The only thing about using "plague" for cicadas would be the fact that there is already a Locust mech in BT.

Please kill it with FIRE.

Edit: If it has JJ, I would so pilot it.

My fave Cicada is a Cicada-3C MGs and Flamer. :angry:

I am a Cicada pilot. I'm going let you know what it ought to be. :(

A LANCE of Cicada is a QUARTET.

A COMPANY of Cicada is a CHOIR.

A BATTALION of Cicada is a CHORUS.



If I had to choose one group name. I'd call it a choir or the choir.

A Garth of Cicada's.

Isn't it "Garth" that runs these and also started a whole topic recently asking us for camo ideas for his?

Paul's into pink so,

an Inouye of Highlanders.

Just thinking logically out loud.

I had heard it was a Murder of Crows, while a bunch of ravens is called an "Unkindness". LOL. An Unkindness Of Ravens. :angry:

FTL:
What to Call Bunches of Birds
From James Lipton's wonderful An Exaltation of Larks)

“ostentation” of peacocks
“murder” of crows
“colony” of penguins

“charm” of finches
“unkindness” of ravens
“stand” of flamingos
...

Oh, and I am partial to "Swarm" myself.

Brood of Cicadas seems most appropriate to me.
You're only supposed to use one every 12 or 17 years tho. :angry:

Ravens have 3 possible group names apparently: Constable, Unkindness, Conspiracy.
If I saw 4+ ravens on an enemy team, I'd definitely consider it a conspiracy...

We need to do this for the Highlander. Then we can have a constipation of Highlanders because they are both slow and pink (pepto reference).

Brood does make a group of them sound intimidating.

EDIT- A group of highlanders is a MacCloud! Duncan also works.... *Wanders off and watches Highlander*
