I like the name left wing legend.  It's snappy for one thing.  Also, the apex of LCS membership seems like it's a step above even the elite liberalism practice by lesser liberals.

Well, its 1 rank above Urban Commando.

So... Urban Legend? :D

Left Wing Legend is fine, though.

Yes, but the game is won when the entire government and the laws become "Elite Liberal." If there's something more liberal than that, then the game should be won when the entire country is run by them. Besides, the term Elite Liberal is a reversal of the pejorative "liberal elite," whereas Left Wing Legend doesn't really reference anything.

As far as a replacement 500 juice rank, I would go with something like "Marxist Partisan" for the double meaning the phrase presents.

Marx is far from liberal enough.

You really think the term "Marxist" is still grounded in Marx's own beliefs?

I'm in favor of keeping Liberal Elite as the apex, so that would put the new title at the 500 mark. Left Wing Legend sounds really clunky though. If we can't come up with something better, I'd argue for at least smoothing it down to Leftist Legend, but even that is non-optimal.

Hmm... I'm at best ambivilant to it, but "Leftist/Liberal Icon" crops up in political discourse from time to time.

Leftist Guerrilla?

Meh. If we don't want to repeat modifiers in the rank labels, we're almost stuck with Leftist or Left-Wing if we don't want to resort to specific non-applicable political ideologies (e.g., Marxist) or epithets (e.g., Moonbat). That, or go further adjectivally afield, as with Urban Commando.

Double hmm. We could also do something like:

100 to 199Revolutionary
200 to 499Guerrilla
500 to 1000Urban Commando
1000+Elite Liberal

I have three name suggestions:

1-Liberal Terror

2-Green Terror

3-Godzilla  ;D
(after all, he's huge, he's green, and he fights pollution)

Can't think of any good names. I think that graffiti should target the 4 zones. Each zone would carry its own risk reward ratio.  For instance cops won't really care about a new mural on the outside of the homeless shelter but no one of political significance is going to see it. Whereas managing to paint it outside the cigar bar or on the CEO residence would possibly attract media attention but cause much more heat.

It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Leftist Guerrilla?

Meh.

Green Guerilla!
Best at fighting in the Genetic Labs!  :D

Another idea is that we can change the 20 heart name to "Simathizer" or "Lobbyist", and bump everything else up a notch.

I suggest Liberal Guardian for the 500 one.
