I'll add in my own, but I wanted to comment on this suggestion:



[quote name='Retia Adolf' timestamp='1306855710' post='142166']

Muffin house sounds better,[/quote]



I like this one :3 Someone also suggestion Town Square as well, but that name is already taken on another site (SA) xD

[quote name='Emeralda' timestamp='1306886395' post='142668']

[/quote]

Terra Incognita

-- Hic Sunt Leones

-- Hic Sunt Dracones

-- Sleipnir Er Baztr





Nya?!?



Does anyone beside Kaze understands each of this section name and meaning?



Anyway lets use simpler english terms nya.



How about



Terra Incognita to be changed into "World Word War"



nya?



XD



PS:not trolling you kaze. Just stating that it really is hard to understand nya~

The meaning of those are included in description of each section, if you ever read them.

Hic Sunt Leones = here be lions

Hic Sunt Dracones = here be dragons

Sleipnir Er Baztr = Sleipnir is the best ( Sleipnir is an 8 legged horse in Norse myth, suppose it has connection with horse as the knight in chess)

Terra = land, Incognita = unknown,...easily detected.

Pretty cool names for me actually ^^



Anyway, rather than those, I don't know what's the meaning of Puella Magi.

If it's possible, I'll request suggestions of alternative name for that.

Continuing Saki's explanation; Terra Incognita (unknown land) is a name assigned to uncharted territory (on map) in medieval Europe, where cartographers speculated dragons (Hic Sunt Dracones/Here be Dragons) and lions (Hic Sunt Leones/Here are Lions) residences (although the phrase HIC SVNT DRACONES was only found in one known surviving map). Basically, these Latin terms alludes to the distinctive differences between TI and the rest of other sections in term of its themes, as it is completely unrelated to Anime and Manga. The old Norse phrase; Sleipnir Er Batzr (Sleipnir is the best - its allusion to Chess was well elaborated by Saki), was quoted from Gylfaginning;



Hestar ásanna heita svá: Sleipnir er baztr, hann á Óðinn. Hann hefir átta fætr.

These are the names of the Æsir's steeds: Sleipnir is best, which Odin has; he has eight feet.

Puella Magi is Magical Girl?



In Assassin Games, I guess Maffian will do. Combination of Muffin and Mafia = where people tend to stab each other while eating muffins. <<



So here's my suggestion:

Introductions and Farewells = Hellos and Goodbyes

Magical Lyrical Assassin Games = Maffian <<

Is it just me or should the Manga section and anime section should be one under the name section "Otaku Zone" (or w/e it's changed to) ^__^? I mean, isn't both anime and manga a part of Otaku-ism o.o?



Any opinions ^^?

Hahaha, Maffian xD I kinda like that lol I mean, it's meshing Muffins and Mafia together.. The Assassins Game is pretty much branching off/the same as Mafia Game (which, is a real life activity I hear) ^__^ Some rules are different , but pretty much the same idea ^^



The Maffians' Playground.. I dunno xD Sleep time (maybe D=)

Actually, the content in Otaku Zone weren't all about anime, there are Japanesse Cherry and Battledome which each of them not only relies on anime but also manga and of course Japan in some points.

But if Otaku zone is considered as too wide, then maybe we can change it into something more anime-ish.



Also I still want a new name for Puella Magi, any suggestion?

True..true..doesn't sound so maffia-ish ^^

I propose "The Muffin Ground Zero" or simply "Ground Zero" where people have to disengage any engagement outside the ground and play as new person/character.

Rawr, you can also leave suggestions for restructuring the sections. I mean, Otaku having anime, Japan and battledome all in one? It doesn't make much sense.
