Here's my FE Green. Excuse the 2 minutes in paint.

E: I did the names on paper so there might be some problems.

Look Dajmin, its my idea and I'll pick the names. Priorty has names that are sad 1st, then if that name isn't look good or something like that (boring, stupid...) we will accept other one, so you just say some name for some corner and I'll see decide is it good or not!!! And say why it should have that name and some story about it

About your idea:
It's too complicate, my one is much easyer!!!

On real tracks drivers dont pick the names that does owners, but in LFS drivers pick the names not devs

But what if you think a name sucks but everyone else on the forum thinks it's great? Public polls FTW, I'm telling you

anyway, it's Friday night and my work week is done! Screw you guys, I'm going home

Hmm, I can see some of you are naming all corners on track, don't do that, many of that names are bad and souns stupid, you must have reason to name some corner for some name, I don't won that we have names just like that.

You can see n00b's suggestion, no one corner is good, hmmm why?
1.Right-Hand Curve. It's stupid, I could name all tracks like that, I would like that we have interesant names
And other are prity much bording from n00b's list :\

I like this names from Duke's list:
Extrimly fast cotner on FE: Grand Hotel - Nice name
Left section on FE2 or Rigrht on FE2R: Laguna - I changed name from Lagoon to Laguna. Laguna is sound bether and it's Croatian word
and Marlay's too

---But what if you think a name sucks but everyone else on the forum thinks it's great? Public polls FTW, I'm telling you---
I'll change my opinion

KY gp long.- The turn before the oval part should be called "MazterSpeed" haha took me like 5 minuttes thinking on that

I already have a feeling that this ends up in the gutter

and @ lfsNOOb: i just made some suggestions to get the ball rolling, i did them in like 2-3 mins anyways

The last chicane on AS GP and Historic.

"Flipper"

Hmm, I think 130KP is bether
Can you say MazterSpeed for some else corner, I think that would be great name for corner befor that one

I can see this is going no where and I'm very sad becouse of it, so I'm decide to make a move.

1st thing: I was counting how many names we need and it's about 120 of them and there is only about 20 suggestions so that is a little problem, c'mon give your ideas.

2nd thing: It wouldn't be fear that I pick the names so I'm decide to leave this to Eric.

3rd thing: We need help from Admins (Eric expecualy).

So Eric you pick the names and hit it into game, make a maps in game whit corner names and if there is no enought names you say your suggestions.
C'mon guys we need this make in proggres! It good idea don't let it down

Quote from Dajmin :

I think this naming project would need to be done as an extensive list of polls.

Firstly you'd need a thread for each corner, where people make their suggestions. Then you'd need a dev to pick the best few and turn them into a poll which the rest of us would vote on. The winner of the poll would be the new corner name.

Rinse and repeat for every corner in the game. That'd be quite a project

We can't make 120 polls!!!!! illepall

So YOU want others to give their ideas and YOU will pick out the ones YOU like the most?

I thought this was a community project...

No, no, no that was the idea but it wont work, why?
Becouse it is my choise, so I think Eric should pick the name

Man we can't make 120 polls, how we gonna do that

The idea of having names for curves is good ( and has been pointed out, has been proposed many times).

The idea of doing it yourself, or by forum poll is pretty useless (as others have pointed out).

You can call any turn anything you want, but as the majority of people playing the game don't bother with the forum, they'll never know. They'll just have some guy screaming at them, out of the blue 'Don't call it T1, call it "Bob's Hot Dog Stand"...and threatening to ban them if they don't oblige.

If anyone were to name the various curves, it should be the Dev's, as they own them.

That's right, like devs have made names for tracks, they can make names for corners!!!

Only I would like too see some of this names we suggested in here in that names that devs would make,

so devs please respon, tell us will you make the names or not...

BL1 T1 = Banalot, T2 = The Squeeze.

I actually think this is a pointless thread, mainly because you are not going to get however many thousnad drivers that are licensed to agree on a name for any given corner. It would be a great idea, but I don't see how it can work, just too many opinions, and, sorry, poor names for corners. It might be an issue for the devs to think about for future implementation. Possibly even setting up a poll here in the forum for us drivers inputs.

I dunno, just my thoughts on it

Quote from N I K I :

I would guess, they are pretty busy with other things much more important than corner names.

You wont get everybody to agree on one name for a corner anyway.

I'll be continuing to give corners names in STCC videos for the sake of commentry reference, whether you choose to use them outside the context of the the commentators referring to them is up to you of course.

I quite like the FE Green names posted above by Duke Toaster so I may use some or all of those. . I'm not so keen on the Blackwood ones though.

@Becky: Do me the favor and call the first two turns of Blackwood GP Rev (or the two last of standard) "Courage Corner". Fits perfectly, I think. :wink:

Um.. now that i think... yes the one before that deserve the name

Is my english bad?

I've put a few names, many of them from real world tracks, hope you like it...

s!

It's not the first time this same idea has gone nowhere. Not by a long shot. It's failing now for the same reasons it's always done so before. No matter how many polls and suggestions you make there's always going to be people who don't agree with a name.

The only way corners are going to be "named" is through shared experiences that compel drivers to use certain names to facilitate communication. A prominent landmark that can be used as a common reference point. (Monaco's swimming pool complex) Street names on a street circuit. Memorable elements in a corner. (Nurburgring's Carousel) An official name supplied by the circuit owner. Trying to build it by "community" effort will fail because the racing community is a lot bigger than the group who actively participates in the forums.

I think the SO chicane and the FE chicane should be called "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

I was going to suggest "Buttf*ck Bend" for T1 at Blackwood, but let's face it... that term applies to most first corners :cyclops:

Short of input from the Devs, it's going to be pretty hard for the community to come up with names. Perhaps another approach: when an established league visits a particular configuration, they can map it out and apply names for the corners that frequently come up in discussion. We sort of tried it in MNR (OzBee-R's Monday Night Racing league), but with simple names, for eg. "T1 complex".

I don't think it's necessary to name all corners of a track, beyond T1, T2, The Sweeper... etc.

It's not necessary, that's right... But as many other things, it would add to the immersion if we'd call a turn "Eau screw" rather than just T3... Let's face it: It's all about the illusion to be a race driver and turn names are one part of the real thing, so you have to use that too to make that illusion complete...

It's just a bit too chaotic in this thread... Some corners now did get 234 names, some not even one...
