Abhorrent Guild Names

<Aftermath> and <Awakened> are definitely amongst the least imaginative guildnames p99 has seen, which certainly qualifies them as crap. Not sure if boring and unimaginative are sufficient to rate the abhorrent tag, but I'm open to argument on the subject.

All Kittens seem decent in game. Many very nice players are in Kittens. I think their ball gag on forums by their GL is ridiculous, but that's not their fault.

This thread wasn't insulting anyone in any particular guilds, it was simply made to discuss names and <Kittens Who Say Meow> in itself is a rip from an older guild, <Knights Who Say Ni> so that's one reason I dislike the guild tag. The letters simply are not aesthetically appealing when you read the words over a players head. It looks clunky.

This is coming from someone that loves cats btw. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

<Aftermath> and <Awakened> looks smooth on the toon in the game, not too big and not too distracting and the words are appealing to say off the tongue. Both names also illicit deeper meaning and thoughts. Sure, they aren't thought provokingly imaginative to the point of blowing a mind, but they are nice enough and can mean different things.

I always liked <Nine> on SZ because the tag was relatively small, and gave them an evil connotation for some reason, in my eyes anyway.
