I&#039;d like to preface this with as Ralphis stated arguing about this is like arguing about don&#039;t ask don&#039;t tell, however since the player base cares, they should be given what they want. Especially since one, this is a niche market, two it has no real effect on the outcome of the game, and three it makes the league more unique. <br /><br />Personally my opinion is that captains/teams should be able to declare there own names. <br /><br />For instance, &#039;if my memory is correct&#039; Chaindude&nbsp; came up with BSK &#039;Beserker Packers&#039;. This name was creative in the fact that it has Doom and NFL origins and the final game in this league is the Masterbowl vs the Superbowl. In the NFL as Fast stated, coaches, management and team names don&#039;t change often but this isnt the NFL its doom. Plus in doom,&nbsp; its just not cool to keep the same fucking names. I hear cries about vulgar names etc...which my only response is its the internet get over it. I mean really at the end of the day there is so much vulgarity and racism amongst other things that not only is it a fulltime job to police but its just background noise at a certain point. I hear people make out of line comments all the time, on the internet, but these same people wouldn&#039;t dare say what they say on here in person. To me the IDL isn&#039;t some god damn poster child example for character, proper grammar , and politically correct naming schemes. Its where people come to compete with the best doomers in the world. Honestly I would let people choose there own names, if someone is retarded enough to pick names like nigger this, spic that, or gay fag etc... simply reject the name.&nbsp; Yeah I know its contradictory, and it impedes on your first amendment rights but adapt and be more thoughtful and subliminal if you want to perpetuate such things. Even though my team TMNT wasn&#039;t successful, the name remains and it even had a cool theme. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHtMp-40BQ4<br /><br />At the end of the day I think the names should follow the captains, if the captain wants to change the name let them. I honestly think chaindude chose the name not just because of the beserks in doom and the nfl packers, but I think at the time his lineup was just that some mofo beserker packers. <br /><br />just like clan names, let the shit be unique, this aint football, its doom<br /><br />[DX] one of the most dominant clans for 2 to 3 years, dominated with a similar attitude of that of the wrestling team by doing w/e they wanted and telling people to &#039;suck it&#039; <br /><br />[SIN] players had names according to probably not only their character but also related back to the clan name Hatred, Rage, Gluttony etc.... SIN will always be one of the coolest names a clan could have<br /><br />[R]enegades 1: a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another 2: an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior ......that about sums it up<br /><br />[NS] originally new schoolers, was from what I could tell a shitload of one on one talent playing on servers with dmflags and dmflags2 geared toward what I would call new school attributes, such as mouse look <br /><br />[OS] Vice versa to [NS]<br /><br />[TC] This is one of my favorites, Total Control. Yes we know Natural and Dalek hacked amongst others, but god damn until DX dominated them weren&#039;t they undefeated in 3 on 3 ctf? Basically Nat Dalek and anyone else with a [TC] tag. <br /><br />So I merely listed those out so I can prove my point, SPE Spread Eagles, which anywhere in the world means have some good sex with a womens legs spread wide open like an eagles wings. Yeah sign me up, I really like this team it says alot about my character and ability to dominate you in doom, I like it so much.......its a fucking bore let the captain choose the name. If anything Its probably best to just compromise and provide some guidelines for team naming to the captains.
