Or, rather, 'troper', which is even worse.

How about Team Force? A bit boring, but gets the point across.

Suggested and wrote this trope, but I'm not against a rename. I would have gone with "X Force", if that wasn't already a work. Something Force?

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I prefer Team Force over another placeholder. Team Force lets me know this is a trope about teams and organisations. It's still a bit clunky though so I'm open to more. I swear I have one on the tip of my tongue.

Yeah, "Team Force" is too clunky to fit the form of the trope.

None of these suggestions except Badass Force sounds particularly like a team name to me.

It's not a team name. Any organization counts. And Noun Force is good, since we have other tropes with that as a placeholder.

^ It's about the naming convention, not the organization itself.

What I meant was in response to a claim that this was about teams.

I think it's more The Egregious Trope-Man than Luke Nounverber, so Trope Force seems more appropriate than Noun Force. Then again, the title does seem a bit clunky.

I am not really sure if this needs a single proposition rename crowner or if we can go straight to alternative titles since this is such an old thread. Either way, I made a single proposition crowner just to be safe here. If I have approval to make an alternative titles one instead, I could do that as well.

I can see why having a single proposition crowner might give people some time to look at this trope again though.

So...can there be a crowner for new titles now?

Man, I hate to sound picky, but too many of these names make me think of a Phlebotinum-based physical force, rather than a team of people named The X Force.

Good point.

Call Them The Noun Force?

I would argue that it's not always a noun. X Force is an example after all and X is not a noun.

^ Line-of-dialogue title. Bad idea.

Placeholder Force, with a custom display of "[Placeholder] Force"?

Crowner called at +6 4 :1 in favor of The Something Force.

Remaining to be done:

  • The Main Page needs to be moved to the new name, and the old name made a redirect.
  • The associated pages need to be moved. That would be the discussion page. Holler for a mod to move it and the YKTTW link when the new page is made.
  • The wicks need to be corrected. All 30 of them.
  • It needs to be added to Renamed Tropes.

Crown Description:

Vote up names you like, vote down names you don't. Whether or not the title will actually be changed is determined with a different kind of crowner (the Single Proposition crowner). This one just collects and ranks alternative titles.
