Joint Effort Tree - a slightly different Joint Effort

[Mad Dan]

I don't think it'd fit city tracks . Maybe just names of random cities (not big cities necessarily) .

[The MNZ]

Rose, Pearl, Eagle, Hawk, X9, River, Hummingbird and Empiress are good eight names?

[Paw]

They could be, if they would be grammatically correct and have something in common.

I taked this name from random samba schools(AGAIN? )

[preetzertrain]

What about naming the tracks after famous buildings (cause they are stc)??
for example "Empire State", "Superdome", "Bellagio", "Pantheon", "Highbury", ...

Hm... Lovely idea! IMHO the best so far.

[Mad Dan]

Good one . But we really have to choose names of buildings that sound fine .

@Manzur: calm down finally

[Alex]

Yeah those would fit a stc circuit better than driver names. And BTW Dan egamad, you can expect my piece next week.

[egamad]

I don't think we should pick names of something so related to actual cities or buildings, as the names could be misleading in a way. If I saw a track named lets say "Eiffel Tower" I'd expect something at least remotely similar to the actual object, not just a random stc.

Maybe something more simple, like with the first trackpack. Manzur's mentioning of the hummingbird made me think of curious bird species, like Cockatoo, Lourie, Grouse, etc. (btw I randomly took some interesting birds from here). The main similarity could be, that all of them nest in treetops for example.

[Trigger Happy]

Still better than Harry Potter....

And what about turning it on rear of the name? It can be .. AB Avenue, CD Road, EF Boulevard, GH Square, IJ Plaza etc (simply city elements, each piece other one).

[Alex]

I'll go with egamad's idea.

So next time we should name it with worm names once that they're linked with birds?

@topic: I'll need an extra day.

[MD]

...or maybe birds what usally live in the big cities. Pigeon, Sparrow, Seagull, Thrush, etc.

[egamad]

Seems reasonable to me, Madd Dogg, if you find 8 of them and if there are no better ideas, we can go with that.

[Hiken17]

i'm really sorry egamad, but i'm not able to reach this lvl of trackmaking, also i haven't time for this, i never expected that this reach my finals exams, i need to leave this

[egamad]

I understand, all the squares up to now are really masterpieces, and the project has been in progress way longer than anticipated. With another place opening up, this is our current situation:

stage1: egamad
stage2: Bouncebackability, Paw
stage3: preetzertrain, XYY, Madd Dogg, Martyn
stage4: Darjo, Alex, Dan Hakulín, nielske, OlafK, The MNZ, ?, ?

Reserves: I cleared the reserves list, as noone was answering anyway.

So, ANYONE, who would like to take one of the final squares, is more than welcome to do so.

[Areen]

Ok, I can make one square so sign me.

[egamad]

Great, you'll receive an email shortly.

[Martyn]

How about naming it after birds that are used as sports team nicknames

for example:
Cardiff City Football Club - Bluebird
Norwich City Football Club - Canary
Swindon Town football Club - Robin
Swansea City Football Club - Swan
Sheffiled Wednesday Football Club - Owl
Neath Swansea Ospreys Rugby Club - Osprey
Newcastle United Football Club - Magpie
Newcastle Rugby Club - Falcon

[The MNZ]

What about historic football teams?(Santos, Flamengo, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Nottingham, Preston, Everton, Independiente)

[OlafK]

Sorry, but it looks like I have to opt out.

Firstly, I thought that earlier stages will go faster, unfortunately I'm little busy right now.
Secondly, I've been thinking how to connect those two squares, and I have absolutely no idea at all. It seems impossible to me.

[Otto Wilson]

What about Game Protagonist names? (can use surnames too)

Kratos - God of War
Nero - Devil May Cry 4
Dante - Devil May Cry
Altaïr - Assassins Creed
Ezio (Auditore) - Assassins Creed 2
Samus (Aran) - Metroid
Lara (Croft) - Tomb Raider
Gordon (Freeman) - Half-Life (Best Sci-Fi Game Ever )

[egamad]

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Without OlafK we are 3 participants short and I think if we're to see this project to completion we should make the squares available to guys, who have already made their squares in previous stages.

This in a way defeats the purpose of Joint Effort style of trackmaking, as the idea is for every participant to add an equal bit to the track, but with so many people dropping out, this is the only solution I can think of. It would be best if the squares are given to people from stage 1 and 2, as at least one square has been made after theirs, but at this point we cannot afford to be picky.

So, we have 3 slots needed to be filled, if anyone, who has already made his square, would like to claim another, you're free to do so.

[XYY]

That's, IMO, not a really good idea. Maybe I can try to activate some guys from german forums
Or probably some who jumped out earlier, can make squares now

[egamad]

I would be most happy to have new people on the project, but as you see, not just there's no new participants, even the "old" ones are dropping out.

Opinions much appreciated.
