**Some spoilers here**
Hmmmm, by default or by design?!!
Bringing the nickname alternatives closer to JW's stuff, let's see....there's the 4 world's end gates. Somehow, that wouldn't make for scintillating exchanges (
West: "Hey South, how you doing?
South: Not so good, there's a ravening bunch of wraiths chewing my backside!"). It's not the Fellowship of the 4, although with Ciladis absent, Davien gone rogue and Sethvir prostrate containing my namesakes, maybe there's potential there (somewhere).
Wandering further (might be making your point for getting stuck with "Dithering"!), we could be Procrastination and the Pips (what the H-E-double hockey sticks is a "pip", anyway??!!), A Tribe Called Clan(sman), or Dekket's Midnight Runners. As none of these seems particularly attractive to me (or more importantly, and hopefully, to any of you!) I find myself returning to the Horsemen theme. Can't we choose some other names, though?
Remember: No Stormed Fortress spoilers in the replies, or at least clearly mark them! (as noted above, still waiting for the book!)
