блины sounds good.

Some more suggestions:

When I'm thinking of Russian I always associate it with coldness or something like that, so what about:

снег (snow)
Сибирь (Siberia)

My suggestion is мёд (honey), but блины sounds very tasty too :).

Мёд слаще. What about блины с мёдом then?

I think we should stick to something shorter like мёд (honey) or снег (snow).

The thing is, pretty much every country has снег or мёд. The name should be distinctly
Russian. Does anyone know the Russian for 'Angry Babooshkas?"

Whenever I'm on the bus theres always an angry babooshka causing trouble. I've never seen
resilience like a 70 year old, old biddy on an aftobus. I think we could take them as our
mascot/team name to remind us to be keep our chin up during difficult study days,

As for length - you could abbreviate the name in your log.

EDIT: welcome, riff!

Hi! I see that you are active and enthusiastic, so I think you actually do have a chance of surviving as a separate team. I would however like to offer you the opportunity to join team Mir if you would like to. It would mean that we would be a really huge team, but I think we could cope.

It is a decision which would have to be made at team level though, because if two of you want to join team Mir and the rest of you want to stay, I would only have contributed to weaken team 2, and there is no way I want to do that. So either through discussions here on the thread, or through PMs, you would need to let me know whether you think it would be nice to have your own team, or whether you would like to join team Mir all of you.

The advantages of a small team is that you can get to know each other better, you can run things your own way, and you can have a friendly competition with team Mir.

The advantage of joining us is that we are a very vibrant and well functioning team, with a nice mix of experienced TACers and a wide variety of levels, and we are so big that there is no way that the team will fall apart. We also have no less than 4 members who have won previous TACs so we have a lot to contribute with. Not to mention that we are the coolest and most innovative team - which of course comes from us studying the coolest of all languages - Russian:-)

It goes without saying, that whichever solution you chose, you will be considered as part of the greater sister/brotherhood of Russian students, and are welcome to contribute in our thread, should you chose to stay on as a second team.

Just let me know before the clock strikes 12 tomorrow evening what you chose.

In the mean time I wish you a Happy New Year, and lots of Russian in the year to come!

You forgot to specify which "12." What country is your clock in? Or are you going with GMT?

:-D
