Abhorrent Guild Names

[d3r14k]

What is the worst / God-awful / despicable / generic / shittiest guild name you've had the displeasure of seeing in brackets above someone's head?

A song on the radio this morning reminded me of a guild back in Live on Druzzil Ro called <Hamhockers>, which is a colloquialism for boobs, I guess. I always pictured these idiots as 12-year-olds who hadn't seen their first pair or ... well ... 40-year-olds who hadn't seen their first pair either.

DESPICABLE!

I suppose one that I found dumb on p99 was <Super Friends> and I had a pal in this guild, by all accounts it was an awesome guild in it's prime too. I just found the name really juvenile sounding.

I am not fond of <The Second Sons> because of it's direct ripping from GoT.

<Dawn Believers> is highly unimaginative to me.

Now that I think of it, all the low tier guilds have rather blah names.

Newest one I seen is <Corrupted Souls> and I am not fond of that one either.

The best guild names actually seem to be on the top tier raid guilds on the server. I think <Aftermath> and <Awakened> both are cool names.

<Asgard> was a cool name.

Basically all the noob guilds on P99 have crappy or at best average names.

Begs the question: Are guild names only bad when they are full of noobs? If Aftermath or Awakened with their current rosters was called Dawn Believers or Corrupted Souls, would it be more appealing because they were taking out top end content consistently?

That's actually a valid thought and I have had it myself before...

With that in mind, I don't think <Kittens Who Say Meow> would ever sound awesomely badass even if they were on top of the server.

And... I have thought to myself when seeing a noob guild with a cool name that they had a cool guild name.

Answering your question, I do not think conquering a server makes the guild name sound much better.

Personally I like Aftermath, Awakened, Asgard, Inglourious Basterds (even though it was ripped from a great movie it still aesthetically appealed to my eyes).

On the PVP servers I recall <Raging Rainbows>, <I Like Pie>, <Nine Daggers of Death>, <Flowers of Happiness>, <Ruin>, <Black Crown>, <Nine> which had some gnome rogue named Herb that kicked everyone's ass, <Curse> only PVP guild on Zek that player killed anybody and said fuck anti-PVP guilds/players, <Destiny of Zek> which had a bard named Sadko and some cunt barb shaman that lead DOZ, <Black Prophecy>, <Tides of Wrath>, and that's all that came to me just now that was so many years ago.

I know this thread isn't about favorites but I always liked <Gank You Very Much> from my world of warcraft server

<Kittens Who Say Meow> is a cleverly named guild full of reasonably decent people, the overwhelming majority of whom are sane enough to have no interest in being the very special sort of nerds who inspire laughter and mockery by styling themselves as "awesomely badass".

<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.
