Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't popular meaning more people suggested it...

Here is what I came up with going over this thread, I will list the ones that got more then 1 suggestion and sorry if I missed any.

The Pack - 5 votes

Howlers - 5 votes

Moonstruck - 2 votes (voting against or mentioning it is not a vote for it)

Wolfkin - 2 votes

Lunatics - 2 votes

Please let the fans be the judge, that is what I thought this was for anyway

I fixed it.

No problem, but is there anyway you can start the poll over since people only had to choose between the ones that we're on there it seems a bit unfair since votes we're already cast.

A Re-Vote is very much in order I think, since those votes were made without,(potentially prefered), options available.

Well, although it was I who suggested Lunatics, I voted for The Pack. It just works better. I don't think anyone will confuse this with the gang from Gargoyles, given that this'll be at the end of a movie that has nothing to do with Gargoyles or, presumably, Disney.

Of course, if Duckies was an option, that would get my vote...

Odd....I tried to restart the poll but all it did was add options... strange. I'll try again.

I don't think so either, at least that isn't what I thought of when I saw it.

I think "Howlers" is a better name for werewolf fans in general, but if only used with and associated with this film "The Pack" works good for describing the fans and people that have given input towards the film ^..^

I still voted for The Pack,i don;t see anything wrong with it.

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 3:42 pm

Lets make this a bit more interesting.

Why not also list the screen names.

Like this.....

"Thanks to the "The pack" for thier encouragement and wonderful ideas."

In alphabetical order
(list of all forum members goes here.)

Not our real names. Just the nickname.
What do you guys think?

I think a decision like that is best made by the director and producer, and asking for it is getting greedy. We've already been indulged an awful lot as it is.

Nevermind.

Not that it matters anyways. Unless you yell out...

"Wait!!" "Don't everyone leave!!" "Check out the credits at the end!!"

Just trying to make it easier for people to know who "The pack" is.

Unless Duckies wins the vote.

No it's fine, but if someone said to you that he was part of "The Pack" and you had no idea what do you think he was part of... sounds more like a gang to me, if it's just used as a term in the credits of the movie it's fine but like said trying to use it as a name for werewolf fans in general I think most people wouldn't have a clue what "The Pack" was.

Howlers is a better werewolf fan name in general because if you asked someone what they associate howling with most of them would say wolves, so if someone said they we're a "Howler" they would probably think about wolves... maybe not all of them would think werewolves but wolves is close enough

But if it is just for the purpose of calling out a specific group in the credits I think "The Pack" works nicely for that and pretty much only that though.

Vuldari · Post by **Vuldari** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 7:02 pm

Duckies!!!!

I never took that as a serious option before, but...
...I love it. It does not make any sense at all, but I don't care. Let the audience be copletely befuddled. If they don't know who the "duckies" are, they dont need to know.

I vote DUCKIES.

LoupGarou · Post by **LoupGarou** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 7:03 pm

Ah that makes sense,hmm...well i guess i'm for either The Pack or the Howlers,i already voted though.

ShadowFang · Post by **ShadowFang** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 4:41 am

Grr...that "Duckies" option is screwing up the poll. Suppose that should win? Then what?

(and no, the werewolves will NOT be calling themselves "duckies")

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 5:45 am

74 registered users and only 14 votes. Talk about non-participation.

Lets go duckies!!!

Xodiac · Post by **Xodiac** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 5:52 am

I think it'd be cool if we were called something completely incongruous, something only the insiders understood.

Werewolf · Post by **Werewolf** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 9:00 am

Well this poll turned into a big farce, way to go

Talk about a good idea turned bad

This is not a poll for what the Werewolves in the movie will call themselves. This is a poll for what WE, the patrons of this forum, will call ourselves, and be thanked by name as in the closing credits of the movie.

EX:
And Very special Thanks to the "(insert winning name here)" at the www.calypso-blue.com/werewolf forums for all your great input.

What farce? I'm serious. I think it would be fun to call ourselves the "duckies".

Come on. A healthy sense of humor is good for you.

It's a funny name and it was funny to mention it, but I don't find it humorous in the least for werewolf fans to be called "Duckies"... there is no way I would want to be called that being a diehard werewolf fan, which I am

:shock:...You are taking this WAY too seriously.

Honestly, "The Pack" makes soo much sense that it does not feel creative or interesting at all. Where is the fun in that?

...personally, I would rather be remembered as someone who was not so stiff and serious, but rather, foolishly enthusiastic about the genre I love.

Werewolf · Post by **Werewolf** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 2:56 pm

Being creative is one thing, but that name makes no sense at all... it should make a little sense even if only the by slightest related to it's subject.

I agree "The Pack" is a bit general and I've said that, maybe I am being a bit too serious but I would really like the name to best reflect werewolf fans is that so wrong?

If you want something cute and funny how about "Cubbies" or "Tail Chasers", I'm all for being creative but picking a random funny name for something that really doesn't fit what it is intended for is not being creative at all... it would be me going up to someone named Tom and calling him Dave

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:21 pm

Hmmmmmm..........With all this input from us on "What should a werewolf be?" What kind of improvments can be made if they decide to do a sequel?

Wrong?...absolutely not. That is perfectly reasonalble.

As for the Tom/Dave comment...

I am a man with a long curly ponytail and a small frame. People come up behind me all the time and, assuming I am a woman, say ,"excuse me...maam...". I am not insulted by this, or find it annoying at all. At the end of the day, I just smile and laugh about it. The joke brightens my day.

In the end, the majority vote will win, and "the pack" is leading 2 to 1, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

The rest of us have a right to "stick a feather in our hats and call it macaroni", if we really want to.

What do you want the name of the die-hard fans to be called?
