Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That seems to be a thing. If I'm the first Fetchie to explore a zone, I just call it 'Oranj County'.

I am not shy of renaming zones though, if I've conquered them.

If I conquer a zone I always rename it. Often keep the old name if it relates to the geographical features of the place, but preface it with "WK" (a confusing reference to my real world name, which made sense to me years ago but is a pointless tradition now)

Made sure I’d spelt that correctly before sending

I am pretty boring and name them after the place, but I wouldn't give the same name to all the zones in a town, like somewhere I've been to recently.

There are quite a few on the SDW called SDW or South Downs Way. It’s 100 miles long so that’s not amazingly helpful.

Sharkie
You could always be like Beanie and go with something like 'Keep your bloody hands off Sharkie'. I note this name has remained even though neither Beanie nor I are near the top of the list anymore (it's Hastings parkrun hence more visitors - including roverman).

I also (apparently) own Beanie's Palace but don't have the heart to change it. I don't really care about any squares as long as I keep hold of Dalston. Which is rightfully mine.

[Off to the grammar thread to see if that zone name is an instruction to Sharkie, or to the rest of us.]

Generally boring names, unless a local meaning or other - and names should be unique (in my view).
Although I may have been known to list a few like 'nothing but bog' or 'nearly all sea' when they have been particularly empty.
I do dislike someone naming a zone for a little bit in one corner, when I know it for something in the other corner. So have to rename those.
