What shall we call ourselves?
« on: May 27, 2014, 07:57:37 pm »
I brought this up in the chatbox and, naturally, we weren't able to reach a conclusion as to what we wanted. So, I told you guys to give me some time while I think up of suitable names.

Now, individual names and ranks I can think of, no problem. However, the group name is very different from that. You see, what brings us all here to this forum is the freedom of information, and the freedom of speech. The name needs to have some sort of relation to that in some way. Further, it can't be too long or too general. It needs to be something like totseans. Now, I wouldn't mind taking that name again, but Dfg, unfortunately, ruined and disgraced it in my eyes. Therefore, I will not associate us with that name.

Someone posted the name, templars. That sounded awesome but some didn't. Monks were also suggested but some also didn't agree with that either.

Here's some other name's I was thinking about:
Separatists
Philosophers
Apostates
Refugees
Guardians

... Posters. We don't need any gay names like that.
You don't have to be a student of Sun Tzu to realize that going face-down ass-up for a bunch of paedo's is a bad move for a number of reasons. I hope the final dimming embers of Totse aren't finally extinguished by a few kiddie-fiddlers. Even death by furries would be better than that.

so we're to conform to some super-generic label that pretty much every forum has?

Atleast totseans made sense. Those just make it seem like we're a collection of 14 year old psuedointellects.

What we call ourselves if not important. A moniker is a moniker. I also think calling ourselves something like Philosophers or Guardians or Refugees is unnecessary. Guardians of what? I'm more of a scientist than a philosopher. I am not seeking refuge. Don't pin us to the stupid constructions.
tl;dr: idealism will not un-rape you.

Dude they wanted to use Templars I had to scream for like 40 minutes
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Then what are we going to call ourselves? Don't go hatin' on the current choices unless you have a better idea. The names I put out are just possible ideas. They're not set in stone.

That doesn't sound too bad at all. It doesn't make too much sense but then again, neither does totseans at first glance.

Faggots if you're gonna force a name on something. That's like the kid at school who tells everyone to call him some edgy nickname cause he thinks it sounds cool but forcing it on everyone just makes him seem like a twat.

We're not kids at school. We're a group of people with a common ideal. And to be honest, I'm getting a little tired of being confused on what word to use when addressing each other as a group since totseans is already taken.

Niggers and Faggots both seem to be popular contenders :cosby:

4 choices I can think of are:

Sancs
Spartans
Scientists
or Not putting a label on us.

Specters, shepherds, Sanctuarians, Legion, the hive. Just some ideas.
