Trying to think of a Tag..

[Ekade]

Edora and I are starting an RP guild based around the Temple of the Goddess.

I have a question.. How many letters are allowed in a guild tag?

I was under the impression that you have 5 letters. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Assuming we have 5 letters, here are some Tags we have come up with:
Gddss
Faith
Love
MTL (Mother, Teacher, Lover)
Pray

Opinions, ideas? So far I am liking "Gddss" the most.

[Ceka]

Definitely allowed 5 characters for tag. (MERCS)

My initial reaction was:

gddss - hated it
faith - I like it
love - hated it
MTL - sounds interesting
Pray - God no

*A bit of SNL humor.. no offense meant on the "hated it" responses*

[E-bo Obi]

I'm with Ceka on these. I would suggest Submit, but that is six letters. perhaps Obey? =)

[Dwilah]

Faith and MTL are my favorites, but what's most important is that it's something you identify to and that you like.

[Seret Sajet]

I'm with Dwilah on this one, Faith and MTL are my favorites.

How about <SOUL> Sisters of Undying Love?

[Ekade]

I like your ideas.. keep em coming.

Why do you guys hate "Gddss" so much? Just wondering.

[Ceka]

I assume that gddss is taken from Goddess.. I just dont like the all-consonant version of it. It doesnt roll off the tongue very well... makes me think of lizards and snakes.

I would prefer to use an acronym of some sort.. or a complete word that describes the "flavour" of the guild.

If you want to have "Goddess" incorporated in the tag, I would suggest GODSS.. or GDESS. The vowel just seems to add something.

I like the way you think Johrel. I really like the way you think.

I am putting that one on the list just to crack Edora up.


And Ceka, I like those suggestions. TY!!!

OMG!!!

But it does have a nice ring to it. I think there is a guild called SLAVE on another server.. I thought I came across that in looking through the responses to the Pex thread, or one of their sites.

Since you are creating this guild based on a 'religion' you should consider all the RL connotations associated with whatever tag you choose. I would personally stay away from stuff like <PRAY> because players may take that as a RL ministry rather than an IG one. <FAITH> sounds like a great tag but may have similar implications. No offense if we have any on the board, but I tend to hide upstairs when the Jehova's Witness come knockin. Just something to consider.

Oh, and same with <EKADE>. You see that tag you don't bother hiding. Just go out the back, get in the car, er speeder, and go. Just go.

Yes, I totally agree. I had the same issues with the generic but religious names like "pray" and "faith", etc. The last thing I want to do is have to explain to everyone that this is an RP religion, not a real one. In addition to having to deal with those people who blow a fuse anytime someone suggests religion.

As to your comments on the EKADE tag.. I think it is time you form a guild called DOO and we have us a guild war. :P

That'd be funny, just going into battle any time we see each other.

Just had a random thought...what if two guilds were set up for the BH system, where marks could join the non-BH guild temporarily. Can avoid the whole duel dilemma.

That would be a great way to solve the problem of duels, but I don't think people would be willing to drop their current guilds to do it. If the bounty hunter system really took off and a group of people played in it most of the time, I could see them using the guildwar mechanism for this. I like this idea a lot.
