Sounds like a standalone agency then. Still, Eighty isn't much of a name. Names don't often have numbers in them, nevermind be a number themself. Numbers are too casual a thing to turn into a big name like that, it's like having a company called "Then" or "Absolutely", you need something that can be identified as a name, recognised, not something that can be replied with "Eighty? Eighty whats?"

If you're gonna have 80 in it, add something. Make it sound like an actual company or agency name.

Tell you what, I'm gonna ask Vern to change the name of his thing so you can get The Organization again. How's about that?

I think that's a matter of opinion. Just because its a number doesn't mean it can't be used as a name, Especially when its a group of 9 contractors for hire, something I will specify in an edit to my post, not a large organization. Furthermore, the purpose of the name is to be discreet, vacuous, and obscure.

Surely the name isn't relevant when it comes to how discreet and obscure they are? That's a matter of how many people know of it, rather than what they know it as.

I'll just put down "The Eighty" then.

Also now we have two versions of The Organization. Vern's one, and your "The Organization (Original)" one. Mate, this list was made so we won't have overlapping organisations, so we can keep some sort of canon going in our universes. Hopefully I can have Vern change the name of his, but even so, I think you need to get better with organisation names.

If I were to hae a car, I'd call it "my car." If I were to own a house, I'd call it "my house." But those would be personally owned objects, not a goddamn agency. I don't really like the idea of cliche names because this universe caters to many individuals that use it.

A place called "The Organization" might work if it were a standalone story or series, namely a TV series or a feature films, but this list is meant to be used by multiple writers. Surely you can be a bit more original than that, folks? And that doesn't go just for you, Org.

I wrote a lot about the RHG-Corporation in my last battle and I'd like to ask if that belongs here.
You see the organizers of the battles are an organization that is of course pretty commonly used and I don't want to limit anyone's creativity. But on the other hand it could be benefitial to have such an important organization more fleshed out and canon-ish.

Another idea would be to say this is just my version of the RHG-Corporation and everyone can either use mine or ignore it and use his or her own. And if people have their own versions they could also post them here.

If we have like say three different RHG-Corporations it's still better than everyone having his own (which they still can but maybe one of the ones we have here satisfy them). Therefor it still increases canon.

So, yeah. Should I post my version of the RHG-Corporation?

The best thing to do is keep it vague, then!

Alright, I'll try. Still added the heads of my own RHG-Corporation as optional characters, though.

Doublepost, I wanna say somethin'.

I am against using the names of what an organisation is to be its actual name. by that i mean stuff like The Organization, The System, The Agency, etc. If you do that, not only does the 'The' make it sound like THE big bad organization/system/agency of the world, but it also makes them sound horribly generic, the kind of shit you'd hear in a one-off B movie.

Give them good names. If you really want your thing to sound generic, here's a goddamn list of stuff you could use:

Synergy International
The Paradigm
Mindshare International
Bizmeth Incorporated
Johnson & Johnson
Cloud Corporated
Hyperlocal LLC.
Silo PLC.
Convergence Inc.


You could do more yourself! They're just simple buzzwords. Better than some horribly cheesy and awkward B-movie rip-offs.

I'm not sure if this is as good as my last idea, but I think it should be added because something has to try to keep everything in check and help others.

Well the difference is they aren't obstructed by bureaucracy or corruption and they are willing to do an occasional illegal act such as pillaging technology if it helps them help others.

Nothing is unobstructed by corruption. You could make it a police force agency sorta thing still! Just have it be a special one or somethin'. Still gov. funded, but standalone.

I suppose so. I guess I shouldn't say it's immune to corruption, but it's leader is (For reasons I can't say.)

Anyways sure, I can be a government funded elite police force.

These resources are meant to be used by anyone who wants them. It's not really a good thing to keep stuff to yourself.

I wasn't planning to keep the organization to myself. Are you talking about what the leader is? I'll explain shortly if that's it.

Edit:

I made some changes. Immune to corruption is incorrect, but it is a good organization that genuinely does work for the good of the citizens and should be written as such.
