[X] Plan: Angels in the Outfield
Another viewer of the quest here, and I may as well take a stab at creating a name since reading the discussion gave me an idea for one that quickly stuck in my head because it immediately hit me with a potentially cheesy one-liner to go alongside it. Sadly, I don't have an idea for a unique flag to accompany it.

That's... a decent point, actually? I'm kicking myself, how did I not think of that?

Eh, Eagleland is the canonical name for the Eagle Quarter that's just been changed to better fit the corporate and dystopian setting of 8BD. My logic is that, while the Eagle Quarter is the official name for the region, Eagleland is an unofficial name commonly used by the populace, much like how some Americans simply call the United States the US, America, or even Columbia on rare circumstances.

True, but while (speaking as an American) I'd accept US in an organization's name (given it's literally just an abbreviation), maybe even America, Columbia is unacceptable as a way of referring to the United States in an organization name (in no small part because there's the South American country with all those cartels and such named the same thing, no offense to any Columbians). And I don't know why, but now that it's been pointed out to me, Eagleland sounds (...smells? ...looks?) more like Columbia than the other options.

As another American I can't say I agree with you. Eagleland sounds far closer to 'America' to me. In that it's technically wrong but it's what the actual people of the Eagle Quarter will say when they aren't filling out legal documents.

Baseball and sports in general is a great excuse for having weapons, armour, and gear on our members constantly too. Baseball bats, hockey sticks, goalie gear, that kind of stuff.

True. I just feel like this focus would be more fitting if we had let CD play baseball.

Yeah, but we need to break the cordon before we can do anything. That requires 2 things - defeating Titanic Ant so that Pirkle doesn't flex his control of the Cops, and actually getting the Cops to lower the cordon somehow.

Well, I can also definitely see that argument as well, but we are talking about a fictional setting and comparing to a real place. I feel like this is subjective, really. So, agree to disagree and all that.
tbh not sure what i would have voted for, but angels seems like it's set to win so it doesn't matter too much?
ranks decently for inconspicuousness and it's not *extremely* sporty, though may be lacking in ambition/applicability? hmm
well, hopefully the name won't have major consequences mechanically because that'd probably cause problems no matter what we pick lol
if that's relatively settled on, any ideas of potential recruitment strategies? how to make the existing branding cool in order to maximise recruitment or such.
I guess we'll find out what people *in universe* think of it when we see the results of faction founding, could be a good source of feedback for what angle to take when trying to expand later on.

While it obviously depends on what type of criminal organization we found, the reaction will likely be something along the lines of: Local delinquent starts a gang, won't someone think of the children?
"think of the children" ends up different when the children are indeed very relevant and solving important problems, thank you very much XP
just to be clear, I more mean prospective members and their opinion regarding how the faction is.
seems like cass will probably still be pretty scary to everyone (which at the very least will deter direct challenges for leadership?) and this will probably flavor how the organisation as a whole feels, right?
other people aren't really relevant until they can either cause problems for us or we're about to cause problems for them. (which people complaining probably count as, but you can't exactly fix that easily)

Implications of being outside of the majority, as expected of a gang of delinquents and criminals, with the hidden meaning of the outfield position, catching those which the main players missed. We're gonna catch those aliens where others failed.

It really is quite good, yeah.
So, this is my first time on wait, about what's the usual turnaround time for doots?
