EDITED!

OK time to vote!

Pick your favorite TRIBE name from the list below. The winner will be the one with the most votes at 12pm EDT Friday, 9/20.

### previous contest text ###

Ready for another contest?

Win this one and you'll be looking at SIX vintage Electronic Games Magazines, fresh from the 80's. Remember the days when you'd read about NEW games coming out like Jungle Hunt or Elevator Action? Remember when you'd drool over NEW systems like the Atari 5200 and ColecoVision? Remember when video games didn't have more than 16 colors on the screen and yet they STILL drew the pictures for screenshots in ads? Ah yes, those were the days. Win this contest and you can re-live that experience again. Or you can eBay the lot for a cool $60 :)

NOW then. Here's how you play.

Our DP Survivor game is about to hit it's midpoint. The 8th member of the original 16 will get voted out tonight, and the remaining 8 will join together tomorrow in a new camp. Trouble is, the new tribe needs a NAME. That's where you come in.

Give us a TRIBE NAME of no more than two words. It should be video game related (as PAC TRIBE and SONIC TRIBE before were). Post them here, and the five best tribe names will get put to a vote.

This has to happen FAST. The tribe will group together late tomorrow and we'll need a name by then. We'll take the best names we have by noon EDT tomorrow (Thursday) and vote on them immediately afterwards, so get cracking! NAME THIS TRIBE!

Best I can do is Bomberman Tribe because we all know how that game forces you to turn on your friends and fight for your life. Kind of like the last rounds of Survivor are gonna be.

I like Goomba tribe, it sounds silly. Or Duck Hunt, lol. Oh, Mappy Land ;)
But i also like the Mario suggestion.
I think it should be a NES name because Pac is mainly atari, Sonic is mainly Genny.

In keeping with the TV show's occasional use of hyphenates for its mixed tribes, I recommend the exotic-and-yet-silly-sounding POOKA-FYGAR TRIBE.
