Astor Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 TOR will be upon us by the end of this year (we hope!), and it's always been our intention to have an Official LF Guild, or two, if we get enough people playing on each side. We have set two up, LF Knights and LF Sith Knights, but these were placeholders we set up when the Guild program launched back in March, and I think you'll agree that those names aren't particularly inspiring, or even original - let's face it, they suck. Which is why we want your suggestions - you guys make LF what it is, and as this is going to be a guild for everyone on LF, it's only right that you all get to have a say and play a part in naming the guild. There are only a few guidelines - To keep things manageable, try to stick to one name each, or one name for each faction. No offensive names - that should be obvious, really. Assuming we get enough suggestions, this thread will close to new submissions on July 31st, and then we'll put the names to a vote. We look forward to your suggestions!

Miltiades Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 For the Sith faction, I was thinking of LFN Purebloods. I have LFN Nobles in mind for the Republic side, though I'm not as happy with that one. Alternately, dropping LFN in favor of Ahtonauts could make the names more interesting (Ahtonaut Purebloods and Nobles), but the Swampies may object to that.

Darth Avlectus Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Old Republic Phalanx Because we're a sort of tight knit bunch here at LF even among other SW fans. Skeptics of LF have said their part but LF has continued to stand and we still get people who join us. Republica Stormfront Those among the LF band here who are for the republic strike me as the kind to be at the forefront of a major war effort against anyone who may threaten the well being of their beloved society. Whether on the front lines or behind the scenes acting in a more cerebral manner, they love their republic. Also "Republica" is the name of a street on the planet Coruscant. There are those among the Republic who felt the loss and injustice at the sacking of Coruscant, now looking to take back the capitol from the Sith because they believe the Republic cannot coexist with the Sith Empire. Sith Shadowbloods Sounds kind of like a mysterious organization in the same way as clans of ninjas and exiled samurai were. 694th Imperial Covenant The number inspired by 1) the wavelength 694nm which is in the red region of the visible spectrum, known line of the lasing wavenength for Cr:Ruby lasers. Red is the sith lightsaber color of preference. 2) There are varying numbers of legions of Palpatine's empire during the original trilogy. 3) Covenant just sounds like it would work. Replace "Flying" with "Frying"? Fryers are a religious rank, right? "Friars" actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Avlectus Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I know. That wasn't a serious question. With a semantic and spelling difference you sure fooled me. Especially since you're a rather non believer. For the Jedi: Socialist Working Knights of the People's Republic of the Leninist-Engelsist Soviet [sWKPROLES] SHUT UP!!! For the Sith: Socialist Working Knights of the People Of the Soviet Socialist Empire [sWKPOSSE] Dude, wtf? Are you trying to blow our cover, comrade?

Liverandbacon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Republica Stormfront Those among the LF band here who are for the republic strike me as the kind to be at the forefront of a major war effort against anyone who may threaten the well being of their beloved society. This seems uncomfortably close to the real life Stormfront. They certainly believe that they're at the forefront of a major war against those who threaten their society. Unfortunately, they define 'those who threaten their society' as Jewish people and anyone who isn't white. Probably not something an LF guild would want to remind people of.

Unfortunately, they define 'those who threaten their society' as Jewish people and anyone who isn't white. Probably not something an LF guild would want to remind people of. Hm. Certainly wasn't my intention. I was referring to the storm of the war. Something unique and concise or at least with a nice ring to it is my thought. I'm trying to come up with something but most everything is too unoriginal or canny. Saber is playing with the idea of acronyms. League Advent Surge to Empower the Republic? [LASER] It'd be a laegue, at a new beginning (the advent), doing it in earnest with enough passion it'd be like a surging wave, inspiring others, and the Republic part should be obvious.

Jae Onasi Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Knights of Ahto or Ahto Knights for the Republic side. Ahto Empire or Ahto Sith for the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I forgot who suggested it (I think it was Mav) but what about The Order of the Hairless Wookiee?I don't recall that... but I don't doubt that it could have been me I didn't realise LucasForums was renamed AhtoForums...Well while I don't necessarily agree or disagree with an Ahto-centric theme for guild names, I do know that I most certainly do not want "LF" or "LFN" to be any part of the guild name. I don't have any names to pitch atm but I'll try to think of some, especially during my long trek home tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 @ Mav: agreed, but that wasn't what I was suggesting. That said, at this stage we're never going to have a guild simply because we can't come up with a name good enough when all we really needed was something simple like "Scions of LFN" or "LFN Knights" or whatever... Whatever we choose is gonna be LAME so may as well just choose something now and get it over with so we can set it up and get people on board.

Well I thought that was the point of the "placeholder" guilds/names that were set up way back when... We have set two up, LF Knights and LF Sith Knights, but these were placeholders we set up when the Guild program launched back in March, and I think you'll agree that those names aren't particularly inspiring, or even original - let's face it, they suck.So I figured we had already established that there's going to be an LF guild and that people that want in should say so and that this thread was just about... refining the guild name... /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 lol oh yeah... why haven't I joined one of those yet?

Everyone said they sucked. I guess I just don't have faith that someone will come up with something awesome... or at least something that doesn't sound like a joke name... You could always suggest one yourself. Anyway, some names taken from and inspired by the Star Wars universe - Red Watch Army of Light Bantha Squad The Irregulars Tython Rangers Nebula Flight Red Legion Sun Guard Steel Squadron Wildfire And there's tons more, but they we the least 'lame' sounding ones.
