We need to have a civilization name, a leader name, an adjective describing us. Register all ideas here
 
Well, if we all (or most of us) play an instrument, we could call ourselves the Band Geeks.
 
That's REALLY bad Rik!

But this is a good idea about band stuff. What would be a really cool band name?

Mutant Punk Civers

Sid Vicious could be our leader.
 
My personal vote would be for a name of ineffable mystery, grandeur, and power. Something like Dingo, Gripsack, Random, or Bumble. Or how about just Team Fred?

Agree that leader should be Sid Viscous.

For an adjective, I went to a word-randomizer program and came up with ... "crimeful". Really.
 
Random Mutant Bumbling Musicians

How about sinful for our adjective. Or musical.

Team GONG? Anyone remember the Gong Show? What could GONG stand for? Giants of North Georgia? Get Out Now, Guys? Guts of Notable Girth?
Living in Sweden I've never heard of it so I looked it up here

Spoof of amateur talent shows. Three celebrities served
as judges of the talent each week. The judges viewed acts
performed by amateurs and each member of the panel rated
the acts on a scale of one to ten. Any act that was deemed
too awful to continue could be gonged at any time and be
rejected immediately. The top scorer of the day won
the grand prize of $516.32.
I think it's brilliant! If we, the judges, deem an opposing "amateur" team too awful, we'll just gong them, and we can send DoW's saying "You've been gonged" :lol:
We could have a banner like this and name our leader Chuck Barris:

@Daghda: Loving the banner! :goodjob: :lol:

Team Gong doesent sound bad. :thumbsup: Wonder what Team A's name is going to be, especially with the bunch of crazy people on their team. ;)
 
The Gong Show brings back some memories of drunken evenings booing the television.

I like the Guts of Notable Girth. We could be the Fatties as our nationality and Fatty as our adjective.

I do like the Music idea. We could have Elvis as our leader. Rockers be our nationality. I love the city naming idea too. Nutbush City Limits, Graceland, Katmandoo, Big Pink, Nashville Skyline. And with Willie Nelson the pike, we would be unstoppable.

I'm torn.
 
Have to keep the music theme, so much scope from there. I would have gone for John Lydon as a leader. (particularly given Daghdha's tag line - Pretty vacant was a solo hit for him IIRC) You US guys might have missed him in "I'm a celebraty get me out of here". Just showed how the old Punk had mellowed, but still had the fire. Team name - "Anarchy from the UK" (you won't get much democracy from me!) adjective - Rebellious

Picture below - John Lydon learns literature!

For those that don't recognize the name:
John Lydon = Johnny Rotten

Elvis, Johnny Roten, Sid Vicious... they all work for me.

I like Daghie suggestion BTW.
 
So...if we had color blind help turned on, all of our towns would have (Entertaining) on the side? :)
 
I say it's all amateur hour as far as we're concerned. The Gong Show played no favorites. (If you ever saw any of the featured acts, you'd know what I mean.) Unless someone feels strongly opposed, let's go with Team GONG. My only differing preference would be for Chuck Barris as our leader rather than Elvis. But I bow to the majority. Do we have a consensus?
