Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
surely this should be AD?
And I think "Appocowoco" is better than any other alliance. reputation, history, etc

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
BlueTuba, just for sounding completely irrelevent, yet amazing.
And Elysium, but thats more for the slogan thing attached to it.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Surely everyone's just going to nominate their own alliances?
Certainly I think Vengeance and one of its predecessors, Ultra Violence, have kick-ass names. 1up deserve credit for the Mario theme. Deus Ex Machina was a very fitting name for Deus.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I liked a lot of the old names, alliances that had mostly quit by the time I arrived.
For some reason, I always liked 'Silver' and their Ag tag. Fury, Legion, Elysium and Titans were all cool too.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Most allies are bound to have a cool name tbh. Wouldn't make sence to name your ally something really crap.
I personally like: Tides of Fire (maybe caus i'm in it, but i still think it's a cool name), Fury, Titans, Vengeance, ...
I wonder what people think is the worst ally name ever?
(btw, i think this thread should be moved to AD)

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
exilition
\Ex`i*li"tion\, n. [L. exsilire to spring from; ex out + salire to spring, leap.] A sudden springing or leaping out. [Obs.] --Sir T. Browne.
Fury, Xanadu, OuZo, Ministry, Vengeance and Wolfpack are all quite good names. Furious Angels is great as well.

Obs. means obsolete, but thats' from Oxford English Dictionary.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
It's not exactly the most inspirational ever.
Ours is pretty handy on retal nights, plenty of room for slipping 'vengeance' into every other sentence. I love Deus Ex Machina and the way it played PA. Fury is...well...fury

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Wasn't around to see Fury or Deus ex Machina play the game. But they sound cool. But I prefer SiN, safety in numbers doesn't really sound cool I admit, but the tag is so freaking SEXY!

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I always liked Fury most as ultimately, I think a good name should be appropriate, memorable, simple and original. Fury was all those things. Most alliances have names from something they looked to for inspiration. They looked for an existing theme to fit their alliance rather than come up with their own unique theme.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
LDK : for playing in the alliance for years and never learning what it meant
Ultra - Violence is one of the alliance names I always liked, and my own alliance back in r2 or summit - The Pink Reapers. Got to love that name for my nub alliance
Fury, Legion, Elysium and Xanadu are also great, they got a -ring- to them... or whatever

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I like Xanadu, because I read a book once about a toxic waste dump in the future called Xanadu, where convicts were sent to serve their sentences. The fact that it was feared by the outside world, deadly and mysterious always caught my imagination when i heard the name in game.

Fury - appropriate, simple but with layers.
and short enough that it never needed to be abreviated.... abreviations suck.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I do agree with the abreviations observation... however, NoS should, MUST be the exception to this Tis, not only for what it stands for, but also for the acronym suggestive powers: us (not U.S.), ours, etc.
But yeah, after them, Fury is BY FAR the best name.
(by the way, I really dislike the name "1up" [when it first came up I thought it was going to be a 1 round thing, but then it got stuck :/ ]
Don't take me wrong, I love the "alliance", I just dislike the name, especially when you guys don't make it UP ther.)

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Legion - they had a the best logo i have ever seen and the name just sounds cool
Xanadu - a real ring to this name plus i loved the alliance
Bull - not an ally but a group of 1337 Xanadu gals, had the best slogan "Hit Harder" and the various version
"Hit Harder FFS" "We'll Hit you Harder" ect
and i also like the Dragons name with the cool D i cant do it on an Australian keyboard but i like there slogan to "Together we stand divided we Fall"

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Xanadu and Blue Tuba.
Also LDK somehow, the name just oozes fear and destruction. Also I like the English unofficial meaning of the abbeviation. Lifeform Designed to Kill. I thought the real Lithuanian name translated in English means something like The Lithuanian Duke, not too sure though.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
There are def good and bad alliance names. Names like Fury, Legion, Xanadu and Elysium are good and inspiring I'm sure to their members. The name of an alliance is of course important to help members identify with it and what the alliance stands for and as a good way to tell the universe what you're about.
My favourite alliance name has always been Century though, I just think it's a really swish name for an alliance.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I think there are loads of good ally names WP, SIN, Fury, Vengance and Angels, and many more but if i had to pick 1 and say thats the best i think i'd probably choose Wolf Pack
As to the worst ever alliance names, again there are plenty to choose from but i'd vote veneratio as the worst name ever.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I always loved the FAnG the fact that it was short for Furious Angels Only broaden the names appeal for me (didnt find out till r8 that it was actually short for furious angels next generation, but oh well)
The name Blue Tuba always brought a smile to my face also.
