This here is the reason why I didn't vote for it to be the FC name. I don't even know what the joke is, and to be fair and honest I'd rather see something else for the FC name.


It only truly makes sense if you know your 80s music.

I'm not a fan of having the FC be the same name as the LS for one very simple reason. It's an in-joke.

Linkshell names can be whatever.. but the Free Company name is the outward-facing front of the group. Karma Zameleons makes absolutely no sense without already knowing what Zam is and how it works. Whether stated or not, part of the function of a group like this is to increase the size of its own community, and that's hard when it's not really identifiable.


Initially I had really wanted it to be Karma Zameleons, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it needed to be changed. I just think the FC should have a name that is different from the LS. I think it's ok to have a silly FC name if that's what we wanted, but I think it should be unique. I mean to be fair, no one outside our community is really going to identify with ZAM, Allakhazam, or KAZAM either unless they already know what this site is.

I vote for Zam. It should be something that correlates closely to the website so that folks interested in joining post-launch do not get confused.
