I like The Village as some kind of attempt to reverse-engineer the Stotosphere. Did anyone ever see a number larger than 332?

Hm. I thought perhaps the Rebel, but that's not quite right.
The Resistance would be more apt; might be the same as the Rebel, but
there's been a contextual shift in the post modern age. No longer do
we rebel for, we rebel against?
Actually, that fits kind of well, if you look at the Village as a
gambit in the Archetype's battle against an ambitious Godwalker.
