Hmm...I hadn't given much thought to the actual application of the title or not.

I do find that most people who are enthusiastic about the pieces will refer to themselves as Pyramid Players or Pyramid People...PP is a bad acronym though (:

Perhaps People.Excited.About.Pyramids or PEAPs?  I wouldn't mind being a P.E.A.P. , however the connotation of little marshmallow chicks might be too close to the old Rabbit days for some people's taste.

As a pyramid player, I'm pretty enthusiastic about it all.  =)  And I
count myself lucky to know how to play IceDice.  It's a very fFun game
I've gotten some eurogamers to enjoy, so I'm excited to see it take
some spotlight in the coming months.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Card Game players could use a cool name, too.
You can certainly be both a Captain and Card-a-holic (or whatever
concept sticks), but maybe some sort of recognition of your area of
expertise, maybe?  But maybe this is just over thinking it.  Aquarius
players and Chrononauts players may not fFeel the same kind of
emotional connection to their system of choice as pyramid players do.

Since it is taking me so long to get a new fan club web site launched and he wanted to share his new ideas for the pyramids side of things...  he put up this page of rambling not yet fully formed ideas to get feedback on what we are working on building...  names are all up for debate and subject to change!
