There are far more creative names above but I'll throw in Ashites.

I have been sat here for ages trying to think of an original suggestion based on Ashes.  However Ashlings tops anything I could think of. 

Then as soon as I stopped thinking about Ashes as the important word and started thinking about the point of the game. the term Creationists poped into my mind.  Just a thought.

Simply because of such a diverse crowd, I'd say no to something that references religion

@Authorize Hmm I hadnt considered that.  Not being a follower of any RL relgion and the fact that this is a high fantasy game I would hope that the wonderfuly diverse comunity we have here will emerse themselves in the game and leave our RL diferences at the world gate.  I fully appreciate your point tho.

Sorry to derail, but someone really need to help me understand the community's fascination with sandals. 

  

I find your lack of "fan-boyism" extremely disturbing. Tsk tsk. You bring shame to the Bandit Lords.

Guys. It was Ashlings the moment it was spoken. It can't NOT be Ashlings now.

30 years later, we'll still be debating this.... like Trekkies vs Trekkers.

Someone should make a poll about this.

Ashlar speaks of strength!  Ashlings denotes fledglings, the young.

I think that is a good idea however I expect the result is a forgone conclusion.

Ashlings 99%

All the other sugestions 1%

Exactly! We are fledgling little Ashlings, devouring each and every morsel of information our Mama Intrepid regurgitates after carefully chewing and processing it for us!

Here's a little pronunciation game for ya. We could call ourselves the "Aislings" (pronounced ashleen), which means "dream." We are, after all, dreaming of the game we wish to see, yes?

I still like Nag-ashlings

That'd be "Creationalist". Hehe. Buy yeah, I could see how your original suggestion of "Creationist" might have been mistaken for that .

Yes, in my OP I said I wanted us to pool some names together, then I'll make a poll. Better that way I think. It'll be up soon!

Ashers/Ashling?

To me Ashers sounds better and more fitting, but here is some insight on each word
:

Ashers : With the suffix -er, we are claiming occupation and possession of the game. This is similar to Farmer ((Someone who works a farm)) or Fisher ((Someone who catches fish)) etc. This would mean when an individual hears Asher, they subconsciously know that we are avidly invested in this game.

Ashling: Suffix -ling would imply the belonging to or associated within an appropriate grouping. However, the term is often used in a diminutive or derogatory tone, meaning less than the original: Darkling, sapling, etc. When someone hears Ashling, they would subconsciously believe that we were addicted or fanatic about the game, which is often seen as childish or unworthy.

Sounds like I am hating on the word Ashling, but I'm really not, I just want to ensure people understand the grammar behind the wording and what people would think, even if they are not consciously aware of it.  

My vote remains with Asher with my reason noted above.
