SCUBA Hero Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: Need an organization name Um' date=' were you aware that DC Comics already has S.T.A.R. Labs? I assumed that's what Darren was referring to.I was not. Thanks for the info. I like the final decision, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: Need an organization name You could always steal "Star Labs", of course, as Wilde pointed out. A lot of modern companies try to make up brands, for various reasons. FUTgen Laboratories EnvIRON 4R (you pick which R's) THINK Inc. More traditionally: Research Strategies, LTD. Intertech (one I use quite a bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: Need an organization name Abbrams Technologies. It's already in the CU, and it's perfectly situated to become the CUs Star Labs. Just add a genius gadget master or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: Need an organization name It looks like a name has already been chosen, but I can't resist sharing this idea. In my group, we have an expression which is "IFM". It stands for "Inner F***'n Monologue", and it is used when one player wishes to convey the suggestion that another player should keep his "bright ideas" to himself instead of announcing them out loud for the GM to incorporate into his plot (these are ideas made during the speculative phase of an investigation like "what if person X is a were-tiger?" or "maybe your DNPC is being mind-controlled?" or "maybe the CIA put implants in our head to track us?", at which point the GM is thinking to himself: "hmm, That's a good idea. I'll just rewrite my story...") At any rate, the term has become kibbage in our group. I recently introduced a STAR labs type company called IFM. Unlike other corporations that use a set of letters to market themselves, the IFM corporation refuses to restrict their definition to one set of words to match those initials. The first two letters always stand for "Ideas For...", but the last letter is always open. IFM's motto is as follows: (picture a montage with shfting pictures of scientists working in the related field below) "Ideas For Machinery... Ideas For Materials... Ideas For Manufacturing... Ideas For Medecine... Ideas For Missions... Ideas For Matters... Ideas For Mercy... (and then the dramatic pause) Ideas For Mankind..." The logo looks suspiciously like IBM's, with one of the letter's changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
