How come that all the noob guilds have lame fantasy names, while guilds that hold HoH usually have fun and original names like "Melted Chocolate Bunnies" ?

because they couldn't think of a good name, as for my names not being original, I couldn't find a single guild with the word "ankh" or "avatar", so it isn't that unoriginal

The Immortal Ankh - if I have to choose one.. Knights and Avatars are used far too often.. and you want something short, catchy, and memorable for that World Championship trophy...

Number three definately seems to stand out, I'd go with that one.

I concur -- Immortal Ankh or Ethereal Ank are more original than the knights or avatar theme.

If I had to go along with your "An..." theme: How about "Ave Antares"?

If it has to be one of the ones you mentioned, I would go for number 3 also.

I would also vote #3, as that one sounds the most original. You know how GW players are about originality...

ex:
Player #1: Hey! That's a good build over there. I should try it out.
Player #2: OMG! Stop being a noob and copying everyone else's build! Go away you little noob go back to Pre-Searing you can't do anything anyways!

Maybe a little too intense ^^.

BTW, what's with you and Ankh? Just wondering.

How about some Latin sayings?

Mellita, domi adsum (Honey, I'm home)
Vescere bracis meis (Eat my shorts)
Stercus accidit (Poo happens)
Meliora Cogito (I strive for the best)
Die dulci fruere (Have a nice day)
Veni Vidi Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)

I do not know Latin and have taken these off the web!

Guilds don't hold the HoH, HA teams which are named after the leader of the group...I.E debbie loves power's team has Won in the HoH when that message comes up on screen it's because debbie loves power (a player) team won :P even though they're all in the same guild probably.

erm.. actually. I'm fairly sure that if all 8 members of a HA team are from the same guild, than the announcement says that Guild's name specifically and not the leader's name.. though I'm not positive.

Not always, anyone who has ever played tombs knows that guild teams show as the guild's name at the beggining of a match.

on the naming subject..

does anyone know how Alliances will be named?

my Guild is Devils Scorpions, so if I start an Alliance, will the Alliance be called 'Devils Scorpions Alliance' or something like that?

and will the be an ingame tag letting people know which alliance any one person is part of ?

Also, a quick check of Guru's guild directory shows:

Avatar Legion

I think there all good ideas, also consider the tag. I think the tag is sometimes more important then the name. people dont see the name as much as the tag. I would also like to add that when your first starting Pre is a good spot to recruit. Exp players are hard to get when starting, while new players seem to want, to just find someone to help them learn. Good Luck with the guild hope to see one of those names on the ladder =)
