Name

Personally I'm with kevin, however the votes seem to be going towards a galatian name. I would say that if we are going to use galatia, that we just use Galatia, and we can have sub division names as jeff suggested.

Well I was going to suggest "The Brotherhood", but I see where this is going. . .

Also, thought up:
GAMA
Galatian Airsoft Mercenary Army

the GAME (Galatian Airsoft Members Enterprises)

As far as a Airsofter becoming a Citizen, that is totally doable. It would be done the same way as the Non-combatants have always been done. You just like to bitch.

I'm still leaning towards Prop Pod 900, I'm working in a workup as we speak.

My short answer would be hell yes, but that's just me.

Well. I'll leave it alone until something is decided.

That could cause some issues, as it is not the case that everyone who stickfights will want to airsoft, or viceversa, which could cause people not to know much about it eachother if they don't participate in both events on a constant basis, nor have a say in the part that they don't participate in (which sort of goes against the rule that all citizens have an equal say in everything that galatia does). Also, what kid of ceremony do you give to an airsofter that wants to join ( an SCA one, a different airsoft one?). How will the pledgeship be handled for someone that only does airsoft but not SCA -- will we now require that pledges participate in both events? What if they don't care about SCA and only want to do airsoft? Who's the leader of the airsoft group? Is it the same one that leads currently galatia (titus)? Will it always be so? Will the rules of who can vote be different in the airsoft group? Will you need a different website/forum for the airsoft group?

Of course, the alternative to have separate and distinct groups with different rules may cause rifts, or maybe it won't?

Just throwing some questions out there that popped to mind since the subject came up.

Perhaps we are going about this wrong. It will be impossible to separate the two groups. About 5/8th of the people who airsoft do Markaland/ SCA. For the minority to expect the majority to leave their current association aside is rediculous. However, Berserk had a valid point. I propose a compromise.

Galatia Royal Air Gaurd or R.A.G.. Thought prosses is as follows. Galatia is of course the parent of the group in that it is what brought this renewed intrest in airsoft (well doug did but you know..). The "Royal" pays respect to that heritage. "Air" is a nod to the game itself. "Gaurd" well its a force of some type. I supposed it could be replaced with anything. On the Airsoft field the team would just be refered to as R.A.G.. This will allow some separation between the 2 groups, look good on the back of a tac vest, and cna be a play off of the "Dead Rag" used in big games.

I also think the group needs its own log. I whipped up a quick double head pheonix at work today..since I am stuck here and not out airsofting in 71 degree weather. Damn. now how do I up load it.

I know I promised Drop Pod drawings, but I've been super busy. On the upside, hopefully I can start the gas mask when I return. Also cam across this image, not to late to be a hive brood.

Hey Kevin,

I like the R.A.G. idea. I am more about the acronym, because I would assume that we would use that more than the full name. I still Like G.A.A.S.

Can anyone come up with a few more?

zombie · Post by **zombie** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 2:49 pm

I like R.A.G. too. Where is the addition to the poll?

hypo · Post by **hypo** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:05 pm

what about:

G.A.G. (Galatian Airsoft Guard)
G.A.T.S. (Galatian Airsoft Tactical Squad)
P.H.A.T. Guys (Pheniox Hostile Attack Team)

Scintfic · Post by **Scintfic** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:00 am

Scintfic · Post by **Scintfic** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 1:26 pm

I got another one

Galatian Rifle UNit

G.R.U.N.T

yes no?

Maybe this one : "Sciathán Fiannóglach an Airm", which roughly translates into English as "Army Ranger Wing".[2]

"Fiannóglach" (representing "Ranger") is an amalgamation of two words. "Fian" is closest to the English word "warrior", and refers to the ancient band of warriors known as Na Fianna in Irish Mythology. "Óglach" (literally 'young hero') means "soldier" and refers to the name of the Defence Forces in Irish: Óglaigh na hÉireann. Na Fianna were purportedly expert warriors, so the addition of the word Fian- before Oglaigh denotes an elite element to the wing.

We could mute the coors to OD shades. I really liked the elements of the shield.

Would have to know how to say it, like the patch though. Other than that, I think we would have to decide on a name when a majoriy of us are together in person, at one of the events.

You should redo the poll at the top with all the new names to get an idea of what is liked most.

Galatia Forums

What do you like for a name. (You can pick up to two)
