Ok, I got this idea I find nice.
I think that DDDs, and Monuments (Their peaceful equivalents) should have names. Even hurricanes have names, and I think that DDDs are pretty more (and literally) earth-shattering. So, why not give each of these a particular name? Because the First, the Second and the Third Doomsday Devices sound cool, but when we reach the Umpteenth Doomsday Devices, it won't be cool.
I also suggest that DDDs have a random (and quite small) chance of terraforming some tiles, due to the tremendous energies unleashed, and perhaps even moving some lands.

Yes, I agree. Poor Shelly is currently known as DDD2. She should be known for her RAGING ANGER and for being called Shelly. (And I love the idea of moving lands...  ) |

I like the idea of lands being permantly marked when a DDD has been set off on it.

Yeah, that would be totally cool. Can we get it retro active?

If there's any sort of voting, I'm in favor of naming, and retroactively so.

We could have a Kall Of Fame type list.
1. DDD1 - Rasteroid - The First
2. DDD2 - Xade - Shelley
3. DDD3 - Vilhazarog - Ben Smith
etc.

Actually, I was voting for a big permanent crater with my name on it, kinda like a monument, only you can't get rid of it.

I agree. A "Hall of Fame" just doesn't express apocalyptic destruction as well as a gaping hole.  Something on the map would is the way to go. |

So we need some sort of systematic way to name Craters. While we are at it why dont we name storms too! Or Horseman arrivals. DDD explosions will eventually become common enough where it will be a bi-monthly occurence. So don't worry |

But the DDD's are something a miner sets out to do/create (much like the monuments). I thought when they were first introduced as a concept, there was going to be some sort of perminent recording of them.

Only in the memories of those that survive and left to rebuild civilization.
