Ghost Town

New page

I have always known this level by the name '''Ghost Town'''. A quick Google search (''[http://www.google.com/search?q=nethack+%22ghost+town%22 nethack "ghost town"''] versus [http://www.google.com/search?q=nethack+%22orcus+town%22 ''nethack "orcus town"'']; 1110 hits vs 168 hits) suggests that this form is infact more popular. I think this article should be moved. --[[User:ZeroOne|ZeroOne]] 00:01, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

 :A general google search is misleading - look a few pages into those results and you'll see most references aren't to do with nethack's ghost town. A search restricted to RGRN favours Orcus town over ghost-town. For me, the kicker is that Dylan O'Donnell calls it Orcus-town in [http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/nh/gazetteer/orcus.html his spoiler], and I prefer to defer to his authority in all things nethack :) I'll add a redirect from [[Ghost town]] though, since a fair few people do indeed call it that. --[[User:Jayt|Jayt]] 18:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

		+	Is it Orcus Town, Orcustown or Orcus-Town? The wiki sometimes is not clear on this...
