Since we were wandering a bit off-topic from choosing an anime to watch (which is in the Off-Topic part of the forum, but stay with me here), I am hereby decreeing this to be THE GRAND THREAD OF THE FICTONIAN NAMING SOCIETY.
Let us figure out once and for all what the hell we'll call this little viewing group of ours before we start doing things -- it'll at least make calling roll a little easier. Here are some suggestions so far:
Adventurer's Guild of Fictonia Fictonian Guild of Adventurers The Remarkable Viewing Consortium of Fictonia
Feel free to contribute with your suggestions, likes and dislikes -- but please try to remember what a given name might look like as an acronym ^_^;;

the Fictonaut's Observatory Guild, FOG? I still like the Fictonium Institute, but I guess most people associate institute with an insane asylum, not a research facility..

Great minds, Ann; I actually thought of a Fictonian Observers' Guild as well.
Then you mentioned Institute, and gears started turning. Fictonian Institute Of National Adventurers! F.I.o.N.A.! We could have a girl mascot and everything!
IT
COULD
WORK

I am a fan of the word "institute" over "guild" in any respect. Guild just makes me think of world of warcraft, and I don't want us associated with that.

to be fair, "guild" has been in nerd culture well before WoW came along. These days I associate it mostly with online games and mmorpgs in particular, but there are guilds in D&D, in games like Elder Scrolls, in books like Dragonlance and so on. It has become a standard fantasy setting term.

I'm okay with institute! Insane asylums don't scare me! Much.....well actually I don't know....I've never been to one...hmmm...I guess at night it would be scary.....(.__.) yeah, definitely would be scary at night.....

I also like F.I.o.N.A., if only for the mascot possibilities. But I think I like guild over institute.
