Built on a Word

[LonewandererD]

Now this is an idea that I know would only really apply to the city builders of the Guild but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. The Challenge is to build a city/town/building that is based around a word supplied by the Moderators. You can make anything so long as it clearly reflects the supplied word, for example the word "eight" could be the City of Eight Towers, a city where everything is based of an octagon, or the word "high" could be a city in the clouds or a really tall tower.

Just a thought

It could apply to regional maps ("Eight Peaks County", "The Eight Islands") or building/dungeon maps ("The Eight Sided Temple", "The Eight Levels of Doom") as well.

Sounds like a fun idea to me.

[Lukc]

I second the notion that it's fun!

#!/usr/bin/ruby

words = []

open "/usr/share/dict/words" do |file|
  file.each do |word|
    words<< word
  end
end

puts words[rand(words.size)]

I ran it and got "thermostatics"

[Seraphine_Harmonium]

I like the idea. But I ask that the word we build on NOT be "thermostatics".....

[Depassage]

Same as Seraphine...

[Hai-Etlik]

I like the idea. But I ask that the word we build on NOT be "thermostatics".....

What? It might make for some interesting thematic maps about climate or ocean currents.

[vorropohaiah]

cool idea, though the choice of word would be important

[LonewandererD]

We woild have to restrict to some of the more basics words like numbers, colours or basic geological features. Also, I don't even know what Thermostatics mean, something about motionless heat?
