Ward Against Gaile Gray [Wa] (15th in ladder)
I'd like to personally shake hands with those guys. I smell a ban incoming here (after all, they even banned ghayskull, how could they ignore such a name), but the name was worth it.
I'm looking forward to see a Guild named "Nothing Against Honest Farmers", which is, in case some of you missed it, the famous sentence Gaile Gray posted here before Anet nerfed the hell out of any farmer and farming place on the face of Tyria. I'd like you to notice that the Underworld is the only place in the game where monsters (Nightmares) spawn even though you don't trigger the spawn point. This is a brutal way to nerf farming, using a mediocre, visible, pathetic deus-ex-machina expedient, not to mention this makes the UW ride unnecessarily more difficult for PuGs.
Divagation aside, I'm wondering if Anet is exaggerating in its puritan frenzy. This topic has been stressed to death in the past (some of you probably remember the nickname "We Todd Id" and the 6+ pages thread that came out of it), but I still think Anet's standards are too high. There's a thin line between funny and gross, but the devs don't seem to see it. If a funny name can be interpreted in the worst way, it WILL BE interpreted in the worst way.
It's like banning a european player named "Katrina" only because he bears (maybe by coincidence, maybe he always called his female characters in MMOrpg "Katrina") the name of a hurricane that recently devastated New Orleans.
It's the kind of dumb censorship you can see on american tv, and the most idiotic "pg rating" on the face of the earth.
Best guild name ever

I take it you guys don't farm?
Because the only thing nerfed is the price of items. It's hard as hell to sell stuff any more.

I don´t think they are going to ban Wa´s name. Gaile Gray on other forum posted that she takes it as fun

Oh and to Numa, I don't know how you can say that when Riverside's been nerfed to death (and once again, made terribly more difficult for PuGs as a consequence), Prophet's Path now has new, annoying spawn points for Rockshot Devourers (they're everywhere) and the Underworld is the only place of the game where monsters spawn without triggering their spawn area, thus making the ride an unforgettable experience for PuGs.
These Wa's are nice players anyway. I happened to play against them in GvG, alas, losing (head to head till the end, but then they were a little bit more coordinated in timing and deservedly won) and I can't say they lacked in sportsmanship or sense of humour. After all, with a name like that..
Regarding other famous guild names, my favorites were "Rurik Dies" (the name with a spoiler, hah) and "Bearded Ladies". Now "Dialup Users" [LAG] is among the funniest names, to me.

It was pretty OBVIOUS that she was making fun of Farmers...
All those things were full of irony

And that whole Ghayskull thing... even if it was a way around that certain word, doesn't it also have a meaning of playful and lighthearted?

Gotta get someone who speaks Cantonese to translate that but it wouldn't sound funny in English.
It does in Cantonese though.
I saw someone recruiting for Erotic Decapitations once.
Now thats just...weird.
It just sounds necrophilic.

I've fallen out of my chair laughing at a few names I've seen for guilds advertising in Lion's Arch. Some people have the most amazing sense of humour.
I still laugh when people comment on my PvP monk, who is named 'Kinky Fetishes'.
Aparently someone reported me for the name... but no ban yet so I'm guessing the devs have a good enough sense of humour to appreciate the brilliance of it.
I've seen many names that are quite worse anyways.

In honour of some of the more mainline guilds present in the community, I must point out that both "Idiot Savants" and "Sissy Boys" are pretty clever (particularly the former).
Also, I am quite fond of the tongue-and-cheek aspect to the Idiot Savants tag, IQ.

I would never want to be beaten by sB - it would be humiliating to be owned by a bunch of sissy boys wearing bright yellow and pink capes >_<
Bahumhat

romO
sissy boys dont play tombs much. and when they do they dont try very hard, nor do any of the top guilds. beat them in gvg and then you can be proud ^^

I used to be in that guild, and in fact we won the hall a few days during European prime time hehehe
but that was a few months ago. Our leader moved to another game (FABLE) one officer moved to [sE], one is now in [LICH] and I'm myself in [pRp] and the rest of the people went off and a couple stay active. Oh boy... good old times...
