Name for a union

[Colossus 2]

Ok here is the deal, I'm going to create a union at gamespot.com and I dont have a good and funny name that is related to OFP and the rest of the games.

I lack creativity these days, please help me

BTW mods, please correct me if I posted in the wrong forum.

Union you say...

could you give us an example? like a clan? or something that *could* be a country?

yes what the heck is a union? (maybe a labor union for addon makers is a good idea; that's why I looked at this thread)

FAQ

It's more like a news center where you can post things that has happend to the game you have made a union to, you can say it's almost like ofp.info but not that good.

The word union speaks for itself, my mission is to gather every OFP/BIS fan on gamespot.com together.

The problem is that I don't know what kind of name this union should have.

I've been dying for something like this.  My big dream is to set up a full world war in OFP; schedule it a month away and have people choose their alliance:  East or West.  Would have to find a good neutral server someplace and custom-make a massive MP addon-free mission.

Anyway, name.  

International Association of Virtual Combat Soldiers?  IAVCS?

International Operation Flashpoint Alliance?  IOFA?

International Flashpoint Alliance? IFA?

International Center for Bohemia Interaction?  ICBI?

Or do you want something snappy like 'The Barracks'?

CentCom (Central Command)?

Flashpoint (as in point; location)?

Can't think of more snappy ones but I'm full of official-sounding names, like World Center for Virtual Combat, or WCVC.  

I will be sure to check it out and register as soon as it's available.

EDIT:

Just read the FAQ. Seems like a novel idea. Sounds like what Bioware did with Neverwinter Nights Guilds. I worry that people will simply make use of them as clan pages though. We should first DISCOURAGE OFP players from creating a 'Union' for their OFP squad. If this is truly an attempt to size up the OFP community then you have a massive task ahead of you. All pages will need to be multilingual and the forum... well, if it were used as gamespot seems to intend, will rival this one in sheer size. It seems that Gamespot is open to suggestions so we should come up with some collectively, then refer someone from there to this thread.

One would be... One Union per language, per game (perhaps mods too).

Soviet Union?

When WILL you reveal it?

I'm eager for news. Has the union been created yet? Does Gamespot even know exactly what they're doing yet?

Fill us in!
