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.

oh god...

cicadas nothing wrong them,
easy to kill,

Not saying they are bad or anything. Just that a lot of them need a name.

Multiple Ravens= A murder
Multiple Jenners = A Bruce
Multiple Cicadas= A swarm or a Plague?

Dunno. I see a lot of matches where for some reason there's either a high number of lights, or a low number of them. I've seen a few more Cicadas lately, maybe. Haven't noted if they were 3Ms or not, but they probably were.

I killed two Ravens last night in one match. Had to pinch myself.

Cicadas are amazing, the more the better.

The matchmaker must have read the news: http://newyork.cbslo...onth-long-stay/

A plague sounds about right and might I also propose a collective name for small fast mechs in general? A zerg.

A Paul would work! Fits with a Bruce of Jenners.

I thought this was already the case?

A swarm (gathering) of Locusts (which is the colloquial term for cicadas - almost all biblical or ancient locust swarm stories can be attributed to interstitial cicada breeding cycles) is called a "plague" in the same way a gathering of crows is a "murder".

Fixed the raven bit for you.

Plague of Cicadas is the way to go.

[Thundercles]

I believe the word is "brood".

For more information on when and where you'll need to equip weaponry to squash fast-movers, there's always this place.


EDIT: Also, it looks like Belorion beat me to the punch.

Thank you for this. SO now a Brood is added to the possible names.

I should make a poll for this!

[MADSix]

I also think Brood seems to be appropriate. That or Swarm.

The option of Neko in a Dress is an Old time honored TT Forum poll option. It is not, I repeat, NOT aimed at our Mod.
