Naming contest!

[Smacdevil]

Cool, I love contests! Here's my suggestion, having thought it over - 'Project 52' was a bit lame ;p

I suggest:

Order of the Three

Why?

'Order' to signify that we are disiplined and have explicit goals, and to some extent spiritual - we share a very long history on Rubi-Ka and care about the planet's future, as well as its turbulent past. Disicpline and spirituality combined can be powerful tools.

'Three' - apart from the obvious number of merging guilds, it brings a vague association with a certain ancient cult Adds some mystique and provides a link to ingame elements.

The Excalibur freedom fighters of rollerrats?? Nahhh.. too long

[Jpegg]

Excalirat Freedomfighters

[Jpegg]

I think we need to keep the name unique... Genesis / Trinity etc are all from other things ie, the band, the Matrix etc.

We want to avoid ppl wondering if we took the name from somewhere. Triad is another but its chinese organised crime. We want people to see it and not have any link to another source.

[BigSwede]

The band.. ahh.. that leads me to

Band of Brothers

But we have sisters aswell so I guess that would be discriminating, right?

[rahmorak]

Heh OK I need to clarify some rules here (/me smacks Cogs )

1) Each person is allowed a maximum of two entries.

2) Each entry MUST have some supporting text as to why you think that name would fit.

All submissions must be in by Sunday 31st, 1800 GMT.

The Advisors will then whittle this down to 6 which will be put to an open vote, the one with the most votes becoming the new guild name.

Good luck

(for those who have posted more than 2 entries or no supporting text please edit and update your post )

[edited to changed change repost to edit]

[rahmorak]

On that note, my two entries:

1) The Council of Elders.

All three guilds have been around a long time and have a maturity lacking in most guilds. I think the name reflects this as well as giving the impression that we are open to non-violent resolution and are a venerable organisation.
Council is also a nod to the origins of the new guild, e.g. we are 3 guilds equal in status.

2) Chameleon.
We adapt to our environment and the political climate. Friends of the natural resources of Rubi-Ka we work towards harmony, nurturing the Notum instead of brutally reaping it like Omni Tek.

[Cogs]

Ohh Rahm...I like your first suggestion!!
Unfortunately, Bigswede, we have an Omni guild called Band of Brothers...so, however great the name is(I love it!!) we can use.
And thank you, Rahm for clearing up the rules.

And, no need to repost, just edit your original post, and remove/delete any superfluous posts.

[BigSwede]

o.O I didnt notice that rule.. Hmm

Anyway, I support The Council of Elders. I think that's a very good name indeed. A very good supporting text aswell. The more I think of it, the more I like it

[Freuty]

Hmmm, OK I'll throw a couple in ...

1) [edit] My first choice is now Magni Order see my post further down for reasons

2) Troika Fellowship - Troika as in Russian thingy pulled by three fine horses (I think?!?)... and fellowship because thats what we are

3) The Triumvirate - a coalition of our three guilds, also a nod to the Egg of the same name symbolising (re)birth ...

Anyway... keep em coming, some good 'uns so far

[Jpegg]

hehe, three horses is also a beer they serve in the bargain booze in UK. Stronger than Stella and rocketfuel. Has me climbing lamposts so it does.

[Icellus]

My suggestion #1: ah -it was taken so now

My New suggestion #1: Kerberos (aka Cerberus)

Kerberos was the fierce watchdog of Haides. He was depicted as a three-headed dog with a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and a lion's claws.

This might better fit the guild if we are going to be more vengeful when attacked Obviously, once again here we have the theme of three, just in a bit more combative name.

Suggestion #2 (editted from Three Suns to Third Sun)

This one just cool. You get the reference to three, but at the same time it implies something of mystery, as Rubi-Ka has only two suns.

I like plenty of the other suggestions, though. Just thought I would chime in with my 2 cents worth.

[Indefatigable]

I like the suggestions so far, I would add some of my own but can't think of a good one right now.

[Wirecutter]

2) Troika Fellowship - Troika as in Russian thingy pulled by three fine horses (I think?!?)... and fellowship because thats what we are

Well Troika is also a chocolate not tasting too good, but consist of three things aswell (chocolate, jello and somethingsomething)

[Flameforge]

I was toying with some words I like: unity, integrity, soul, essence, spirit, aurora, beacon, light (feel free to work with any of these too). In the end, I decided upon:


Radiance
Simply "Radiance". A noun for glory, bright, shining, splendor. I see us as the amalgamation of goodness and hope, a star-beacon burning in the skies of clanners, and the brilliant beam scouring oppression.

("Radiant" is a neutral org with 14 peeps.)


Essence of Rubi-Ka
More "earthy" connection. Embraces the purity of our goals, in partnership with, and respect of, the planet. Acknowledges understanding of our environments, and roots with nature. Also brings images of power -- the untamed fury of Rubi-Ka.

("Essence" is a clan org with 6 peeps. No big deal.)
