Slayer Organization Nickname Poll

[KingofCretins]

This worked with getting the BHC nickname to catch on, so maybe we can simplify our references to Buffy's organization -- something to call the top-down international organization of Slayers and Other White Hats that Buffy is in charge of.

[Nostalgia]

There's some good ones on there.. but I think the most justifiable one would be Slayer, Inc. After all.. that's what the show is all about .

[KingofCretins]

I really don't have much of an opinion between them, I just want some sort of consensus on something to call it

I thought HaliBuffy would be kinda popular, though

[Anon]

I think of them as the "New Watchers Council" or the Council for short.

[Wolfie Gilmore]

Slayto? (like Nato)

Also thinking around the Camelot territory. Buffy as JFK...?

I kinda like that it has no name. Reminds me of Restless: the "She's not all grown yet" exchange about the kitty. Also, harder for an organisation with no name and no ranks to be co-opted by the man. And to be top sekrit.

[KingofCretins]

So you're saying that the first rule of Slay Club is that you do not talk about about Slay Club? What's the second rule, then?

You're going to have a hard time convincing the transcriptionist that it's better not having a name for the thing, btw Kinda like telling a cartographer that its better if the countries of Western Europe have no names.

[Koos]

The Slayer Machine!

[modifiedblind]

Btw, what does BHC stand for? is it big honkin castle? haha, it came to me as I was writing the question but just to be sure am I right?

Ok then. Like the M- P- sketch about Australians...let's call everyone Bruce to make it simpler. Or Bob. Bob is a good name.

Seriously though, other potential names...hmm, some reference to the British location? Slay UK?

[KingofCretins]

Yeah, it's Big Honkin' Castle. I came up to it as an homage to Riley's line in "Buffy vs. Dracula". I also take credit for coining 'hellnostril', which, since I started saying that months ago on BuffyWorld, makes me think Joss really does read message boards.

I can't think of any UK related names to suggest.

Really, HaliBuffy wasn't worth even a giggle? Too obscure? I thought it was all politically topical (it wasn't a serious suggestion, or I'd have voted for it).

[Veverka]

Slayage Central, imo. To the point, direct.

BHC, you get. Hellnostril, I remember someone saying a while before - a girl called Taffy13, anyone remember her? She was writing season 8 with me and others.

Me either. But I'll have a mull. (of kintyre, geddit? With the scottish...no...? I'll get my coat).

Too obscure I'm afraid (though, haven't been following the news a lot lately)...splainy please!

That implies the place rather than the organisation though...any way of spinning it so it's more focussed on the people?

Heh. How about Slayerz.

[KingofCretins]

How about Slayer Mafia, to keep with a theme?

Slayerz is a little too 1337 for me, I think.

Yes, let's throw a Z in there. That's superheroey!

Okay, Slayerz' Central!

[KingofCretins]

I think I might just start calling them the Sunnydale Swim Team. Xander did have a t-shirt, after all, even though one would assume his is in the collapsed city.

[tangent]

EuroSlay? Slayers unlimited? The Guild of Slayers and Associated Trades?

I'm trying to think of a witty acronym but failing badly.

Slayerz is a little too 1337 for me, I think.

But it's hip with the kids!

Or the Slay Mafia. Like the gay mafia That's actually one of the things they always seemed like, especially in family - an amistead maupin kind of deal, where you don't fit in necessarily to the traditional structures (whether of sexuality or high school) but you make your own DIY family.

The Slayarchy?

Slaynation (what am I thinking of that in reference to? There's something but not sure. Possibly a club night of some kind)

Buffy International?

[Wolfie Gilmore]

Team Buffy, might be a simple solution. Like Team Angel. Especially if they could have a cheerleading competition against each other. Though that would be more fun if cordy was alive and Angel wasn't in hell.

I quite like Euroslay.
