Alliance Name Brainstorm Thread

[Magister]

I think these are some decent names (listed in no particular order):

Beyond Ascension
Order of the Nine
Savage Guard
Rogue Legion
Ardent Kinsmen of Ascalon

[WarBlade]

Replying to AKA discussion, I'm not a big fan of that name myself. Ardent Kinsmen sounds more "guildy" than "alliancy" (although I wouldn't mind that part so much). It's just the "of Ascalon" part that bothers me. At least one of our players doesn't have Prophecies for one thing and "of Ascalon" strikes me as a weird association for non-Tyrian characters or for players who may dislike that area of the game.

That would argue against most GW references, wouldn't it?

Like I said, i like the tag more than anything else for AKA...so if you can come up with something else to go along with it be it something funny or related to guild wars or not , by all means I am open to it. I never said it had to use those exact words.

I personally don't like the sound of the word "Ardent" much, heh. The "of Ascalon" part is fine IMO... heck, Zealots of Shiverpeak... not like everyone was a big fan of that area of the game hehe.

My personal votes would be for 2 of mine: "Beyond Ascension," "Savage Guard," and for one that isn't: "Rogue Legion."

If I may throw a wrench into the works for a sec: we can always pick a GW god to dedicate our alliance to for fun... and call ourselves the "Templar of Lyssa" or "Chosen of Grenth" or whatever. I personally don't care about what god we'd choose (well, not Abaddon since the only thing he's good at is dancing), so I'd go with whatever sounds best. I like roleplaying to an extent, and it would be funny to have like a "patron god," and it would make things easy when coming up with graphics for the alliance's cape or symbol or whatever (if we ever cared).

(Pick a god: Balthazar, Grenth, Lyssa, Melandru, Sciros, Dwayna)

Templar of ____
Followers of ____
Chosen of ____
Favored of ____
Temple of ____
Priests of ____ (not Balthazar :-P)
Guard of ____

(I so wish we could use apostrophes, because ___'s Guard or ____'s Templar would sound better but oh well)

Also, the tag doesn't have to coincide with the full name (think "Idiot Savants" [iQ]) or even be related to it (think "Arcane Legion [SWE]")

LOL, "Sciros." She's supposed to be an Asura boss in GW:EN, right? Yeah, I heard she's a nub.

[Sciros]

How about Rogue Legions of Ascalon ^_^ that might get points with folks who've voted for Rogue Legion and folks who like Kinsmen of Ascalon.

Tag could be... think of something, I'm lazy. maybe [lazy] works

[Sciros]

Sorry for the double-post.. but I felt like I needed to point this out:

Ardent:
# characterized by intense emotion; "ardent love"; "an ardent lover"; "a burning enthusiasm"; "a fervent desire to change society"; "a fervent admirer"; "fiery oratory"; "an impassioned appeal"; "a torrid love affair"
# characterized by strong enthusiasm; "ardent revolutionaries"; "warm support"
# glowing or shining like fire; "from rank to rank she darts her ardent eyes"- Alexander Pope; "frightened by his ardent burning eyes"

Kinsman:
# a male relative

So.. umm.. WHAT EXACTLY are "Ardent Kinsmen"? Is it, like, these guys?
