The issue when we don't own the .com of the game name is referencement - it's harder to appear on top of the search engines result (especially for uncommon domain names like .co or .cx - cf our issue with hackit.cx, which still isn't showing...). Today I brainstormed with Deborah, Matti and Renata to try to come up with another set of names, while checking at the same time if the corresponding .com was available. One idea, coming from Renata, was to use the concept of Pangea, the unique continent of which all the current continent are born of - it conveys well this idea of "one" and "unity". Especially because scientists believe this is actually a cycle for Earth - Pangea wasn't the first unique continent, and our continents will eventually reunite in the future. But most of the interesting domain names are taken for this... It only gives names that are a bit stretched, like thehumanpangea.com Just to give you a few of the names that were mentioned but weren't really great (in case it gives someone inspiration): mankindnation.com federationproject.com theearthunion.com theworldnation.com theglobefoundation.com theearthfoundation.com theglobeunion.com There is however one that stand out and that everyone liked: The Human Project. humanproject.com is for sale, so we could try to buy it. We also have a fallback if it is too expensive: humanityproject.com is for sale too, at $700, which remain affordable. What do you think? Given the delivery deadline, we can't really spend much more time debating, I'd personally go for that one - this way Deborah could start working on the logo and site design tomorrow for "The Human Project", and we could try to see how much they ask for humanproject.com to decide if we go for humanproject.com or humanityproject.com. Until we acquire one of those two domains, we could use a temporary domain like humanprojectcorp.com. Sounds complicated, but at least it would allow Deborah to move forward, which is the main issue here : ) Unless someone has a new idea that everyone immediately falls in love with?
