New guild name

[w1z4rd]

Hey all... so those of us left surviving and still able to stand after all of this need to call ourselves something. Whats it going to be... how about we get a bunch of suggestions posted here and then vote on it.

My recommendation is "Carpe Carpum" ... Latin for "Seize the fish".

I also vote we discuss a constitution for our guild so we dont lose everything again and try not repeat the past.

Lets have those suggestions!

Shotgun first post.

I would prefer this to be a non-serious guild where friends hang out, get drunk and talk about the fun we had over the weekend. For more seriaas play the other guild is your best option. Though, thats just my opinion.

[Thumponius]

Carpe Crapulum (for Arby!!).

[Mugato]

I kinda like Warsong Rebel Guard - I think it was hossy's idea. I cant remember who posted it. Whoever it was - Its kief! It sounds like a guild of extreme poonage. So thats my vote.

As for the seriousness of the guild, i think lets leave that to individuals or groups of people within it. I like to play the game at my own pace. I also love raiding and all the challenges that have come with it. The game really took a good turn for me when i started being included into raids. I got gear, i understood rotation and i learnt about proper team work. I think a balance is what is needed and everyone just respecting everyone else's particular play style. For example:

If you are a hardcore player "WELCOME TO OUR NEW GUILD, WE LOVE YOU!"
If you are a non serious player "WELCOME TO OUR NEW GUILD, WE LOVE YOU!"

This is just my opinion. Use it, dont use it.:thumbsup:

[senorblinky]

:rofl: Thank for taking the lead on this one Wizzie.

Erm, i have a couple of suggestion, but i don't feel particularly emotional about any of them - we are about the fun and we are all laid back and rustig and leveling here and raiding there, there's no pressure there, so i thought the name should at least be a bit fun.

"Semper in excretum est sed alta variat"
"The Orphans of Azeroth"
"The Drunken Stupors"
"Hungover"
"Fallen Might"
"The Horde" (and them we make a horde guild and name it "The Alliance" :rofl: ... just me? ok... :sad: )
"Illegitimate Sons of Hodir" (this is my favourite, probably because i thunked it up myself :D )
"The Ankle biters" (If we were all gnomes)
"Gnome Fury" (If we were all gnomes)
"Gnomeland security" (If we were all gnomes)
"Sonskyn en Rose"
"Redemption"
"The Booty Bay Connection"
"Fragile"
"Front towards enemy"
"Happy Tree friends" (If we were all night elves)
"Friends"
"Still Standing"
"Bunny Huggers"
"Preventers of the Cataclysm"
"Survivors of the First Cataclysm"
"Search Party"

I dunno, i'll keep thinking, i like some of these names, but perhaps they spark something in you guys

Thanks Mugsy - it was actually Vudu that suggested Warsong Rebel Guard (W R G :rofl: )

[Voicy]

Blinky ... here's one...

<AFK>

:D

[Mugato]

LOL @ <AFK>. We are roleplaying that we arent really playing? I can just imagine the ambush fun at South Shore. A little noob horde will be attracted to it like a moth to a flame! :D

[Thumponius]

Or <DND>

[Hoss]

I kinda like Warsong Rebel Guard - I think it was hossy's idea. ....

I love the way I get credit for stuff I didn't do :D


and Blinks I get your "the horde" chirp :rofl:

I'm going to give this name change some thought, I'm leaning toward something in Afrikaans, something fun

[Thumponius]

I do believe that the Warsong Rebel Guard first originated in the fertile manure patch of Ga55ie's peanut. It was the time that TG got reported for [-]Haxx[/-] the WarGeeks guild name.

[senorblinky]

lol, what a way of expressing yourself, Ga55ie's fertile peanut, classic.

Anyhoozer, i like Hoss's suggestion of something in afrikaans. But it's very close to dutch, so we need to be creative like that.

AFK and DND are excellent suggestions, stuff i would vote for :rofl: but it won't fly on an RP realm unfortunately.

