Location names can be unnamed (amnesia as today). All locations has to be given a name by all characters who see it. Until that it is "unnamed location"

The name can also be preset. All characters will see that name. This is how it used to be before amnesia. The ols names still exist for all locations, but no character can find them as it is today.

Unnamed location could have the possibility to set a general name to them. Lets call this setable names. The name for the location is "unnamed location" until someone gives it a name by a naming project. Maybe needs some resources, tools and time. (put up signs for the location)

Preset and setable name could be changeable. Making it possible to put a new general name for the location that everyone will see.

All names could be dynamic. Making it possibel for individual characters to have an own name on the location. This is also how it works today.

I'm a little confused by your options.

Don't preset and changeable prevent it from being dynamic?

I like how it is now, the same scheme used for people names, and I chose the option which I thought represented that

Every location have both the default name and each and everyones dynamic name. So we discuss two things here at the same time.



1 Default names (what i call preset)


Dafauld names is the same for every character. They are the name you see when you first encounter the location. These names are the once that is now in amnesia. They could again be brought back. A new feathure could make them be changeable so that a new default name for a place could be placed.


2 Dynamic names

These names overrule the default names for the location. They are uniqe for every character and could be changed at any time but does only effect that character. If default names will be back every character that has a dynamic name for a location will still have that name for the location in question and notice nothing.



What I understand so fare by the three general polls I made, is that all whants dynamic naming. Signs is acceptet. The question is about default names. If we have to use the dynamic names or if it should be optional. Today it is optional for buildings and vheicles and forced for characters and locations.
