The Randomly Generated Guild Tag

Category: Player POV

So, by now you’ve all read the latest Daedalus, right? Right? Good.

By far the funniest bit Nick has included in this one is the Guild Tag Generator. Every time you hit that page, you get 100 randomly created tags back.

Guild names below are generated from a grammar described here and with a weighted vocabulary drawn from about 22,000 guild names from 5 World of Warcraft servers. This guild name generator is a part of the PARC PlayOn Project.

In the spirit of Foton, I present to you some of my best finds from playing with the tool:

  • <Champions of Nuclear Festivities> – Don’t get too close, listen for the clicking.
  • <Dragon Shenanigans> – Shortsheeting Onyxia, egging Blackwing’s lair, etc.
  • <All Galactica> – Genetic engineering is the topic in /gu.
  • <Cult of the Unsung Partners> – A guild entirely made up of WoW widows bitching about their partners.
  • <Legion of the Tokies Azeroth> – Alternative uses for plants is the order of the day in /gu.
  • <Tower of the Kill Brigade> – Really stupid RP Guild. “We members of the Tower of the Kill Brigade to smite you down, evil no-good evil do-er!”
  • <AVERAGE> – “Uh, yeah, I guess I’m okay with grouping up.”
  • <SCHADENFREUDE> – “I dunno what it is, but there’s something about them I can’t define in English.”
  • <Illusion of Shaman Death> – Tell me about it. Damned Dranei.
  • <Gods of Craig Degrocco Peak> – Sounds like a really lame Pantheon, really. Lame mountain, too.
  • <The Moon Happieness> or <The Fearless Maffia> – You just know whoever started that guild is 30 and should know how to spell. Stay away from these guys.
  • <Azeroth Azeroth> – The planet so nice they named it twice!
  • <Butchers of the Nerf Paladins> – A guild name and a message! How topical!
  • <Brotherhood of the Guild Name> – Now that’s just lazy.
  • <Crusaders of Angst Filled Tribe> – At least they’re honest.

Then we have the weird ones, which I think need no explanation:

  • <Felines of Cheap Asian Despair>
  • <Cabal of the Cold Cow>
  • <Meat Ambassador>
  • <Funeral Idiot>
  • <The Path of Mild Bees>
  • <The Batman of Sandfury Lane>

And finally, my chosen tag for a new guild: <The Omglazerkittensmewmew>
