If Philosophers, if got to use the Monty Python drinking song list.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

For a metal city, I'd like to see Blades of Steel:

So Cheater Hater and I have been getting confused with some of the city names. So far we have:
Quote:Occam's Razor
Blades of Glory
Smooth Criminal
Blade Runner
Smooth Operator
Blades of Steel

Including three Blade's and two Smooth's in the first six cities makes me think we're out of ideas already. I'm keen on alphabetical city names as it helps when you're playing more than one game...

So how about this list (edit: Blue ones have been used already):
Quote:Occam's Razor
Blades of Glory
Smooth Criminal
Dirk Diggler
Épée
Foil
Gladius
Halberd
In the stone
Jemmy
Katana

Longsword
Machete
Naginata
OKC-3S Bayonet
Pike
Quama
Rapier
Scimitar
Trident
Urumi
Voulge
Woldo
Xiphos
Y
Z

It's not as imaginative - and loses some puns, but I'd rather know which city I'm talking about... Any other suggestions? Most of these are lifted from Wikipedia, so I don't know if they are real...

Our worker names are running out so I've dug out a few more philosophers. Blue ones have been used already:

Hobbes
Isaiah Berlin
Jesus
Kant
Locke
Machiavelli
Nietzsche
Ockham

Plato
Quine
Russell
Socrates
Turing

Voltaire

Any suggestions for U and Y? And any other philosophers you're keen on?
