I did a quick search on "The Order" and there are about a bazillion (13 pages) of guilds with the name "The Order" in them.
I suggest something about the military (watch, Shadow will call me a homo) but I suggest something using Battallion, Brigade, Regiment, Platoon, even Squad...
Guild rank could be straight out of the book...Private, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, etc.
The Angry Beavers Apocalyptic PWNIES! The Riders of Lohan (LOL) Ding Fries are Done!
Now for some more serious names I like Legion of xxxxxxxx (doom, darkness, Light, destruction, might etc.) Knights of xxxxxxx Or how about a single word names like Relentless Legendary Legendkillers

25 pages of guilds named "Legion of"
17 pages of "Knights of"
I wouldn't mind a one word name, but nothing childish like N00bKillaZ!!!111 or some stupid shit.
I think we could find a good one from the Magic the Gathering lore...
Exalted Avengers (i like this one alot) Knights of Virtue Virtuous Champions/Guardians/Heros Vindication Sanctus Luminarium (holy light in latin)
I also do like OIL, and we could keep that.

I actually like just plain old "NonCompliance" or NC for short?
the ones I threw up yesterday that are now missing, was a twist to one of Ix's names... "Corvus Corax" is the genus & species of the Raven. It just happens to be one of my favorite latin names for critters.
I liked the latin theme so found a translator...
Amicitia = friends...
and random others I threw in there..
persevero = to continue or perservier infinitas
resiliance came to mind
I think this should be up to some vote in the end, mabey try to include more people for lots of input.. We should just keep OIL for the moment imo.

I dont know about NonCompliance. Thats kinda just "our" thing, and this guild will be including alot of people we dont really know. It would also show that this guild is mostly controlled by us, which isnt what you wanted Joe.
But, if Klauso likes that then i say go for it. I really like Exalted Avengers, or some latin name, like the one joe or i gave.

I actually like OIL alot more now that i think about it, just because of the shore name "OIL". It seems like that always helps with publicity of a guild if there is a memorable short name, like GoDS, DV, IO, etc...

We couldn't come up with anything else when we were creating it, so we ripped off a guild that Nightowl was in when we played a mud a long time ago.
I definitely think if we change, it needs to be something that's memorable, or can be shortened into something memorable, like "OIL"

Not sure, but the translator made one up...must mean little cut up potatoes deep-fried.

OK here are my thoughts on a name. I will precede it with my thoughts on what a name should embody.
A name should command respect and also be somewhat in line with our goals as a guild. It should also provide a sense of pride for its members. It cannot be an "inside joke" or "inside thing", at least not if we want to grow, because people invited to be part of the inside thing always feel like outsiders. A guild name should also represent the kind of members you want inside the guild. For example, if you're guild name is "Thugz 4 Life" don't expect to be recruiting Rhodes Scholar's. So without further ado let me tell you some of my ideas:
1. Rebirth/Reborn: Figure we are the second coming of MGS for the most part, we survived that catastrophe, we should be proud of that. 2. Journey/Path of Kings: Def. commands respect. 3. Funkmaster Klauso & the Whore Birds: I think the name speaks for itself. 4. Onslaught Brigade

My official suggestion that ive singled out as my favorite of the ones i have thought of is "Vindication". I like the word, the sound of it, and the meaning of the word holds alot of significance in relation to the whole situation.
vin·di·cat·ion - 1)To clear of accusation, blame, suspicion, or doubt with supporting arguments or proof: “Our society permits people to sue for libel so that they may vindicate their reputations” (Irving R. Kaufman). 2)To provide justification or support for: vindicate one's claim. 3)To justify or prove the worth of, especially in light of later developments. 4)To defend, maintain, or insist on the recognition of (one's rights, for example). 5)To exact revenge for; avenge.

I was thinking same thing over lunch... several people mentioned Phoenix because of the rebirth motif, but 1 guild has it already, and I think its a little unoriginal..
I like Kyrill's quoted above... and in the same vein I thought
Arise
just popped into my head...
also...

I think I've generally heard that people are a little more interested in a cool name than a silly one.... Here is a quick list of the main suggestions.. There were lots last night in /guildchat, but I didnt track them... so keep posting suggestions if you wish...
Arise Vindication Rebirth Reborn Afterbirth Onslaught Brigade Path of Kings Subitus Dolus Ruina = Sudden Guild Destruction Ding! Amicus es Perfectus = Ding! Fries are Done (The)Founders [with or w/out the "the") Amicitia = friends Resiliance Persevero = to continue or perservier Infinitas = Infinity Relentless Legendary Legendkillers Judicium = Judgement Infinite Vindication Wrath Fallen Eternal Devastation Valorious Union The Lost Crimson The Chosen

Dude... Afterbirth? Are you serious. That's nasty. Who suggested that shit?
Vindication is a solid name. Always loved that word for some reason, and the meaning is definitely fitting. My 2 cents.

I could go with Vindication. Afterbirth is a totally cool name, we will be synonomous with Placenta!
Another name I was thinking of was Plan B. So people could say "Hey I didn't get into Nexus so I went with Plan B"

I dont like that, because for some (actually alot) of people, this was plan A.
Are we still going to have a vote even though most people seem to like Vindication, including Zaul?

I think we should have like 10 choices and then run a poll in like a week from now, once all the ex-mgs get in and get acclimated.
I think they should have a vote in it, since they are pretty much the backbone of what we have now. I know some people including myself didn;t like HIO because we had no choice in the name and we were told we weren't changing it.

10 choices is a little much. We can probibly narrow it down to 5-6. Otherwise, considering we only have like 30 players, there wont be a clear descision.
It can be done earlier than in a week. I was thinking we should start the voting now since we have most of the ex-mgs members we want. Maybe close the voting on Sunday night.

OK i'd be all for starting the voting. At least once we decide on a name we can start the process of recruiting needed classes.
Hey has anyone heard from Macten/McGuirk? He'd be an awesome addition but I haven't seen him online. We really need a dwarf priest for Ony/Mags.

Yeah we could leave the voting open all weekend and that would drive people to the forums.

First we need to organize the website a little better. No one knows where the REAL forums are because there is no link to them currently. There is a link to these ones, however, from noncompliance.com/wow which i thought was going to be our main site.
Once the PHPNuke template is there i can start working on it.
