It's just called "Bay 12 Temporary" because the name Bay 12 was already taken. There's no emblem, but it might be cool to have one. We'll be the main Bay 12 outfit when the next character wipe rolls around- I have always been of the opinion that things won't go very smoothly if we split into different outfits. Like I was saying earlier I think it would be best to just set our faction opinions aside to play together. Right now the temp outfit is NC. I'll add, the short story contest is ongoing for which faction we play though NC is currently winning that too.

Does someone just go around taking up popular names or something? I don't see how Bay12 could be related to anything but dwarf fortress.

No, it's the result of some former attempt to make a Bay 12 outfit. There were at least a couple upstarts before that didn't get a lot of members.

Even Reddit only runs one outfit. (East 2, VS) Splitting things up just doesn't work right now.

Well, I did what I could with my story... If you all are just so insistent on being NC property, then I guess I'll just have to do my best to take you all down myself... Thought you were better than that, Bay12... thought you were better than that. :P

Its not as if it matters. Picking a faction is almost as meaningless as picking a football team or picking horde/alliance in WoW. It all comes down to personal preference.

The factions are different. It is about personal preference. Bay 12 wants to be unified, so whichever group has the most preference will be selected. Faction matters. Not everyone wants to play as an alien in a purple suit, but still might want to play with as many Bay 12ers as possible.

NC have the easymode Reaver, a OHK sniper rifle, and the toughest main battle tank which definitely mops the floor with the Prowler.

I went back to VS, personally. Also, there's something fun about destroying Vanguards with a Magrider like a boss. :V
(Being blown up in a quarter second in a scythe without being able to tell what is shooting you or from where is less fun - in that case it turns out it was a reaver's main cannon. I prefer the magrider so much more than the scythe. I shot a reaver out of the sky yesterday with the main cannon while it was flying horizontally towards a base tower.)

Is PS2 going to be F2P? I heard it was going to be,  but the FAQ says that they are still considering their buisness model.
