How do you usually name your worlds?


Recommended Posts

I name all of my rooms after horror films that take place in the woods.

1. The Great Outdoors

2. Don't Go Into The Woods

3. COBBLESTONEROAD (instead of YELLOWBRICKROAD)

4. Stayaway Camp [instead of Sleepaway Camp (but mainly when i want to be alone)]

5. The Forest

Desc. is usually "Please be polite, and build your own camp" or "Please don't burn down the base"

...No warning about griefers being cursed and so on? That awkward feeling when you discover how rare on other servers such warnings are...

I made a new server this evening for @GiddyGuy. The fact he did not sacrificially slaughter me after reading "Giddy Up!" when joining just shows what a gentleman he is.

Sometimes I rename them because I can warn the newcomers about the world

- A world with twiggy trees
Name: Infected by Twiggy trees
Description: bring your own twigs

- Lights out preset
Name: The sunlight is for cowards
Description: Watch out, perpetual night

- Early winter
Name: If you join I'll probably kick you
Description: isn't personal, just check the server's day

- A passworded world
Name: The paradox 
Description: The password is in a sign next to the portal

- A troll-meter next to the spawn
Name: Don't open the chest next to the icebox
Description: Is a trap, if you open it the winter starts so, don't even touch it
Here I made the setpiece and I'm hiding in a bush near of it

Then I realized that almost all my worlds are always  filled with my friends, and they just right click on my avatarr to join so, they don't even see my names, since that day I just set the world's name as:

Name: "Rily's lag... I mean world"
Description: "just stay away from frogs and bees ok <name of a novice friend of mine>?"

I like making gimmicky worlds and if at all possible I make the name a pun on the gimmick. For example:

  • The Chester Fields: ~500 Chesters spawned in via console, world settings deliberately less deadly than usual
  • The Twilight Zone: Day cycle set to No Day
  • Rain of Giants: Infinite rain, all giants turned to Lots
  • The Hungry Wasteland: No animals or edible plants; fend off starvation via cannibalism, setpieces, and the like
  • Solstice of Suffering: Only summer and winter

Either that, or I don't use a gimmick and I name it whatever pops into my head, usually something silly like "Set Fire to the Bees" or "Scream at the Beef".

The description is either a summary ("Who needs autumn and spring anyway", for instance) or an evocative quote (for the original Twilight Zone, it was a line from "Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine). Sometimes the password is also themed.

Why with so many women around it would be quite ungentlemanly of me to throw a cat at you right then and there. :p
