    The KopiTiam around the corner from the Jedi Temple, also known as The KopiTiam. Where everyone knows your name. We are the KopiTiam-ers.


    Guess that's pretty indicative of my choice, eh? :)

    Really, must we lable everything Singaporean with a Singa-.... Even certain Singapore Bodies (i.e. companies) have had to change names so as not to be branded Govt influenced etc......

    I'll stick with JKT, nice to be called JKTeers or when you are chairing a meeting, can be reminded of SFF by asking someone else to "TIAM!" (keep quiet) :)

    My 2 credits worth..........

    Peace

    I'm going with Clare about the double name. If we were to use Jedi Kopi-Tiam alone, there would be a lot of people who would be unable to understand what it means. Do realise that it's not just in a different language, even people who know English or maybe even Chinese wouldn't be able to understand it. It would really take some explaining to get it done. That's why I think that something like Jedi Kopi-Tiam: The SingaForce might do better.

    If I'm not wrong we'll probably be able to put up this name next to the Singapore link on the main page, so it should be good. :)

    Well after much thought, Singaforce would be a good name, as for Jedi Kopi Tiam we could use it as one of the hyper link, a board maybe, sort of where people could chat and catch up. Reason being not everybody is a pro-Jedi fan some pple i belive prefer the bounty hunters and the Sith. So Singaforce might be more general i feel.

    This is outrageous, i object to KOPITIAM.
    It sounds singaporean but its not suitable to star wars context.
    Although i'm new to this fanclub, i have a right to its given name.
    But of course its up to the majority.
    May the force be with u.

    Hi Yazid_Skywalker! Welcome to the Community! Hope you'll enjoy your stay here. ;)


    Okay on to the naming of the FanForce issue, what does the rest have to say now. Combine or private voting for one of them or using the 2 names to refer to different parts of the FanForce as Lukedecop mentioned.

    Personally, I'll prefer Jedi Kopitiam as it's not the usual Singapore this, Singa that. And I'm only a legal Jedi Knight under the Rebel Legion, not yet a full Imperial under the 501st so you guess it, Jedi first. :p But I'm open to combining the names or using each to refer to different aspects.

    But, like they say, let the people speak first!
