I'm in a garth of cicadas

"We got a Garth and 2 Heavies moving through G7..."

Sounds alright

Or do we want to call it a Cicada swam? I was in a match where 4 Mechs were Cicada!. I'm not complaining, But I want to set up the name for this phenomena now.

I call it a wolfpack, regardless of what mechs are in it.

Unless there are a bunch of Bears in it; then it is called a rapetrain.

I don't know what to call it, but when you see it coming you should immediately yell over comms "ARRRRHHHGGGGHHH! THEY ARE COMING!!!! WE ARE ALL DOOM... oh, they're cicadas, I thought they were Jenners...nevermind."

Not sure about cicadas but multiple Fleas should definitely be a circus.

[Appogee]

I just bought a Cicada. So when you get this collective noun issue sorted, please tell me where I can amass with my swarm or clique or whatever it is.

Or a "Market."

[Nathan Foxbane]

I going to go with A Garth of Cicadas. Though I believe that Garth himself once referred to group of Cicadas as an "Armageddon" in this post. I spent 7 minutes looking for that post just to be sure I got it right! Applaud heathens!

In favor of Plague or Garth - good fun topic...

So we have some terms for other mechs in a group, can we go one step further and designate a term for specific chassis? Ie rather than a murder of ravens (which would apply to mixed chassis), could we call any amount of exclusively 3Ls a "Douche of Ravens"?

Spiders - Nest?
Hunchback - nothing comes to mind but someone out there must have a good one
Centurion - Legion?
Dragon - /sigh
Catapult - Bombardment?
Jagermechs - Dakka (a Dakka Of Jags)?
Cataphracts -no idea...

And so on...
