I don't think self-administered justice and support by the government (which seems to be kinda corrupt based on the other organizations) fit together at all. In my opinion the initial version was better and there's no need for them to be police-ish.

Well if you've got it the way you want it, and you feel like it'll fit in as a resource, I'll add it. So, you good with it?

Quote from RichardLongflop

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.

Quote from The Organization

After much thought Flop, I don't think that reasoning is good enough.
You're essentially saying because you don't think the name I have given my organization constitutes a real name. I'm sorry, but just because you made the thread doesn't give you the authority to overwrite another's creative decisions. In a sense that invalidates the purpose of this entire thread. Just because you think its "too common" to be a name has no bearing on the name that I want for it, it isn't really your decision to make.
Originally, I compromised because of Vern's "Organization" despite the obvious fact that I actually started the practice, since I thought arguing over it would be juvenile, but I'm taking issue with this because its blatantly ignoring my own opinion for your own on a matter where your opinion is completely irrelevant.

So, You can either fix the name i.e. "The Eighty" -> "80" or you can remove the entry of my organization from your list. The purpose of submitting it to your "unofficial" list was because I was under the impression that this would be a resources for other writers, but as it stands it benefits no one, save for your Ego perhaps, to have it listed by the wrong name. Worse yet, if other writers end up referring to it by a wrong name, then that only serves to create more confusion.

Quote from RichardLongflop

I feel like I did get a bit too personal about all this. I figure I should just be unbiased about this stuff in future. I'll fix stuff up. But still, I stick to my suggestions.

To make it concise, I dislike "The Organization" because it's making it sound like it's THE Organization, in a list of organizations. I don't like it sounding like the big best one atop them all, so that's my viewpoint. (Also, if there's no 'The Organization', then neither you nor Vern would be winners and it'd be equality.)

And about 80. It doesn't really feel namey to me. It's a number. I wouldn't name my son 27 or my dog 13. Numbers just don't seem to fit anywhere name-wise. Sure, it's subtle by itself, though it'd only be noticed in speech if a person said it with great emphasis (since it's such a casual thing.) If I wanted to make a secret, subtle organization, I'd give it initials instead. If one were to know the company, they'd understood what each initial meant, and you could hide the initials easily enough. Like what the SCP Foundation does.

Quote from RichardLongflop

"80" as a name? Well, since there already IS a "The Organization" courtesy of Vern (his came first, sorry. I just figured people would have actual names for their things, rather than just flat-out stating what they were) your thing will have to be a branch of his. Why not give it a name that sounds like a, well, name?
