Managua Macuilmiquiztli

Is wikipedia enabling my ootp addiction, or is it the other way around?


It's right there in the etymology section on Nicaragua: the country was supposedly named after an indigenous leader who the Spanish called "Nicarao", but who modern scholarship reveals was actually named Macuilmiquiztli.



(Citation: Sánchez, Edwin (16 September 2002). "No hubo Nicarao, todo es invento" [There was no Nicarao, it's all invented]. El Nuevo Diario)

Macuilmiquiztli is Nahautl for "five deaths".



I find this to be a perfect name for a baseball team. (If you think this is crazy, there are also five volcanoes on the country's flag)



As you can see, the Managua Five Deaths are up 5-0 in the first inning!



I made these scoreboards in inkscape, this might be the first logo here that I actually fully made, without any clip art, and I am very proud. The larger one is harder to see in the game, the one with just the game score is actually usable though. I also watched a tutorial to bring you this distressed version
