[FSPA] Naming of FSPA Sterling location & Web Expertise needed

Mon Nov 27 21:19:52 EST 2017

Actually, Shadow is where i got the inspiration for the sanctum, and have had one since i bought it in the 90's straight out of Time Out in Springfield (I remember their techs could not fix it and made me sign a disclaimer in order for me to purchase, lol).  But a Shadow on location prolly ain't such a good idea with its typical mechanical issues, and i would not want to move one of my personal Shadow in anyway, however, if anyone has one for sale I would consider it, so hit me up in private email.  -Roland

Just Silverball Sanctum (or The Silverball Sanctum) is cool, and reminds me of the Sanctum  in The Shadow pinball.  Also, Lloyd Olson has been running SS Billiards in Minnesota for decades with no apparent repercussions, so having SS as an abbreviation shouldn't be an issue.  You could always abbreviate to SBS if you wanted to.  And Roland, if you name it Silverball Sanctum, perhaps you could put a Shadow pin in there!

Thanks for suggestions everyone.  I am not sure why there is a focus on abbreviations and initials, as I'm not sure when initials need to be used.  And SS (Super Sport V8 version) initials have been used on Camaros for 50 years so the Nazi reference isn't really worrisome.  And SSB is Silver Strike Bowling, and they actually do use that in the marque on the game    The thing about having Sterling in the name is if it ever moves, like to nearby Herndon, the name, website, etc will have to be changed.  Not sure that will be a problem though.  I also just did a quick search of Sanctum in CT as someone suggested the word Sanctum was already used in pinball terms there, but they do not call themselves Silverball Sanctum, and they are far away, anyway, so nobody is going to be confused.  So maybe will stick with Silverball Sanctum, it's kinda edgy and describes the place.  Or maybe even combine the suggestions and call it Sterling Silverball Sanctum  or is that too long??  -Roland

In my head I see SSA and think Social Security Administration.

I vote for SSA aka Sterling Silverball Arcade myself.... I like that a lot.

SSA is nice with arcade added. My favorite so far

I think if it’s going to be SSB, then it should be Sterling Silver Ball, two words, “Silver”, “Ball”.  Otherwise, if you wanna avoid Nazis and must have 3 letters to avoid “SS”, then make it “SSA”, or Sterling Silverball Arcade.

Same. 

SSB initials.

Sterling Silverball written out.

oh but with Silverball as one word when written out

I like the initials SSB as Deb suggested, then it's the 3 letter format

I wouldn't have worried about the name thing. 

But I think the idea of incorporating Sterling into the name is a fun play on words with Silver. Then you have the location in there too. 

Silverball can be one word. If it's a name you can bend those grammar rules. Plus there are plenty of prior instances of it as one word. It's more pinball-y as one word. 

I might avoid the initials SS in case of Nazis. But I'm probably just weird that way. If you add the B then you're covered. 

Or maybe Roland's Sterling Silverball (wait, those are Scott's initials. Would that be weird?) 

Roland's Sterling Silverball Palace? Hangout?

I'll just stop now.

I have been told privately by a league member of Thursday's RZ league that my naming of the new Sterling league location & pinball hangout "sucks".  I appreciate well-meaning criticisms and I admit the naming of the place was simply last on my list of priorities with all that I have to do with the place behind the scenes in this venture, so I have decided to maybe change it wanted to run the name "Silverball Sanctum" by everyone.  And if it is that, should Silver & Ball be separate words?  (I like it as one word although not grammatically correct).  If you have an opinion, good or bad, I would like to hear it.  Also, if anyone has any technical experience of how to create/handle/maintain a real-time web opening/closing schedule that everybody can access (since the opening days and times may change with great frequency based on volunteer availability) I would like to know.    Thanks. -Roland
