Name I voted beekeepers too, but only due to the lack of anything more interesting. The problem with picking a name is that in The Beast, we quickly latched on to something in game that stood out and we saw meaning in. So far I haven't read of seen anything in this one that stands out enough for us to latch on to. It may actually be a bit early to decide what kind of name makes sense.

Well, I'm glad to bee here (i am SO sorry about that....but its far too late to delete it now) I'm working at a library in Boston, and since the city is pretty much shut down for the DNC, i have 8 hours a day to do nothing but read these forums....'casue god knows if I miss one argument over the proper pluralization of a word, i'll be SO lost!

I like Apiguard, although that's a registered trade mark of a chemical company. It's a chemical that's being developed to treat Varroa Mite infections in bee hives. The sort Auntie M has in the real world.
We're banning together to hopefully treat the online infection that Auntie M is facing in her web site.
So something along those lines... From Greek, Api is bee, Aegis is guard
Apiegis
Seems appropriate for a lot of the mythology connected to this and Marathon.

How about just calling us The Twinggers (from "twing"). Simple yet weird. Subtle yet elegant. More importantly its true meaning is known only to us, the players. Kind of an inside joke if you will.
Dana will be proud.

It certainly looks like we're settling on Beekeepers, but I've found a term I thought was highly appropriate to our situation: Tiger Team.
Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_team
Just throwing it out there.
