powersthatbeIt's come to the attention of us, your mods, that considering current events, providing the Tarot-themed Powers That Be who are currently playing synodporia with us a new official name that is anything but the 'Trumps' is probably a good idea, in the interest of keeping our pretendy funtimes fun. And honestly, right now, at the start of Round Three, we're at a really good place to do it ICly as well as OOCly.
So. Because of that, we're asking your input on the two main options for what we might do, as well as any other suggestions.
Option One: World Series Champions or Champs for short. This has the advantage of having a similar sort of sound to it, it reflects the 'World Series' that's going to begin with the event that's starting in the next few days, and it's actually been used by the Travelers in the past, as you can see if you check the IC introduction to Synodiporia.
Option Two: The Major Arcana, called either Majors or Arcana. This has the advantage of playing hard on the Tarot themes. It's also one that's been used by Travelers in the past--at least in the form of 'Arcana'--if not as often perhaps as 'Champs' or 'Trumps.'
(Likely, no matter which one we pick, we'd probably want rename 'Trump Marks' to 'Arcana Marks.')
In any case, we'd like everyone's feedback so we can figure out which one to go with.
EDITED TO ADD: We've had some questions about what this will mean ICly vs OOCly. OOCly, we'll be using the new terminology in official Syn stuff as your modteam. We will not force people to use the new terminology. ICly, we'll have a reason for people and their characters to adopt the terminology if they want, but again, we won't force people to use it.
