Lord Liaden Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Need an organization name Hey, Darren, if it wouldn't violate prepub secrecy, could you let us know when you find a name that floats your boat? Just so we know when to stop - it's not like our egos need stroking or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Need an organization name My ego does need stroking. How else am I supposed to pump out three to five Digital Hero projects a year while working a full time retail job? Come on, Liaden! Throw the Brawling Balabanto a break!

Doc Democracy Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: Need an organization name Hmm. If you are still wanting the one, then I guess I have to try. I'm not big on acronyms in official material so I was trying to think of names that would build on the future or exploration themes. So far that has come to: The Horizon Institute The Frontier Society or The Impossible Dreams Council Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Watts Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: Need an organization name Several good ideas here, everybody- thanks for the help!

He should probably be a mathematician - they're fairly hot in pop culture right now. Or else an accountant. And congrats to Supreme Serpent.
