Acronyms
Well what do people think the 'supposed' hypothetical Virus, MadCows, Olympians acronym shud be.
I see someone else has decided to tag it [VIMP] but I think that is stupid as it doesn't contain a reference to Olympians unless the MP at the end is seen as a connection to the MP in olyMPians which is rather weak
I personally think [VOM] is the simplest and the best
although [MOV] is also simple it doesn't sound as active as [VOM]
Being more complicated
[OlyVir] sound like a name (Oliver) which is always handy and easy to remember but unfortunately it contains no reference to Madcows.
So maybe it could be [MOlyVir] instead.
Anyway I was bored - be interested to see what other suggests...I particularly dont want silly [VIMP] to be adopted by default!

Sorry - u may have decided - but in my eyes that aint an anacronym...
you can't just take letters at random out of one of the alliance names to make it sound weird. No one would have a clue what the hell [VIMP] is!
[VOM] is what I will call it - if it exists ofc

Sometimes, its actually easier to pronounce the whole word than to say it's arconym. Ironic isn't it? Kinda like making abbreviations for abbreviations... well not really.
Hmmm... I'm second guessing myself in a middle of a reply, oh well - too lazy to erase it.

I've stuck with VOMit ever since I heard about their powerblock. It has such a nice ring to it.

VIMP or
VOMIT will probably both do very well.
No doubt the enemies will use those two a lot and since an alliance block name is allways most likely to be used most by its enemies ...
I can think of some poor ones too like VOLM or MaViOly (Hmm, that last one kind of sounds nice though)

Indeed, Ravioli is sooooo good.
Maybe I should make some right now. :-D
In my experience, they will be called whatever the majority of people call them(looks like Mov or Vom or summat) until they tag.
Then whatever they tag is what sticks.
FoS was misc until it tagged, par example
