W-Three

I want to take this opportunity to bring up the name thing again, as no one has provided a reasonable reason why.

Lets compare it to the other movements: P.E.A.K Offensive, and D.R.A.I.N movement. Peak is about mountains and the name relates, as does drain. T.I.D.O.Wave, however is different. Its a play on the word tidal-wave, it would seem, which when compared to the other names, makes no sense. It would seem the only reason to have it as such is to fit it in with the hack picture. A play on T.I.D.O.O (Tagruato is destroying our oceans).

Also, you compare it to the others: Peak offensive and drain movement, now wave could be similar to that, but then the TIDO is left by itself.

So to me, the name is a very strange and muddled one.

"tidowave" sounds "engrish" enough, and the target a japanese corporation...

Who says an environmental organisation needs a logical name anyway:
GreenPeace sounds like vegetables and Bellona (a Norwegian based organization which work with nuclear waste in northern Russia on behalf of the EU) is named after a roman goddess...

Tidowave is a play on the word Tidal wave. Tagruato is Destroying Oceans fits the acronym perfectly. I wouldn't invest anything more into the name. Another thing that just occurred to me: Ti Do...like in musical modes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_musical_modes.

Edit: Never mind the musical mode business.. It ain't Ti Do but Si Do.

So far the comments i posted as greenbear and nicfacer, or whatever that guys name was, have not been posted. So, if they don't approve them ever, it probably means those names are IG characters and we should look out for their comments. As For T.I.D.O.wave And P.E.A.K, and D.R.A.I.N, The reason for these names seems to be that they associate with the type of movement that they are supporting at the time. What the letters actually stand for seems Inconsequential, They could stand for the animal names from the hack pic. I can think of only two companies whose names were acronyms and the letters didn't stand for anything(I couldn't find what they stood for anyway, so if you know please correct me). T.U.M.E from liberty city stories was like a construction company and H.A.L. labs from 2001 a space oddyssey. I'm sure there's more examples, where the word play is more important then the definition.

Also the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D in undercover brother

Also H.A.R.M. from the game no one lives forever
