Just for the sake of speeding this up, i decided to go ahead and create a poll with what i thought were the top 5 choices out of the few we thought up. I realize some of you might have a ton of great ideas, but i didn't want to wait around too long. People might start thinking an invite is never going to come. So i want to get the clan up and running asap so no one thinks i've forgotten about them.
The very last choice "The Prodigious Pineapple" is already the name of the casual GiantBomb clan. So choose that if you just want to keep it the same, and not worry about changing it. It shouldn't take any time at all to create a new clan, with the new name. So don't let that effect your choice. As soon as we decide on a name, i can have the clan created, and invites sent out in 10 minutes.
I figure i'll let this sit for 24 hours or so, and whichever has the most votes we'll go with. Then i'll send the invites out immediately after.

Casual Renaming Poll
"I think that Prodigious Pineapple is still better than the other choices."
I mean, it's better then just calling it "GiantBomb Clan 2" but doesn't "Prodigious Pineapple" simply mean "enormous" or "huge" Pineapple? I don't really get it. Maybe it's something way over my head, but i just don't get any amusement from basically saying "LARGE PINEAPPLE!"
Maybe if we were called "Huge Potato" that'd make more sense... Err, no it wouldn't.

Being prodigious makes it much richer, allowing for a more ironic and subjective way of saying "great" or "big".
And it has to be a Pineapple specifically. Bog didn't choose it because he likes the fruit, it's because it's another way of saying "bomb". A sort of slang, if you will.
Prodigious Pineapple is just another way of saying "Giant Bomb", but in a much more comedic way. Which suits the casual nature of our humble clan.
Prodigious Pineapple, simply for the reason that im in a group of that name. Whether its the actual clan or not i've no idea/ Either way, sign me up for whatever the outcome is.
"zitosilva said:Pineapple is slang for grenade. Maybe just explosives in general but I've only heard it used for a grenade. Which makes sense since they kinda look like pineapples."I think that Prodigious Pineapple is still better than the other choices."I mean, it's better then just calling it "GiantBomb Clan 2" but doesn't "Prodigious Pineapple" simply mean "enormous" or "huge" Pineapple?

"crunchUK said: Oh you are so witty.On Topic: Do you really think that people outside of the clan should vote? Because that is what's gonna happen."
Meh, i don't mind. I like getting outside opinion. And you never know, some of these "out of clan" people that are voting might eventually pick up Killzone 2 and decide to join us. Since that might be the case, everyone that's part of this community should feel free to cast their vote and express their opinion.

Ahh, ok. See, i knew i just wasn't getting it. Now that you explained, i remember hearing grenades and such reffered to as "pineapples." So yeah, that's actually pretty funny now that i'm in on it.
All inside jokes aside, since the casual clan will obviously not be as good as the super dedicated clans, I vote "probably drunk" that way we can tell our enemies immediately why they are kicking our ass while we just mess around.

Lol, yup. That's exactly what i was going for... We lose a match? Well, it's because "most" of us were probably drunk. =P
"Well, since i left it up for two days, and Prodigious Pineapple is tied. We'll just stick with that name.I'm going to write up everyone's PSN names, and send out invites asap. So check your in-game message box."So it just continue to be the same Prodigious Pineapple we have right now? The clan I'm in is the one that's going to be, right?

Yeah, if you are already in Prodigious Pineapple. Then you are fine. I'm going to invite the other people as soon as BoG gives me leadership, and i have the ability to invite.
"zitosilva said:BoG's in the other clan...he has no control of this one. O_o"MAST said:Yeah, if you are already in Prodigious Pineapple. Then you are fine.

"KaosAngel said:That makes no sense...I'm so confused. Bog was in the other one since last week...BoG's in the other clan...he has no control of this one. O_o"Errm. Well then i dunno who this guy is i've been PM'ing. His name is BoG in the PM, and he just recently sent me a PM saying that he transferred leadership to me. So unless it's an imposter..."
I'm so confused...I'm just gonna head over to school now.
