Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Re: Ordinary Earth memory loss game.

Quondam, anon.

But I'll consider that anyway.

DA here, seconding that 'Quondam' sounds really weird. If it's in the east coast of the US, cities tend to be named either by the (usually British) person who founded them, a saint, or their native name.

May I ask how you came up with it?

[theearth]

It's an almost defunct word that means 'of an earlier time.' I was originally going to have a history of the city that was all about how it used to be a different city that mysteriously vanished off the map and was rebuilt as it once was, a 'quondam city', and the name stuck in universe.

But then I decided that was a bit too out there for the ordinary history setting but I didn't really think about changing the name.

I'm a nerd for obscure words, whoops.

Proooobably too out there for regular-world history. (Then again, one of Canada's proposed names was 'Borealia', w2g england...) I'd suggest changing it to a NYC expy, personally.

[theearth]

This has been pretty helpful because I'm English myself and as you can see we're all dreadful at naming places apparently. I'll give this some serious thought.
