The last is neat; the first is the defacto standard these days. I like
World LEGO Gamers, but not the acronym it forms.
ILGO - International LEGO Gaming Organzition (follows the form of ILTCO)
GWB - Gamers with Bricks
That last makes me wonder if we want to avoid LEGO, given the reaction of
the con folks to you; on the other hand, there's lots of precidence in the
community (both communities, actually) for including the trademark of the
medium in the acronym. (LUG and LTC, obviously; also Warhammer, Battletech
and similar get used a lot in the names of gamer groups) <shrug>
