Non-Proposal: Demonyms

I’ve used up all my proposals today. Anyone who hasn’t could post this.

Add a rule titled “Demonym” to faction MIC’s ruleset:

A Citizen of the People’s Republic of Mic may be referred to as a Micese.

Add a rule titled “Demonym” to faction GNO’s ruleset:

A Citizen of the Holy GNOmish Empire may be referred to as a Gnomiard.

Not quite sure about GNO’s demonym. Any suggestions?

Add a rule titled “Demonym” to faction BLO’s ruleset:

A Citizen of Blo may be referred to as a Pufferfish.

GNO = Gnostician??

Yeah, but I’m basing it off of “GNOmish”, by analogy with Spanish = Spaniard. Hmm. English = Englishman. Maybe Gnomishman?

Or maybe Scottish = Scotsman. Therefore, I could use Gnomsman.

MIC => Maw ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi'kmaq)

GNO is the acronym for “Greater New Orleans”, so someone from GNO should be a Yat.  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yat_dialect )

Someone from Oslo is an Oslovian, so by analogy, someone from BLO is a Blovian.

Someone from Buffalo is a Buffalonian, so that would give us Blonian.

I kind of like “pufferfish” better than “blovian”.

Or “blonian”.

I like Gnomiard and Pufferfish. For Mic, I’d prefer Mician, as in Phoenician.

Gnomsman is hilarious. I vote for that.

On the other hand, members of the Holy Roman Empire were….Germans.

So maybe members of the Holy Gnomish Empire should be…the Dutch.

I’m all for the Pufferfish.

Oze: For Mic, I chose Micese because Mic is a parody of China.