Some more ideas:
"Hartebeespoort dam is 'n lekker dam"
"Kinders by dosyne"
"Jou Lang Antie se gat man"
"Ustica" Pronounced: "USE-tah-ka"
Usage: "Can you dance? We'll I Ustica... Gimme a minute and i might could again!" ( :rofl: oh, i've lost it now)
"Widgadidga" Pronounced: "Wuh-dja-duh-dja"
Usage: "You didn't bring your truck widgadidga?"

oh noes...

[Hoss]

yes foul language I know, just trying to be a smartass:

"hoerskool Vok Jou se eerste span"

:D

:hide:

[senorblinky]

WHAHAHAHAHA! That made me roffel!

:rofl:


HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY! Waht d'you think you're doing? There are PEOPLE down there!

[TG]

Many of those "suggestions" are way too long.

[Grooly]

"Wat kyk jy"

[senorblinky]

24 characters i think.
Some of them are just plain ridiculous and i don't even want them, but maybe they inspire others?

[Hoss]

I think we should maybe get a bit serious and attach some guidelines to the naming so we can get things up and going before cataclysm comes out ;)

Maybe put down a general guideline to the philosophy of the guild (we all pretty much know its about having fun; a light bit of raiding etc etc etc) which we should attempt to capture in its new name
Possibly have everyone come up with the one (or two) name(s) they think will rock, give a deadline for those submissions and then put it up for a vote

[senorblinky]

Hoss, you said it, now you can do it.
This is your guild too.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Make your proposals and get the people behind you.
Remember - you guys are gonna end up nominating and voting for officers, the council ain't gonna run this bad boy. I am purposefully holding back to see who takes the reigns.

[Voicy]

Here comes U.N.T.A.G , make your own words up:)

*lol*

You can be General Tyres. I'll be Captain Morgan :D

Blinky, what about <Pug life> :coolio: ?

[Hoss]

Ok here goes, i cant edit this thread or create a poll in it but we'll cross that bridge and make Blinky do it if we get there.


This is my proposal:

By Sunday (4 Oct 2009) make it 18:00 we must have all the nominated names in. I would like to suggest that we should each come up with two names. We must put these in a very specific order of preference so that if the situation occurs that a hundred names are given that only the first choice from each nominee is entered into the vote, so as to ensure that the poll doesn't crash this site or something. This give the chaps a weekend to mull over things and come up with that awesome name that they will give to their first born if it is not voted for here.

Talking about voting I suggest 48 hours, that is all votes in by Tuesday (6 Oct 2009) at 18:00 hours. Can the poll's allow a single person to place, say 3 votes? If so please.

Please keep in mind the RP rules, so no :Real World References; Contain "Leet" or "Dudespeak"; or Immersion breaking titles. Look here if you are unsure (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/policy/namingp1.html)

Also keep in mind the reason why we are still in this guild. Why we haven't moved to the serious raiding unit, and why we still consider ourselves Wargeeks. We are a light hearted group of peeps (most of the time), who are always willing to help others and usually playing with a smile on our faces, and playing for the fun of it. Lets try have this name be a reflection of ourselves and our values. Lets stay away from references to the break up, as I don't see how that reflects our attempt at a fresh start.

Hows them apples Blinky? What do you all think?

[Voicy]

My nominations:

<Lagdose Intolerant>

<Karazhan Chess Club>

[Mugato]

Cool Cool. Sounds good. :)

My Nominations - Warsong Rebel Guard
- Orphans of Azeroth

[w1z4rd]

My nominations:

Carpe Carpum

and snaking this one from an earlier suggestion:

UNTAG :D

Hows them apples Blinky? What do you all think?

I like them apples and i will do as i'm told. :)

My choices (for now):

<Illegitimate Sons of Hodir> (That's funny damnit!)
<Karazhan Chess Club> (That's Old School Yo!)
<War Torn>

Everyone wants a cool name, and cool is either edgy or funny or a bit of both. I agree, the name should at least hint it being non-serious/fun. <War Torn> is perhaps too edgy, but sometimes, edgy names are cool.

