If you had a Western gang what would you call it? I like The Wild Bunch but two gangs used that. ALV |

I've found it helpful to look at an Atlas of the US, & name a gang after a particularly lyrical place name. Hence – The Beaver Lick Outfit. |

Ravenscraft, that is exactly how I like my cats too! With cheese! My own gang would be either The Pilgrims. I'm from New England after all. Plus, it adds an irony since we would not be on a pilgrimage and would be far less than Holy. However, one of my Traveller 'western world' gangs was known as "Miss Kitty's Posse". You say it fast and you'll understand the juvenile people that I play Traveller with. LOL to the Brokeback Mountain Boys! Funny! |

Two local ones that I have read about from the 1870s are the SHinebone valley Boys and the Marble Valley Boys. They both joined CSA units in the same company in mass. They continued to hang around together after the war and raise a ruckus. |

The Hunnerd Proof Gang; Blackbush Mills, Jose Quervo, Pierre Smirnoff, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, the Walker Brothers Johnny & Hiram, & the Indian renegades Wild Turkey & Old Crow make up this band of desperados. I also have the Long Dong Tong for San Francisco. |

Wow!A lot of good ones in there. I especially like Norman D's idea with the place names. Los Ninos de Muerto is a great name for a bandidos gang. Alas I have none to call that at the moment. Thanks. ALV |

<The broke back mountain boys> Is that the gang where the men hang about in chaps? |
| Woolshed Wargamer | 29 May 2009 3:51 p.m. PST |
My RWNN gang is called The O'Hooligan Gang. |

My outlaws are the Crane Gang, my Apaches are Skinya's War Party (Real Apache name!!!) |

One of the guys in the group had an outlaw gang named the Sundown Gang. However, when the posse leader was killed, another character named Bull Tucker took over the gang. He then changed the name to the Bullrun gang, which I thought wa awesome. |

Slade's Myrmidons (A name not of my own devising, though; Taken directly from Mark Twain's Roughing It.) |
 mmitchell | 31 May 2009 12:04 a.m. PST |
GWNN: Great idea! Would you mind if I used some of these for one of my "Marshal Mitchell's Hotlists" over at the Hawgleg Website? Mike |
| coryfromMissoula | 01 Jun 2009 10:31 a.m. PST |
I come from a long line of folks who believed in enforcing the law themselves and so tend to favor the old gangs; Little Blackfoot Brands Society Catlemen's Branding Society Flint Creek Peace and Betterment League |
| Mr Brightside | 06 Jun 2009 6:10 p.m. PST |
mmitchell, not a bit. I agree lots of great names in there. Bullrun gang is good. Sound like a pack o' yankees to me. |

One of my tongs is named for a Chinese secret martial society made up of women. The Red Lanterns. They even run a boarding house & laundry in my town. My Pinketons are Captain Morgan, McNaughton, Jim Beam, the Walkers Hiram & two Johnnys Red & Black, Jack Danials, and an English dandy named Sir Sydney Barnett. Some Mexicans Juan & Jose Quervo, Suasa, Pepe Lopez, Pancho Villa, & of course Two Fingers. My Indians Old Crow & Wild Turky are accompanied by Red Eye. And I have a mountain man named Yukon Jack. |
