Talk:Flotsam City


 * Talked about in This Thread and I quickly typed up my ideas. Not entirely sure how to get a talk page on here or other wiki things! Hopefully someone can sort me out! Would love aditional feedback/input, feel free to purpose changes or add things.

 * A couple of questions:

* What island/nation/realm is this in? Which of these is Ga'deen?

* Who is the reigning captain currently? Can you make up a list of previous rulers?


 * Other than that, looks good. InternetSage (talk) 02:46, February 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think we worked out that it would be in the Major Continent C as an independent city. Someone had previously proposed a name for the continent as Ga'deen but I linked to the base continent (and linked to Flotsam from there) for now till a name is settled on.


 * As for the other point, I'll work through a few little histories/bullets tonight and tomorrow and establish the current reigning captain.

 * Added the bit for the current Grand Captain, not sure how to format that in for a more cohesive look however. If I think of any cool ideas for captains I shall try to tie them in but I leave the floor open to anyone who has a neat idea for an unsual or fantastic pirate captain. I am thinking of maybe writing one up that won the contest without a crew (perhaps some sort of barbarian).

Since bottom comments are now gone I'll restate mine here in case it went unnoticed. I just wanted to point out that Flotsam is the name of a port town full of smugglers in the Dragonlance Campaign setting and if we want to avoid being too similar perhaps a new name is needed?

 * Shit I've been going up with the comments when I should have been going down! I never realized that when I put down the name. We definately need to change it then. Should I pop in a placeholder or does anyone else have a good idea for a "piratey name" ? Also nice work whoever wrote up the landed captains bit.

 * If you want to see what someone added, hit the history tab and you can "compare selective revisions". It's really handy to keep track of what's been done by whom. If you did that, you'd find out I was the one who wrote about the Landed Captains. Thanks for the compliment!


 * As for the name, I'm not 100% sure we need a new one. Flotsam is a pretty common noun when talking about the sea. In fact, I'd be surprised if the Dragonlance one was the only sea port named Flotsam. It would be like calling a town Seaside or Hilltop or Forestdale or Springfield or Deerfield.


 * If we can find a new name that makes everyone happy and fits the theme, great. But this is one that I'm not overly worried about, unless the rest of the city ends up looking and functioning the same way as the Dragonlance one. InternetSage (talk) 21:47, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
