Screw you, Im calling it Dust Hill

What abotu Desert Hill Zone <shot> JK. Well, if you had to give it a name, I would say that it might have been DHZ at one point, or (more stable theory) is that GCZ was a beta name for it

 

Dust Hill, Desert Zone...before everything was proven, these were interchangeable terms, but now that everyone should know better, we should be calling Mystic Caves "Dust Hill" if referring to the beta, and the Desert Zone is and always will be just that.

Those terms are no longer interchangeable. Everything was proven. Yes, if you call the Desert Zone "Dust Hill", everyone will know what you mean, but it's not right, not any more, not since the proof has shown up.

Personally, I don't care one way or another what you call it, but I'm going to be using the correct terms from here on out.

Scarism: So I can call it smelly yucky doggy poo three years old ?

In all honestly, you are compeletely correct, though I don't discount the interview w/ Ms. Ross where she calls is Dust Hill. However, I will call it desert zone and MC Beta

 

I can understand where you're getting this from. However, I was used to calling it Dust Hill also, and then these facts came along. After realizing this, it would cause too much confusion if everyone was using different terms for it. Therefore, either way, I think we should just decide one way or another to call it. Until then, I'm calling it by the desert zone, since we don't really have an official name.

 

I don't see a need for any debate. If you say Dust Hill Zone, people will automatically think of the desert zone so everything should be fine. However, if we want to be fully correct, I suggest giving the desert zone a name.

 

Oh my god, look what you just did. You gave it a name. It's the desert zone.

 

Fair enough, if that counts. No need to imply anger.

 

Well to my knowledge, that hasn't been proven wrong yet. Nobody knows anything about either the level or the name 'Genocide City.' It could be or it couldn't be.

 

I'm going to call it "desert" because it makes more sense and will avoid any further confusion.

 

First of all everyone knows Dust Hill was a beta name for Mystic Caves, well EXACTLY!that's all it was.The name was changed to Mystic Caves cause "Dust Hill" didn't realy make sense for a level that was based on caves.So the name is 'freed up' so to speak.And if you think logicly, there is more dust in a desert than in caves, and cirtainly more hills than a cave.Caves have stalagtites, stalagmites and its dark and mysterious wich is probably what the name Mystic Caves was dirived from.Dust Hill is the best suited name for the Desert Zone.

And why call it Genocide City?First thing that makes no sense is why name a zone that is based on a desert Genocide CITY?There are no citys in deserts.Now if Genocide city was supposed to be the bad FUTURE of a city than it would make more sense, only there would be wrecked buildings in the background with sand building up around them rather than canyons and hills and what not.Second thing is Genocide City was never made, there isn't even a mockup of it for reference to what it may have looked like.The name Genocide City sounds like a city ravaged by Robotnik, so then the PRESENT to Genocide City could have been Chemical Plant or somthing along those lines.

Even with all that and even knowing that Dust Hill doesn't realy suit Mystic Caves, I will still continue to call it by "Desert Zone" to avoid confusion like ICEknight said.

 

Well, there could have been some kind of town with a saloon and gunfighters and stuff... Not exactly a city, but would still make some sense.

 

No there isn't. Deserts have sand, not dust. Dust is particles of dead skin, hair and other such debris deposited by animals. Sand is ground-up rock.

 

Keep in mind it was a western cactus type desert. Dust has everything to do with the western crap. Dust hill makes sense to me:P As far as the name itself anyway.

 

As I have said before, I think that they had Dust Hill (desert) in the Mystic Caves slot. When the level got scrapped they stuck Mystic Caves in that slot and never got around to renaming the slot in the level select. Thus, I will call it Dust Hill and if I refer to Mystic Caves I will specify beta or final.

 

That is what I was thinking.

 

I hate Dust Hill/ Mystic Cave In the Beta AND in the Final! I say it was a waste of my time playing a level like that! So I will call the Dust Hill... Desert Wasteland and Mystic Cave.. Waste of my time.

 

Ok, once again the meaning of "dust" can be these definitions (not all the meanings are here, so if you want to know, search for it):

From www.dictionary.com:

1. Fine, dry particles of matter.
2. A cloud of fine, dry particles.
3. Particles of matter regarded as the result of disintegration: fabric that had fallen to dust over the centuries.
4. Earth, especially when regarded as the substance of the grave: ?ashes to ashes, dust to dust? (Book of Common Prayer).
5. The surface of the ground.

From www.webster.com:

1. fine particles of matter (as of earth)
2. the particles into which something disintegrates
3a. the earth especially as a place of burial 3b. the surface of the ground

From www.encarta.com:

1. small dry particles: very small dry particles of a substance such as sand or coal, either in the form? of a deposit or a cloud
2. household dirt: the small pieces of dirt that accumulate in a layer on horizontal surfaces in buildings
3. remains from the decay of a body: the small particles that something, especially a human body, is thought to be reduced to by decay after death
4. earth as a burial place: dirt or soil, particularly that of somebody?s grave ( literary )

There... now there's no debate on the meaning for it can mean any of these. But as usual the question is about the name calling of the picture.
