a guild of my very own?

[Captain Sharktooth]

I usually like to have guild names that don't have my name in it, for reasons. But, it is your guild, so you do it however you like.

[Dog Gunmorgan]

well it's not really my name just my nickname... but I like the idea of the matching first letter know what I mean? example: the guild I tried to run long ago was called dog's daggers. It doesn't have to be puppy's pirates that just the first thing that popped into my head. I am open to suggestions... I may just go ahead and make the guild and use the forums here to help get it going and obviously I will be recruiting a lot but im trying to decide whether to start it or not before I have a name to submit.

[SEAKING23]

Puppy pirates? Makes you sound like a bunch of dog whispers with swords. how about the rabid dogs? Or the fangs? how about the navy eating mutts? Claws? anything about dogs that are scary would work.

Or you could choose the fuzz balls -_-

[Dog Gunmorgan]

lol fuzz balls?? thats funny! .... would definitely turn some heads. good suggestions keep them coming (i am taking them all into consideration.)

[Countainer7b]

well it would be a good idea if it weren't that the name would prevent more serious and older players. So my recommendation is that you base the name on what type of guild it is. if it a SvS guild it should reflect some thing on ships if it is a military stile guild the name of a miitary unit is not a bad idea. another thing if the name of the guild is your name it seams a thought the guild would revolve around you.

P.S dose the guild currently exist or not as I would like to join said guild.

[Dog Gunmorgan]

I am waiting to create the guild until I have a name for it. and what exactly are you refering to when you say it wouldn't be a good name??

[Countainer7b]

well i wouldn't take someone with the name puppy seriously same with a guild.

No guild name is ever a bad guild name, unless it is truly bad (i.e. inappropiate.)

What they are trying to suggest is choose a guild name that will fit the purpose of the guild. While all appropiate guild names are never really "bad," a guild name might be bad for the category of players you are trying to attract. For example, naming a hardcore PvP guild "Fudge Muffins Hooray" isn't exactly going to fit the bill.

Naming a guild is tricky. It has to both reflect you and your guild as what they are, while not DIRECTLY reflecting your guild (try to avoid naming your guild after yourself, like "Dog's Guild," "Dog's Pirates," etc. It tends to be a turn-off for many pirates.) I guess I kinda got the lucky end of the stick, seeing as my goal for naming my guild was just to make it as close to the old guild's name as possible.

Just ask yourself when naming a guild:

1. Who am I?
2. What should my guild stand for?
3. What kind of players do I want to attract?
4. How will my guild be presented?

Following that, you'll get a good idea of what you want to name your guild.

Of course, worst comes to worse, find a dictionary, tear out all the pages, and throw darts to see what words they land on. Not usually a preferred method, however, because I'm sure nobody wants to name their guild "Dissected Stretcher Requiem."

[Countainer7b]

well thank you del but the dart thing might not end well also the naming the guild to the lowest common denominator isn't the worst idea offend no one and make sure people with speed chat can read it. It shouldn't reflect you much if you don't want it to revolve around you which is what killed my guild twice.

P.S. If you want the name conclave legion its all yours

[Dog Gunmorgan]

ok I guess I should've stated what I want the guild to be. not unlike SS or PNC I want my guild to have a close "family" atmosphere I want active members loyal officers/veterans NO drama (or as little as possible) and I want it to be fun for all the members while still keeping order and Puppy's pirates was not an option it was a example I was just saying I like the ryme to it like: puppy's pirates, shadow Sorcerors,and others...

[Countainer7b]

well don't ask me for help with a nonlogical name. i would have named the cell phone "portable devise for transmitting telephone signals through radio waves" not exactly catchy. If you need help with running the guild then ask me. ( i have a few innovative ideas about running a guild including a new system of deciding who to promote)

LOL I don't know Dog, Del has a pretty good suggestion there.....

thanks but that particular thing I think it would be best if I figured it out my own way I am open to ideas... (PM them to me if you want) but ultimately I will have to come up with my own system for promotions and the like.

and Sharky I don't really think fudge muffins hooray would quite be appropriate LOL

[SEAKING23]

Well my guild is kinda cross between a family guild and a military guild. When we guild someone, we look for several things:

Can follow orders

Is a one man army

Nice

Just plain epic

We dont look for activeness much, i mean, we have 451 people and it gets crazy if we have 100 on at a time.

Our guild name, masters in swords, fits us perfectly.

For your guild i would suggest pirate brother hood. seeing as your a dog, maybe Blood and fur or bloody fangs inc.

[Countainer7b]

well if you did you would be one of the first. every guild on this forum still kicking uses the same system of promoting members. (i calling the conclave legion dead in this case)
