Naming contest!

[Smacdevil]

Ok, reposting since I changed my original post:

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.

[Nusse]

Think I'll try a few as well.

1) Goodfellas - Just a name that sounds good, and one we were thinking about 6 months ago when a group of friends was contemplating starting a guild on RK2.

2) Quantum - Because we'll now have the quantum of members that we all want. And as any physicist can tell you - everything can be blamed on something due to Quantum somethingorother.


While we're three guilds merging, the name doesn't really have to reflect on the fact that we were once 3 guilds. The name should instead be something that new members that have not been in the previous guilds also can identify with. Just my $0.02.

[Icellus]

On a related note.

I would prefer the guild have a one or AT MOST two word name.

I think simplicity lends to notoriety and tends to stick in one's mind. Not that RKFF isn't a good name, I can see the meaning in it and it conveys a lot. But, wouldn't you prefer to refer to the guild by the name all the time instead of an abbreviation? If you refer to it by name, the name is what you remember- not the abbreviation. One of the reason's I initially accepted my seemingly random invite to Excalibur was that I thought the name was short and sweet.

moved this topic here, so that ex Excals and RRats not yet with access to restricted areas, can also vote and see it!

According to Nusse there is a naming competition for the new guild going on in your forum. I can't find it. I make my suggestion here and apologise if I have missed something.

I would like to suggest "Reborn"

Some thoughts...

Ramblings...(Thoughts I had when trying to come up with a name)
Three to One
Mind of all, Soul of Three, Spirit of One

1. Thrice Blessed
- Thrice (3 times)
- Blessed - In that we have been given this opportunity to unit with each other and to become greater than the sum of the individual parts.

2. Three Steps From You
- Just a fun one, three for obvious reasons, and we can get to you in about 3 steps from anywhere on the planet - Whether it be the backyard, grid, BS or reclaim

Thanks, Fao

[tireala]

well, here's my two suggestions


1. Rubikan Resurgence

Resurgence: a rising again into life, activity, or prominence. With the joining of the guilds, this was one of our main goals, right?

2. Scions Of Rubi-Ka

Scions: proceeding from an ancestor or source. this is what we are, the sons and daughters of RK. I just kinda like this one too

I'm particular to the first one myself.

what do ya think? let me know

[Samuraichan]

The new name of our guild should reflect who and what we are. I would like to submit the two following names for consideration:

Noble Coalition
Noble: possessing, characterized by, or arising from superiority of mind or character or of ideals or morals
Coalition: alliance of distinct parties, persons, or states for joint action

Rubikan Renaissance
Renaissance: restoration of force, validity, or effect, or a new or second birth

I think that these would proudly represent us and what we stand for.

Having now found the correct post for this and having read some excellent suggestions, I am trying to come up with an idea or two and put in some supporting text.

I like the ones to do with rebirth and renaissance as this is a rebirth for all three of us. Like birth it is associated with some pain and tonight I am going to do something I thought I would never do: type /org leave

So I like the suggestions Reborn (my own ) Rubikan Renaissance etc and I have come up with one more which is a combination of some of the other suggestions: Noble Renaissance. Not original and if it wins you can give the money to someone else: Rahmorak. (NTs have to stick together )

Thanks Chef

We can always donate the money to the Charity "Gimp NTs of Rubi-Ka"

[Kicktopps]

Yay!! My first post... Ok, down to business.

Rising Union

Rising-Taken from the idea of a Phoenix rising from the ashes, or in our case, three guilds. Also could be considered growth.

Union-A group of like minded claners.

Free Winds

Free-The clan idea of roaming freely over the lands of Rubi-Ka. Also pulled from the RKFF name.

Winds-Taken from the Temple of the three winds. Everytime I saw something with three in it, all I could think of is the temple... It also follows the idea of the Rollerrats name, by using something from the game.

[Erlic]

well
Nomads of the wastelands
or
three nations (according to old earth 5 nations a coalition of 5 indian tribes in canada their famoused member was the tribe of the iroquois (Irokesen)

[Freuty]

I know we're only supposed to submit two, but I got another... not bothered about the prize, just wanted to see what others thought

After reading a bit about Norse mythology (since we seem to be majorly european peeps ) Came across the name Magni - Son of Thor - Magni was considered the god of might, or strength, and was believed to be the only being in the Norse universe stronger than his father.. Also, Magni is supposedly one of the few gods to have survived the 'Ragnorak' ... End of the world event...

So, how about, Magni Order - since we'll be stronger as one, mightier than we were and certainly surpass our 'parent' guilds, also we've survived what might have been the end As an aside, Ragnorak is the name of a fairly active Omni guild

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that into the ring.

[Volais]

Well..we need a name that reflects our military strength, our political views, and...were based mainly around Athens...so something with a greek tone.

Two words come to mind when I think of those points:

Imperturbable- cannont be broken, usually on an emotional level

and

Aegis- protection or under the supervision of somethin

(Ok..when you spend five years on an Forensics you learn complex and unusual words)

Anyway...I think those two words (especially the first one) are pretty good for a name.

Perhaps

The Imperturbable Legions-

Imperturbable would show that are spirits and our bond can never be broken. A Legion could signify a mighty army, which would show our military strength.

Eh...I guess its alright

[Volais]

according to Microsoft Word...Imperturbable could also mean Impassive
