Petition to officially rename 'Diso' to 'Disco'

[Darren Grey]

Forget the past, live for the present! In these vibrant, changing times we need a world that speaks to our inner youth, to the passion inside our souls! And that passion tells us to... Disco!

I hereby request that Diso be officially renamed to Disco! This will end the embarrassing problem of neighbours getting our name wrong, whilst also boosting the tourist industry as we become known as the party planet of the whole sector. All flooring shall be replaced with light-up panels, all residents will be required to walk in a funky rhythm, and speakers will blare out Old Earth disco music all 78 hours of the day and night.

Join me disco dudes and dudettes by voting above to shirk off our mundane past and embrace a groovetastic future!

Sacrilege. Burn them!

I am HELL NO staying with OLD School. Besides Diso is a south-east Italy If you look at the map it would be heel of Italy if you look at Italy as a boot.

One idea you could have two planets in the galaxy one called Diso and one called Disco.

The main planet of Diso system.

 

[Perseus]

If we change the name to Disco then some of us won't get in!
Keep Diso classical - non of that funky chicken now.

 

[Patrick_68000]

all residents will be required to walk in a funky rhythm

Yeah !

Friday and Saturday night, useless to go into the system.

Am trying to reconcile seventiestastic pop and flares with an Agricultural Democracy...

Farming Travoltaville?

 

[Darren Grey]

We farm rad-ishes.

In the same way that Benidorm used to be a quiet fishing village and now look at it

 

[withnail]

Is that progress then?

 

[Magma]

Renaming it will cause no end of confusion when there is another outbreak of Diso Fever. People will be dying and all anyone does is make more mirror-balls and flared suits.

I like the idea that Dis[c]o is the new Ibiza. Could we have trendy middle-aged NPC's that tell visitors that if you go to the northern part of the planet it's still really beautiful and not clubby at all?

 

[Darren Grey]

Well this poll is proving unsurprisingly unpopular

Maybe I should start a new petition to rename Lave to Lathe? Then we could start new soap brands based on the planet! Mm, love those grubworm-scented bath oils...

 

[Philip Coutts]

Give yourself a shake, just no this is sacrilege of the highest order. In fact anyone who votes yes is a heratic. Sharpen the pitchforks and light the torches I'm going in.....

 

[PacalB]

Seems like there a nice place in the airlock for, so far 8 people!

 

[Minti2]

Lone Gunman goes into hiding avoiding pitchforks and any nearby airlocks!....sorry but i love change and love Disco! D.I.S.C.O!

Forget the past, live for the present!

I'd like to direct some attention to this quoted statement right here. "Disco", if history books are correct in this, was a short-lived fad sometime late in the second millennium. We live in the year 3300. Therefore, "disco" is by no means "present" or the opposite of "past".

It seems clear to me that this person must have either 1) discovered a highly efficient cryogenic system, or 2) he's invented a time machine. The aim in either case seems to be to try to bring back this odd style of merrymaking called "disco" to the present day.

In either case, we need to hunt him down and make him spill his secrets!

Do you think in future disco will be seen in the same light as modern day morris dancers?
