Great! That means that you like Croatian better than the other Slavic languages already
mentioned ;)

Lud is nice, and it is a actually a Slavic false friend - in Polish it means "folk"
(people).

Funny... That's what the Russian team told me about Russian :-) And those Czech people seem to think
Czech is pretty cool. And the Croatian team seem to like Croatian..... |

Absolutely astonishing :)

I'm not really a big fan of "lud", although its dual meaning makes it slightly more acceptable. :) Anyway, I still
like "Prieteni".

I really like "lud", especially for it's Polish meaning! I also really like "nebunie".

How about using Lud for team Croatian? It's not Romance...

You can propose it there, although the Croatian team seems to be feeling "great" and
"wonderful" rather than like "crazy folk".

I am posting this on the main sign-up thread and on all team logs.
This is a special announcement for all teams, certain ones more than others..
-The purpose of TAC teams is to support, help and encourage each other. “All for one and one for all.” That means reading each other’s logs, and commenting them where appropriate. It also means no more bickering.
- It the future all teams will be closed upon reaching 15 members, and new teams will be formed for those languages. Should a new team only attract a few members (about 5-7 depending on the team members prior TAC experience) by the sign-up deadline (31. January 2013), they will be merged with the original team. If in the course of the year, the teams lose half their members, they may also choose to merge. Any team that already has more than 15 members will not be divided, but they will not be allowed to add new members.
- Each team is to choose a team leader by Tuesday, 18 December. Inform me of your choice by then. The leader must have prior TAC experience unless there is no such person on the team. The leader is to keep me up-to-date regarding their team.
- I have created a French team and a Spanish team. Anyone studying those languages may choose to join them if they wish. The original Romance teams will remain in existence for those who are studying other Romance languages or who are interested in multiple languages. Note that even if you are only studying French or Spanish you may choose to be on a Romance team rather than a single language team. If there is enough interest for an Italian, Portuguese or Romanian team, I will create one. However, I would like those who may be interested in such a team to gather at least 5 team members before asking me to form the team.
I am sorry to have to make these additional rules, however it is obvious that certain teams are already on the verge of falling apart and a number of more experienced TAC members have noticed this and sent me PM’s requesting that I do something.

I nominate Serpent to be the leader.
I have created a poll for a poll here to decide a team name. You can vote for more than one, but please only vote once. :)
