Man, we're nerds. People bother to roll their car windows down as they drive by to call us fags when we're just minding our business walking down the street. I don't smoke and I'm not gay, this would be my only excuse to yell "Damn straight!" back at them. It's like the bastard thing. But I see your point.
Adventurer's Guild of Fictonia could also work. I worry it starts to feel like a mouthful when you get up to 4 words, and "adventurer" and "fictonia" both have a lot of syllables in them which don't help things much.

I agree with Jmason about the Fictonian Adventurer's Guild being a no no.......

I don't know, Adventurers Guild sounds really World of Warcraft-y to me. I would rather have something that had more of a steampunk kind of sound to it, like The Remarkable Viewing Consortium of Fictonia, or something along those lines.

XD BWAHAHAHAH. Okay, okay I guess being the FAG's is a bit....awkward.
Adam: Whaaaaat? How is that easier to say? Though I kinda like the idea of having a name that's ridiculously over syllabic. It's playfully pretentious. Or something.
As to anime: I want to see Romeo x Juliet, but this doesn't mean I don't want to see Ergo Proxy too. I'm on the third disc of Kannon right now and I think I'll be ready for something a little less emotionally investing when I'm done. For such a cutesy show it's turning out to be unexpectedly......deep. We'll see how it ends, I might be changing my vote to Ergo Proxy. Hahah.

At this point I think I'll start a thread just to continue the naming discussion. Although I vote that for now instead of full-fledged shirts we can just sport pin-on buttons with the Fictonia wax seal so that members can sort each other out from the crowd. Also, another site worth remembering is Anime News Network's archive: it's a good mix of things that have been severely hyped to me (Code Geass, XXXholic, Ouran) and things I can't stop hyping to other people (Gankutsuou, Spice & Wolf).

I'm reminded from Telltale Games' recent episode 3 of season 3 of Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse when the Mole People mention something about the Anti-Sammunmak Society and Croquet Lovers of West Nigeria. We wouldn't want to have a bad acronym. What was the one from Red Dwarf? I know there was one from there too. It was around Series 5. I would love to be part of a society across the country. It would be terrible, however, if I was the only one in it from around my area. I suppose I need to do a little recruiting? J. I feel for ya dude. I'm in the middle of the country. Just about as bad.

I remember on a few occasions outside of the University of Oklahoma when drunk frat brats would do this. I almost fell over 2/3 times when the driver swerved because he almost had an accident and I would laugh hysterically when the driver crashed into something because of it. I was walking home from school with a t-shirt that had a half naked image of Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. In the future, people love machines. Who knew that a naked/almost fully naked girl being worn by a guy made him a fag? XD
