? And what about Belmore?? A city named after our first president? |
| Date | 03:37:02, May 27, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | except on the fictional planet of earth, babylon was a city of sin. We cannot tolerate that being the name of our Bogist religion's capitol. |
| Date | 03:44:11, May 27, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the OOC: New Cities |
| Message | We liked your proposal, Liberals, about a city called Belmore. Unfortunately, we thought the best and fair way to pick the names was to give it to the Plurality party in each province. At this point, the bill has already been taken to a vote, and it is to late to change anythng in this bill. And the fact that we have so many cities named for Liberty just shows our devotion to it. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
