Faction Plural Nouns

[Kat]

It's been proposed before that the correct plural noun for a group of FedSunners is a "blessing." (Though others contend that is is, in fact, a "curse.") It seems to me that there should be such nouns for other factions, as well, so I started making a list. Falchion is responsible for at least half of it.

Fed Suns - a blessing/curse
Lyrans - a gross
Free Worlds - a parliament
Capellans - a working party
Combine - a ******

ComStar - a conspiracy
WoB - a scourge
RotS - a derangement
Clans (general) - a horde
Mercs - a billfold

Outworlds - a hayseed
Taurians - a paranoia
Canopians - an orgy
Marians - a fiddle

Rim Worlds - a bastard
Star League - a gilding

And last, but not least, a [REDACTED] of Wolverines.

I prefer "a waste of Clanners" or perhaps...no, that's rude.

I am giggling madly at "a ****** of Kuritans," though.

Well, that could be a special-instance plural noun. A waste of Clanners would be all the ones who have sit around twiddling their thumbs because they weren't bid into the battle.  ;)

Dominions- a huddle?
Nova Cats- a dream

a ******? Really?  :o

[Kitsune413]

Would snow ravens still count as a murder?

Are Shark Foxes a shiver or a skulk?

Huddles are penguins, aren't they? Are bears called that, too?

+1 for the Nova Cats, though.

Would snow ravens still count as a murder?

A group of ravens is an unkindness. Crows are a murder.

Are Shark Foxes a shiver or a skulk?

Neither, they come in wholesale.

Looks like I missed a faction.

FRR - a footnote

FRR - a footnote

I dunno, sounds more like it should be a footnote of Tikonov Republicans.

Although there's one begging to be used.. its just a question of on whom.

A fiat of Dragoons?  A fiat of Kell Hounds?

Maybe they can share, the way so many animals come in herds.

Oh, but that's too easy.

I'd say a group of Dragoons is an intrusion. Like cockroaches.  ;D

[ColBosch]

So an Incursion of Falcons?

I thought you said "an Incursion of Falchions" for a second.  Both seem accurate.

A Hemorrhaging of Blood Spirits?

A Hemorrhaging of Blood Spirits?

A Dearth of Blood Spirits, just to really confuse people. "Watch out, there's a Dearth of Blood Spirits coming!" "Um...so?" "I mean lots of them!"

[rebs]

Neither, they come in wholesale.

That's not exactly fair in all instances!  Some of us like to be known as "installment plans", while others want to be called by their given name, and that's "You're the customer, but we still know your price."

I had to look up what the hell a "******" was.    >:(

[Tai Dai Cultist]

I did too.. and I don't approve.

That's not to say it isn't funny...

[GreenDragon]

A [CENSORED BY ORDER OF THE PRIMUS] of ComGuards

[Amaris Fan Club]

Let's not forget the wonderful peoples of the periphery ... some suggestions:

A Megaton of Taurians?
A Frenzy of Rim Worlders?
A Whore Lot of Canopians?
A Birdfeeder of Outwworlders?

And of course, a Maid of Marians!
