Changed Copperheads to Dillers; a slang term for an armadillo.

Why didn't my Spirits name come up on the voting polls?

Same thing happened to me: no Kings, as Sacramento in the NBA use it.

Will you count these for next group? We already know the teams so why not.

1) no Clippers because of LA
2) I think most people were just going ahead and waiting for Gritty because he has a lot to keep track of with the 6 cities we're currently doing. Just being courteous and all

I don’t think anyone would appreciate a reference to someone who assassinated a president...

JFK will be remembered as a fantastic president, if this name gets in, you're disrespecting his name! (Sorry if I was being offensive.)

1) To repeat what Dan said, do wait until he officially announces he is taking names for them.

2) Not a lot of F1 drivers actually drive in IndyCar, but Indy has been used for the USGP for 8 years.