[Arbythep00nage]

I votes for Carpe Crapulum :p

[w1z4rd]

I like the Chess Club one.

[senorblinky]

Wiz, what makes the chess club one cool (and i don't know if you know, so i'm saying it out loud for everyone to hear) in Karazahn, one of the bosses is a chess game, it's really FLIPPEN cool!

We should go and do that for funsies again! :D

[Voicy]

:roffel: Some of those names are just flippen brilliant.

I miss playing WoW :sad:

Good luck for the future of the guild :sharp:

[lolla]

For now I put forward for consideration:

<Aardramp Krygers>
<Achievementos> see if you guys can get that one

[Jono]

<Drasties Bestmet>
<lekke pap en sous>
<Bo blink onder stink>
<Pienk boutjies>
<Horde is poefie>
<Poke my bellybutton>

:D

[senorblinky]

Achievements whores... That's me...

[Voicy]

If we were only a bunch of gnomes who raided deadmines exclusively, I'd say <The Goonies> :p

Otherwise <Sons of Hogger> ... bit of wordplay there on an even more awesome boss :D

[Hoss]

Nice keep them rolling in.

Mine:

<Beer Garden Raiders>

<Horde Welcoming Party>

[senorblinky]

Remember guys, you have a deadline to come up with names.
Read Hoss's post

Everyone nominate TWO names, and put your FAVOURITE of the two at the top.

Or name 60 if you're keen, but put your two favourite at the top.
That way, if someone else comes along, see something cool in your number 3 through 60, they can choose one or two of those to add to THEIR top two nominations.

As per Hoss's instruction, the poll will consist of ONLY every nominees top two, and will go live on sunday afternoon at 18:00.

[Hoss]

Yes and please chaps lets speak to the other guildies and get them to come post here. I see alot of peeps who still need to come up with some ideas. This guild will not be a dictatorship, we want everyone to make a contribution because ultimately a sense of inclusion and participation amongst all will go a long way toward creating harmony.

[Flatty]

"Itchy Trigger-Finger Niggers" :p

[Arbythep00nage]

Lol the Horde welcoming party is cool.

[TG]

"Itchy Trigger-Finger Niggers" :p

Like that one won't get you a nice new guild called "Guild of Flatspin" and a warning on your account.

[Flatty]

Like that one won't get you a nice new guild called "Guild of Flatspin" and a warning on your account.

But, but - it's in a movie called "Groove" AND it's said by a black dude....it's the name of that juicy east-coast band:



Coop: 'ey, I got some smokin' west coast flow just landed raw as botulism, mate!
Customer: Nah, f%$k dat west coast sh#t man, I want some hardcore east coast flavour beat, ya know what I mean?
Coop: Why didn't you say so? Phat beats, Armageddon on the streets, we're inundated with the sh#t man. If we had any more hardcore we'd get arrested ya know what I mean?
Customer: Yeah, Hait.
Coop: This was recorded by a posse of crackheads on death row, right, so all them little interludes to prison noises, and that, they're for real. They call themselves "The Itchy Trigger-Finger Niggers"
Customer: The itchy what?
Coop: "The Itchy Trigger-Finger Niggers"


I'll never understand how it's PC for them to call themselves that, and not us? But, that's just me, I guess - I suppose it's about what context you use the word in. If I had to call "Ron-The-Bomb" that, he'd probably flatten me.

[Arbythep00nage]

[w1z4rd]

I was thinking about this one day considering our current circumstances... and my affinity for some things french:

Les Misérables ; "translated variously from French as The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims) "

[TG]

How about,

"I don't mean to interrupt"
and
"Of ALL Time!"

Actually its from Human traffic.

I always get the two confused - should remember Groove is San Francisco & Human Traffic is London. Human Traffic is way better than Groove, though I did enjoy quite a few of the tracks from Groove.

Whenever I want a blast from the past I just watch Human Traffic - they have it down to the T.

[senorblinky]

:rofl: @ The Victims... of what? a flood?

I kinda like Les Misérables, but A) It's based on a book/play/movie - so the GMs will can it and B) let's stay from this self pitying nonsense, it's unnecessary.

