What do you call a Long Dark Fan...

[illanthropist]

You've got the likes of:

Whovians

Trekkies and Warsies (erm no, that doesn't translate too well)

Potterheads

Twi-hards

Gleeks

Ringers for the Tolkien fans and not dodgy car salesman!

On a side note, is it a little sad that I should know all these pop-culture references...

[starfighter441]

Masochist perhaps?

Given that we seem to (Virtually) like being cold, hungry and in fear of our lives...

[Vhalkyrie]

No joke. Considering I'm as far as you get from a thrill seeker, it's amusing to me that I'm enjoying this game so much.  I do enjoy hiking and camping, and I'm a Colorado native.  I lived several years in the Pacific Nothwest and hiked/ camped all over Washington and British Columbia, so I guess this is nostalgic.

However, I never ran from murderous bears and wolves.  

So what would TLD fans be nicknamed? Darkies?  Fluffies?

What about Survivors?

[SteveP]

The doomed.

[MrNicoras]

We are the tired.

We are the cold.

We are the hungry.

We are the hyper-vigilant.

We are the Wolf Slayers.

We are the real Walking Dead.

I myself am both a Trekker (I've heard "Trekkie" is derogatory") and a big fan of Star Wars.
But, I don't know what a Whovian, Warsie, Gleek, or Potterhead is ...though I'm guessing fan of Harry Potter for the last.
Gleek sounds like the way Japanese people say "Greek" and "twi-hard" sounds like Elmer Fudd saying "Try hard!"

Ringer sounds like something sexual the military folks around here talk about ....and that's all I'll say about that

As a fan of the Long Dark, I call myself is a "post-apocalyptic survival game fan." 

But personally I think that short nick-names are just for lazy people

Hinterlander? Or would that be presumptuous?

Sounds like a British slang thing

I just call myself a Star Wars Geek.  Or sometimes "Jedi wana-be."

I guess for being a fan of this game I could call myself a "Long Dark Man." However, I think some folks might get the wrong idea

[hauteecolerider]

Nothing wrong with being mistaken for a Long Dark Man!
