You may put your nominations here for the "It's All In A Name" contest – what should the new lifetime honorary memberships (or members) be called? Nominations will be accepted until Thursday at 11am PST. |
| Hyun of WeeToySoldiers | 22 Aug 2005 10:02 a.m. PST |
TMPilfers (sounds better than TMPlifers) TeMPlars. Temps. The Empers (abbreviated TMPRs). |
| Daryl G | 22 Aug 2005 10:04 a.m. PST |
Will members be able to contest why those nominated should NOT be given an honorary membership? |
| nycjadie | 22 Aug 2005 10:06 a.m. PST |
Oy. I'm not going there. How about The Grognards. |

[Will members be able to contest why those nominated should NOT be given an honorary membership?] In the case of those voted by the membership (which I envision to be the majority of the honored ones) – sure, why not. In the case of any that I grant using my dictatorial-like Editor powers, no. |

I like "The Grognards" also… Or the TMP Lifetime Achievement Award (TMPLAA). If you say that abbreviation fast it sounds like "Templar" (i.e. temp-laa). So "The Templars", as above… Later,

Grognards is good and simple. I was going to suggest it, but
instead I'll just echo nycjadie's suggestion. |

Notice the sudden bad smell as you scroll down the page? Anyway, back to the topic, how about the Don Quixotes? |

Or perhaps even better, seeing that it is a word that has it's origins in Roman Military Tradition, I suggest; 'Emeritus', .. or it's plural as it has the meaning of 'a soldier who has served his time honourably' and in the modern context it is a reward for faithful academic study from Universities.
It has a duality of meaning that I think would really suit the honourary inductees. Viv |

How about "The Guard" – applies to multiple genres and periods. Then a nice TMP logo for them – perhaps a green patch with some gold leaves? @Wolfslair: Phthbbt! |

My first reaction was "the Immortals", which Prince Prints has already suggested. So I'll second him. |

Not Grognard. Get something everybody can pronounce the first time— I second "the Old Guard." Even if you don't know the origin, it immediately connotates experience. |

Well you could go the British Army way and call the last of the old guard the "Pensioners" But probably better to say: Companions
or
Triari Both imply experience and ability. |