We could all roll gnomes and call ourselves <die gifappeltjies> :p haha

[senorblinky]

Ok, i've compiled a list of guild names and i will post the poll to vote for those names at 6pm.
I didn't include any names that may be seen as an RP infringement, or just the all round crappy one (Jono :valkoog: rerig? )

also, as per Hoss's instruction, i only took everyone's top 2 nominations.

If you would like to add to you nomination, do it before 6.

Thanks for putting this together Blinks :thumbsup:

So Illegitimate Sons of Hodir will also been knows as ISH which is close to EISH which is proudly South African? :) Just a thought. And I'm not a son :hmmm:

I still need to decide...

[Jono]

This one already exists on another server tho?
<Karazhan Chess Club>

[Voicy]

This one already exists on another server tho?
<Karazhan Chess Club>

I find that very strange, since it was the same name I came up with when we had our 1st naming infraction.

If it exists it's not a problem, as I prefer the name <Illegitimate Sons of Hodir> anyway. (Can you use 27 characters in a guild name?)

[Jono]

I just googled it. :) I like <Illegitimate Sons of Hodir> as well. Not sure about the name length.

[TG]

If it's too long, you can try 'Illicit'. Don't think 'Bastard' will fly tho, although it's technically correct.

[senorblinky]

Hmmm, i see, damnit.
I so love the Karazahn Chess Club and the hodir one.
But now there is a karazahn chess club, and the hodir one is too long.

Will think of alternatives to see where we can cut 2 characters.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Pity we can't use <Bastard Sons of Hodir>
Illegitimate just has such a nice ring to it :p

<Hodir's Love Child>

So it will be:
PREDIKANT
<Hodir's Love Child>

or

<Lovechild of Hodir>


Whahaha! Man i'm lame...

[Flatty]

Correct spelling is Karazhan (http://www.wowwiki.com/Karazhan)

<Chillax>
<Titans of war>
<Battlefield Too> :)

so when do you decide?
too much of draggin on!

...and your point is? This the WrG we're talking about - procrastination is what it's about. Never a decision made in haste, and all that :D

[Hoss]

Its a 48 hour voting process, so results are confirmed at 18:00 today, no procrastination at all

[Arbythep00nage]

Ahh I thought it was meant to be on Sunday night, hence me asking.

Vorty, the battlefield too one made me lol!

[Flatty]

Its a 48 hour voting process, so results are confirmed at 18:00 today, no procrastination at all

I trust that we have an independent body verifying the authenticity of the results, seeing as there seem to be allegations of rigging, what with the excess ballots cast 'n all :gyes:

[Hoss]

Are you questioning the integrity of our elections? Its because I'm black hey?

[senorblinky]

This is not the WrG guild anymore, TG has gracefully offered to host these forums for us. So yeah, we can take as long as we want :p

But ja, the poll will close at 18:00 tonight, along with the guild leader poll. And tomorrow, the old WrG guild will effectively be /gdisbanded and we will all be in this shiny new one.

[Voicy]

What happens to the characters in the guild who haven't left yet?

[senorblinky]

Blizzard deletes their chars... :unimpressed:
Why? what did you think happens?

[Voicy]

No, I was wondering:

- Do you need to to kick all players from the guild before disbanding
- or if you as guild leader disband, then the guild falls away
- or if you disband, then whoever is still in the guild becomes the guild leader/officer etc.

Thinking about it now, if it doesn't auto disband, then it's really not a big process to kick all players 1st and then disband.

[Punky3025]

Dont worry Voicy I will kick you :psycho:

[Vortex]

Are you questioning the integrity of our elections? Its because I'm orange hey?

fixed

[Frostbitten]

No-one needs to GQuit. Once the Guild leader disbands the guild all the members are automatically no longer members of a guild.

I speak from experience in that I logged on once to find that my guild had disappeared. I was very confused.

This said I am still weighing my options, whether to move all my toons to one new guild or to split them between two guilds.

Maybe I should hold auditions.
