Hmm, my players never get around to making up team names (or making a team
karma pool for that matter *phew*), but we do end up twisting other
characters' names around, such as

BowelRaker the Troll Archer ---> BowelMovement
Hambone the ork vodoun ---> Hamboner,Drekface
Nemisis ---> Batboy, Ninjaboy
Kalcanlar the Obseideonman Troubador --> Kal-Can
Rathbone ---> Ratboner

I guess it's just the way we "initiate" new players. *grin*

You mean Obsidman?

Hmmm... ED=~7200 BC (or something like that... The figure was somewhere around
here...) SR 50-2057(so far)

Actually I've heard that ED is something like 5000 BC unfortunatly that
dosn't work since Jerico (the oldest know human settlement) is 8000 years
old (or 6000 BC), of course I could be remembering wrong.

Actually it is all based on the Myan (sp?) Calendar, I have all
the 'supposidly' exact dates at home, if I remember I post them soon.

Actually, there's older known settlements than Jericho. Just for the
record. Catal Huyuk (sp?) in what would later be the northern Babylonian
empire, for one.
And if I'm remembering my Ancient History wrong, let me know, but I'm sure
a lot of people would appreciate it being done off the list. :)
