I was going to create a police branch called Direct Response Emergency Arms & Munitions and call them the DREAM Police...but I figured that would just be a cheap trick.
We've had similar tags in the past - they tend to give a bad impression however. You can make a name for any abbrevation. For said taskforce, I'd just use the [GRN-TO] tag or similar.

I was reading this and thought a nice ship tag might attract more people. It suddenly just clicked.
DREAM isn't that bad. With an acronym like GTFO it might and most probably will get interpreted as the vulgar and more commonly used alternative meaning, and that might/might not be legal, rules-wise.

Bad impression on who, if I might ask? Players taking offense?
Again, this question is meant to be purely hypothetical, and there is no GRN Task Force Orange in the works now or in the near future. Not that I know of, anyway.
Just keep in mind the possibility that you could get the tag removed by admins, if they deem it inappropriate or oorp'ish at any time. I would seek approval from an admin before finalizing that.
Well if GTFO does work... it kinda speaks for the group anyway in the sense unlawfuls should GTFO.... which makes sense if you have a good amount of people.
Also because of that tag i could potentially attract people anyway just for the sake of laughs... i dunno if that could be good or bad since they might just then make an excuse to troll around.
