It'll be the same thing, I assume. I focus on my own dorm and only occasionally pester the others in good jest. But all in all, my dorm is where I spend time and work since it's what I'm in charge of.

[Veteran]

Zythe, man, Toan's a dorm mod as well as being super!

He'll know what dorm he's in before they're opened of course!

[Chikara Nadir]

DJ is a dorm mod, Toan is a dorm mod, I was a dorm mod while also an admin before. The law about such is usually that even if people have the power to see more than one dorm, if they're assigned to only one...they're supposed to stick to their own. And yes....Toan was a dorm mod of the Wifi- he'll be a mod of one of these.

Now for the last time- THE DORM NAMES ARE NOT CURRENTLY UP FOR DEBATE. We'll discuss them when the new Sanctuary is open.

And for anyone who CAN see the dorms (aside from admins and supermods), PLEASE PM me so that I can figure out what I did wrong in listing them...so that we don't end up with a few people able to get into all of them, or any of that nonsense. XP

[lord-of-shadow]

I can see them, Chik

And Zythe. Stop the nitpicking. It's annoying. It's all you've done in this thread, nitpick, nitpick, nitpick. First the names, then Toan's position. Put a sock in it.

[Chikara Nadir]

*cough* That's who I meant. Supermods and admins can see 'em. And I believe I found the problem- chef, were you signed out and set as a guest at the time that you saw the dorms?

Not that it's reaaaally a problem, of course. Kehe...now you all know.

[Selena]

Why not the towns from AoL?  Those would be cool.  Or maybe one of the labyrinths from the original.  I DEMAND OLD-SCHOOL-NESS!

HEY- there already was a Labyrinth. I owned it (well, with Chik and nyc, but they don't count). THERE SHALL BE NO OTHER. MINE.

[Masamune]

Doomed.

Wait, did I say that? Crap.

[31-Year-Old-From-Georgia]

Wait, is the Dorm Gates the new Sanctuary? Awsome name.

[Zythe]

I like it!

[Kwicky Koala]

So Ikana Canyon will be deserted, Forsaken Fortress will be ruled by a meglomaniac and Lost Woods will be confusing.

Wee.

I wish that i'd played at least one Zelda game, because now I have no idea what these names refer to. I have only one querie, can we do a poll to see how many people are Zelda Fans, to see if this is still a Zelda themed site? Because, I've never played Zelda, and I know a few others here havn't. It would be nice to have Dorm names that everybody could understand.

Otherwise, the names are cool, just confusing.

[Overconfidence]

C'mon Goose, i'm not a Zelda fan but even you should be able to notice that one's a forest, one's a canyon, and one's a big evil fortress. I think that's enough to go on right there =P.

[Showsni]

Ikana Canyon's a dark evil place in Termina. It was the home of an ancient kingdom, which was spied on by ninja's from somewhere - now it's a pretty much deserted place full of ghosts, skeletons, etc. And a big colourful house that plays funfair type music every so often.

The Lost Woods are some confusing woods. Everyone who enters gets turned into a monster, unless they're a Kokiri.

The Forbidden Fortress used to be HQ for some pirates. Now it's Ganon's base. Lots of searchlights, guards, and some piratey themed stuff. And rats.

[Zythe]

What you said about the Lost Woods is not stictly true. The lost woods have appeared in many, many Zelda games. The only constant thing about it in the series, is that it's a place where people get lost if they don't know where to go.

[lord-of-shadow]

The new Lost Woods dorm would be better off if it is based off of the Lost Woods from LttP - they were the best ones in the series, from an aesthetic and atmospheric standpoint.

Hate to break it to you Goose, but this is the forum for a Zelda site

[Zythe]

I agree with that completely. Also, there's a lost woods sprite map for the LttP one out there.

[Selena]

Lets not turn this into a Zelda debate. I dislike the games, have never seen Forsaken Fortress, was only to Ikana once or twice.... but if I can deal with it, so can you. The only real element from Zelda is the name and nothing more. XP

[Chikara Nadir]

There ya go. I recall that one of those who wanted to have the Lost Woods as a dorm meant for it to be based (at least its sprite map) on the LttP one....might be wrong, but it doesn't really matter.

The point of them having these names is so that we have something as a basic theme to work with. Piratey, watery fortress. Puzzling forest maze. Ghost and skeleton-filled canyon. It's all insane, and all fun. Heck, with the themes we have going, it could make for some iiiinteresting dorm-wars (at least with trying to get into where your enemy is!)

Something that isn't changing: they are Zelda themed. They always have been Zelda themed. They always will be Zelda themed. I don't really care whether you joined LA because your friends told you to (as was my case) or just wandered upon it while searching for a message board. Legends Alliance is forever a Zelda site, part of Zelda Legends and owned by Khuffie. We may not all be Zelda fans, but Khuffie was the one who originally decided that the dorms should be kept connected to the universe of our little green-clad hero.

As said before, the dorm names are NOT currently up for ANY debate whatsoever. Said it MANY times, and I dare you to question the names again. When the new Sanctuary is open, we can talk about it. Otherwise, just be proud of yourselves that you know them in advance- no other dorms have given their members this advantage.

Aaaanyway, three weeks to go - and your dorm mods are just as excited as you are. We're here to start a new beginning with the dorms, and hopefully it will be a great, fun-filled adventure.

[Overconfidence]

The new Lost Woods dorm would be better off if it is based off of the Lost Woods from LttP - they were the best ones in the series, from an aesthetic and atmospheric standpoint.

I suggest that the entire dorm not be based off the zelda location - give it a bit of individuality. That way it makes it so that the Zelda fans AND the non-Zelda fans can be happy - while it's partly from the game, that's not it's whole identity.

Though the sprite map could be based on the one from LttP, that would be acceptable.

[DarkJuno]

Didn't Chik JUST say not to debate over it?

[Overconfidence]

Over the Dorm Names? Uhh, I wasn't? I was answering L-O-S on a point that he just commented that doesn't have to do with the dorm names, just some trivial thing? ><

[Overconfidence]

I was mentioning how yes, they should be zelda themed, but not be entirely based on the zelda locations, and have a bit of flexibility, as to please to both the zelda fans and the not-so-zelda oriented folks.

[Zythe]

They are anyway and always have been. They've never even existed in a proper Zelda universe. We just take the names and maps if they're available, the rest is based on the members of the dorms.

[Stew]

Well cut off my ears and call me a large mouse, this is looking better then I thought. I just hope this computer lasts me until that day. Three weeks, not a chance
Who cares about the names? Soon enough you'll all be arguing which one is the best, and you won't really care about the names:P

[31-Year-Old-From-Georgia]

Hey, anyone think the Dorm Archive needs a new name? Maybe one of the graveyards from OoT, TMC, etc.

[Goose]

Since we cant argue about names, what can we argue about? I think we should argue to get a fourth Dorm, even though its completely not needed and unrealistic, just something to debate.

[Toan]

So arguing for the sake of arguing...? But that's what Contro is for! (Just kidding, guys. )

How about rather than arguing over nothing, let's work toward some way to ensure Khuffie gets us skins before the dorm opening?

[DarkJuno]

........................


Only reason why I'm not closing this is because the dorms are Chik's area.
