Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Legion - awe inspiring and organised to the point of perfection
Fury - Relentless, ruthless and merciless
Virus - All consuming and lethal
Wolfpack - Tenacious and dangerous
All these are great alliance names that force people to think of a particular image aside from the fact they were militarily superb, it was all part of the fear factor.
However, the following mental image has never filled me with dread other than possibly having to listen to the theme tune to the film:
Xanadu - Olivia Newton John on roller skates

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I always associated Fury with blood for some reason. And the Empire from Star Wars thanks to listening to zhil.
PS Did mazz just call virus militarily superb?

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
hehe ... for some reason I decided to visit an old game I played the other day and found it still exists.
Biaised opinion for best alliance: Fury - but then I was Fury in the 2 rounds I played (round 2 and 3) and I have fond memories of the times.
Others... I liked Bluetuba ... even at their lowest, there members seemed to keep good humour about the game. I remember Neurozic in G6 in round 2 used to do a new Furby picture every week or so in honour of Fury beating the crap out of him. Furby in a microwave and many more hilarious pics.
Legion - probably the best organised alliance at the time. And I loved the logo and motto.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I liked the old, powerful names. Fury, Titans, Legion... and I always thought ViruS had some interesting implications. ofc names like Vengeance kind of carry on that tradition. 1up is cool, but such a goofy name, lol
And, of course, Blue Tuba for the random factor and the fun visual. I also seem to remember one allcomp when all of a sudden a pack of [MadCows] popped up from nowhere... THAT was pretty random.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Theese threads come back every so often
Virus - The name is just perfect for an online PC game imo.
Insomnia - What suits a hardcore alliance more?
Xanadu - Gotta love it!
VtS/Legion - Combined with all the banners and stuff, this name had a soul
Fury - Oldtimer. Simple and Genious.
My 5 favourite names. They are all real good. Theres also been lots of other cool names out there

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Rock obviously cause we have always been rock solid
Titans because their name just gave the impression of power
fury and legion their names inspired fear
xanadu similar to Titans
elysium and virus get honourable mentions because those alliance names were just cool

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Fury and VisioN first place for me.
Insomnia is very nice, too.
Legion and Xanadu are simply good because of what they mean in the world of PA .
And 1up just sounds really cool :P.
