Hurr durr.

I'm thinking but it isn't going well.

You could call them The Base, because then you'd be referring to Al-Qaeda. Which would be subtle social commentary and I'll shut up now because this isn't going anywhere.

The Crazy 88! Even if there aren't 88 of them.

On topic: The collective, the Swarm, the band of blood, something along those lines.

Risers, self righteous type of group that is doing the world a favor. We are the risers and destroy the meek to further are own agenda type.

Dredgers, for the Fallout 3 and borderlands style group. I don't like putting the in front of these types of groups but there doesn't seem like any other way.

So i'm in the middle of writing a novel and i've become stuck, I need a name for the "bad guys" and they are a gang. Think along the lines of raiders or something like that.


Also, how awful is the name of that new movie "The Crazies", I know I am stuck with names but come on they must have had months to think of a good title.
The Arks

Ok i was watching indiana jones the other day, and well you said raiders and raiders of the lost ark came into my head lol.

If they are supposed to be insane, I would suggest something that reflects that, like "The Loonies", or "The Smileys" (Why yes, I do like Rockstar Games, how could you tell?)

However, if they are instead just violent sociopaths, I personally like the name "Reavers." Not like an official name, just a nickname given to them by others.

I'd recommend a mad-lib style "The {adjective} {noun(s)}", something like:

The Red Fist
The Iron Breakers
The Bone Cutters
The Broken Circle
The Skull Fuckers

Or a descriptive made-up noun like:

Cutters (I think it's reasonably assured that they cut people regularly)
Scabbies (if they're mutated by the plague and have massive oozing sores or something)
Flameheads (maybe they've got a thing for fire)

EDIT: Oooh, what about "The Clot"? You know, a thick group that kills indiscriminately?

How about The Knights Exemplar? Or The Illuminatives? The Freebacons?

Pffft. The orphans. They ain't a real crew. They weren't even invited to the meet!

hmmm im kind of thinking of names that don't exactly consider the gang to be "a gang". For instance like "the infected" relates to the them being the same kind of thing but they aren't exactly in a organized gang. They just hang around each other because they know one another but there main goal is their own individual survival. is that what kind they are, or are they well organized, like a biker gang?

well here are some random names: The Insane, Them, The Changed, scavengers, Ghouls.

I'm sure there are more names you can think of.

Sadist or any other random adjective. Still raiders are a good choice if a bit 'generic'.

Hearing Raiders reminds me of the Oakland Raiders, the real life crazies.

Having a football name isn't such a bad idea. Something like the Bulldogz. Naming a gang after guns, or even better, their primary armament isn't a bad idea either.

The hyrax was just a virus dropped on three states, it wasnt like fallout. It just killed a lot of people because it rotted away their brain fully. (Hyrax is an advanced form of mad cow diesease) the survivors are people who were resistant enough to survive but mad their neck weak and it mad them kind of insane
The Rednecks

Would work escpecially well with some skin irritation in that area.

What do I win?
