Apparently not the same ones that you skipped... Find the word 'suggestion' in this... as you will see, they aren't even synonyms..... A suggestion implies that I am purposefully attempting to impart my own convictions upon someone else in the attempt to make them perform an action of my choosing. However- as you can see, my posts on here are simply ideas- nowhere was it said by me that the devs
should make a Pacific Theater with what I listed above- I simply said that if they did- these things
could be in it...

i·dea·less adj.
Synonyms: idea, thought, notion, concept, conception
These nouns refer to what is formed or represented in the mind as the product of mental activity. Idea has the widest range: "Human history is in essence a history of ideas" (H.G. Wells).
Thought is distinctively intellectual and stresses contemplation and reasoning: "Language is the dress of thought" (Samuel Johnson).
Notion often refers to a vague, general, or even fanciful idea: "She certainly has some notion of drawing" (Rudyard Kipling).
Concept and conception are applied to mental formulations on a broad scale: You seem to have absolutely no concept of time. "Every succeeding scientific discovery makes greater nonsense of old-time conceptions of sovereignty" (Anthony Eden).

6. a person's conception of something: his idea of integrity is not the same as mine

8. Philosophy (in Plato) a universal model of which all things in the same class are only imperfect imitations [Greek: model, outward appearance]
