[Shanty Man]

There's team Peregrine, http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0670.html, team Harrier, http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0705.html, and what else?
Also do you think they are all names after birds of pray? (I'm looking forward to team Kestrel).

[Snake-Aes]

Team caracara is going to eat everyone's heads off!

[Draconi Redfir]

I think they might be named after OBSCURE bird's of prey...
I mean, Eagle, Hawk, Falcon and so forth; they are not only common but seem kind of boring and cliche'...

Harrier, Peregrine on the other hand are far less common bird names, most would not recognize them... as such they seem more cool and dynamic

so i might expect Osprey, kestrel and Caracara...
maybe kite and buzzard, since they don't sound as birdish



As for how many teams... depends on the levels... if we are looking at lv10ish teams... then i think 5 would be a good number, as lv 10's can do a lot of damage in a city mostly populated by low levels; fighting guerilla style they be very difficult to stop and might have access to "raise dead"... but if we looking at more like levels 5-10, then i got no guesses...

[hamishspence]

Maybe the whole force (comprising multiple teams) will have a name expressing the theme as a whole.

Like "Raptor Army" or "Elven Liberation Force Raptor" or something similar.

i thought a Peregrine was a fruit TBH.

[Asta Kask]

Team Millenium Falcon will rock the city.

[slayerx]

Ya it becomes very recognizable if you refer to it as "Peregrine Falcon"

[ThePhantasm]

There must be eleven elven teams.

Because "eleven" is "elven" with an extra "e".

There must be eleven elven teams.

That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. (Cookie for the first recognizer)

I'm guessing maybe one or two more, but who knows? Rich loves to surprise us.

[BatRobin]

It's obviously the Elven Liberation Force.

E.L.F. ftw.

[ThePhantasm]

That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. (Cookie for the first recognizer)

Don't recognize. But I also was aiming more for "clever" than "LOLZ".

[Axl_Rose]

Also do you think they are all names after birds of pray? (I'm looking forward to team Kestrel).

I pray that's not a coincidence.

[Ranger Mattos]

I'm not sure how many, but I'm looking forward to seeing Team Hobby.

[Geno9999]

KINGDOM OF LOATHING!!!

Also, a vote for a Osprey team.

[Starscream]

I think they might be named after OBSCURE bird's of prey...

So not Oracle, Huntress and Black Canary then? We're talking more like Zinda and Savant?

Sorry, I've been reading that recently.

[ref]

Geno9999 gets a cookie. :)

[Deca]

Team Whippet?

[Asta Kask]

Team Teratornis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teratornis)? With 12' tall elves!

[LuisDantas]

I would expect the Teams to all have one-word, short names that are easily recognizable and told apart from each other. That's because they are apparently an Elven version of a spelling alphabet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_alphabet) to some degree, in that they must be easy to use by reflex in combat and/or stressful situations.

There are probably about a half dozen (named) teams at most, more likely three or four. Much more than that makes military coordination tricky and troublesome. Some of them could well be more manned (well, elvened, I guess) than these two covert ops teams that we have seen so far.

As for the names, after Peregrine and Harrier, the others will probably resemble combat aircraft and/or birds of prey as well. Then again, we met Peregrine coming from far away all of a sudden, and Harrier watching attently from the top of a building, so there seems to be a situational theme operating here. We might have a Team Shark coming from the sea, for instance.

[Bongos]

Belkar and I are waiting for the arrival of Team Tits and Team Boobies.

[rewinn]

They wouldn't need more than one, if it was Team O-Chul.

[Crusher99333]

Team Chicken Hawk. Little guys with a beeeeg attitude.

All of Belkar's relatives

[Rinquist]

Belkar and I are waiting for the arrival of Team Tits and Team Boobies.

I was waiting for that. Or Team Nuthatch, or Team Woodpecker, or Team Rooster.

Wait, I messed that last one up...

[Herald Alberich]

Team Teratornis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teratornis)? With 12' tall elves!

Or Team Haast's Eagle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haast's_eagle), but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
