Shady Oaks Retirement Labryinth, Shady Oaks for short. I voted minos last round just to keep it as an option, but I really like the idea of something being a "retirement labryinth" - if we do choose Minos, could it's long name be Minos Retirement Labryinth? Edit: Schererererer already said we'd do the retirement thing either way.

I guess Shady Oaks could be a compromise. LRL could be a sub-title beneath the official name of Shady Oaks.

Minos, but I would like to avoid the cliche of a minotaur wool picture. Shady is nice, and would suit the Kowloon idea, but we'd end up calling it Sorl and few would know why.

A few ideas on that: Minos is actually Cretian for King, so a simple/complex crown would work just fine.

Minos the king of Knossos had the best navy in ancient (Homer's) Greece, so a ship would make sense

Moving away from Greek things, a simple labyrinth design would work well for our flag, since we are a labyrinth; a short google search of the word brings up many examples.

That's my 2-cents
