i actually prefer the PDF joke...if not for the meme but it makes the most sense since were expanding from here.

[] Periphery Defense Front (PDF Joke)
 
I would like to see some reason for why I should vote for one name over the other.
 
I feel inclined to make something invoking the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, since that's what we're ideally aiming for, but I also just like how something along the lines of the "Outer Rim Pact" sounds. Hmm...
 
Again this is just the name of the pact. Later on it will get a new name as it changes into something new.

Because it sound good. This isn't some huge new name for a new superpower it is a simple name for a simple defense pact. That is all there is to it for naming it.

I realized something the "Outer Rim Defense Initiative" has the acronym O.R.D.I. which actually sounds kind of nice, it definitely has a NATO feel to it.
 
Name voting will close in an hour and then I'll be doing the update.
 
Guess I fucked the config. Then again, that's still probably the winner. :V

Give me 30 seconds.
 
Fuck it, good enough. ORDI wins.
