I could probably get behind "Team Oranje."
Another idea: Team Fiets The possibility for Dutch/English puns would be tremendous. Yet another idea: Team Gruit (or Gruut) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Nice! I like Sinterklaas too, but... perhaps it's most relevant now in December? :-P
Looks like Oranje's popular. I had to look up what gruit was, but the beer reference is nice too. Edited by Hekje on 06 December 2013 at 6:21pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

More Dutch/English pun potential, of course, as we all persevere in our studies, showing true gruit. My vague understanding is that control over the supply of gruit was once so important as to define broad strokes of the Dutch economy. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't see why team spirit is less strong if we all choose the names here. Also, there have been actual discussions like "let's choose this name because it's short". As I said, this is the general tendency. I don't mind short names but then they should be a rule. As I said, exceptions are possible. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Sorry, I was on two great teams during this year and I liked how things were organized.
In 2013, we had 18 teams. How on Earth are you supposed to keep track of the names that have been proposed for your team when 18 teams are throwing in their suggestions into the same thread? Starting the team thread in December is actually good for organization. You can discuss the name, you get to know your team mates, you can create links to their logs. I don't know what's wrong about that. Furthermore, it's up to the teams to decide on their names. Most teams will go for a short, catchy name anyway, but I don't think it's good to make rules like "four letters tops". And if you find a good name that happens to have more letters, you should be able to choose it. As I have already said elsewhere: I understand the desire for efficient organization, but please don't exaggerate it!

Eventually there will be a poll on an external site.
Ugh, not everyone supports team Oranje :P Although I guess I won't have a full member status anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

As for team threads, they should be started by the leader only, which should be a member with the rights to post link and PM people. Only the person who started the thread has infinite editing rights in the log subforum.
