Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Anyone remember
OPA - Old Pharthes Alliance
I always thought that would be the ideal ally for me, Uthor, Cat and a few others I know.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Fury - short and appropriate.
Legion - I like the way it suggests that it is huge.
eXilition - Fitting for the way they jumped into the the fray to brreak 1up's streak. Also fitting cause they don't play every round, they have a break each time.
1up - Mario ftw.

You spoke the exact words I wanted to put out. I'm also really fond of "Hydra". Just I don't know, has that ring to it aswell.

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Well I joined Xanadu in r2 based purely on liking the name, so obviously I like that name.
I am also fond of the virus tag [=V=]. Anyone still have the logs of the meeting where that tag was decided?
I can't remember if it was me that made it up or if that's just my imagination.

You arent the only ones, infact it probally annoyed us at F-Crew more as it highlights our complete lack of imagination as well as our lazyness. I mean veneratio may not be a great name but atleast it shows a bit of thought and creativity
When we were putting the alliance together the name was a real stumbing block, in fact we didnt even come up with the name. As we didnt have a name I just used The Farnborough Crew as a placeholder on the website graphics and we just never got round to coming up with something more perminate.
What made things even worse was that in Round 3 we tried to rebrand the alliance as the name was too long and it wasnt considered edgy enough. We ran an alliance wise compitition and the best entry was choosen, the best entry being 'F-Crew' which lets be honest isnt really much better, its just a bit shorter.
Although at the end of the day after 16 rounds myself and pretty much everyone else has come to terms with the name even if it is weak, after all its your actions that count not your name

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I remember an alliance back in round 3 called Unholy, which I thought was rather clever at the time.
Best alliance name ever probably has to be Fury or Legion, although Legion lose points for also using a TLA (VtS) as well.
Worst alliance name ever is anything with random inexplicable capital or lower-case letters (FAnG, CeLL or, for that matter, eXilition).
Honourable mention must go to Blue Tuba for simply being an unforgettable name.

Ours is shortened through sheer laziness as far as I can tell (Vengeance -> VGN). Oh, and let's not forget the bastardisations of it such as VgN and VGn .

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
1up is actually a pretty terrible name. It's too short, isn't emotive, too childlike...
That said I like fury and wrath so please don't kill me zhil

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Xanadu
I used to read alot of cartoons when I was a kid and I remember Xanadu as the home of Mandrake (also series name). It was a cool place.
It's from the 60`s I think.

Are you serious? Xanadu was the summer capital of the mongol empire under Kublai Khan.

A2 hasn't been an admin for a year. I can't see any support requests for a password or e-mail asking for one either.
I can't find any planet registered or unactivated with their nickname as Oreo, or their ruler name as Oreo, or Oreo in their e-mail (I think)
If you're using hotmail (or some other services) the password now seems to be junk mailed :/

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
1up is one of the best names Ive ever seen. Every single internet community around every game has alliance names like Vengeance, Fury, Insomnia et al You wouldnt believe how many Wolfpacks there are... 1up is short and catchy, and its the perfect name for the alliance in 1st place

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
I like many names!
The names give you a sort of 'feeling' or 'sound'...like:
Wolfpack, Fury, Legion: Sound agressive, I like that
Newdawn: Sounds decent/solid in a way, like that too
(Wolfpack aslo i think)
Angels: Sounds fresh
1up, Xanadu: Just cool, surprising
Some others i don't like are:
Vengeance, Virus, ToT,APA, ToF, ROCK, Subh... don't know why, they just dont have that 'sound'

hirr
Classy and unique - doesn't scream for attention like so many names (Vengeance, Furious Angels, etc etc etc) yet attracts it nonetheless. The no caps is also cool.
It also fits so well - a different type of name for a different type of alliance.

Well it was going to change to Odium when I was trying to make DLR a 100% Fury BG instead of a split BG of ND and Fury.
But ND took us over lol, guess cute bunnies own big terifying dragons

Re: What Alliance Has The Best Name
Some Notes:
Legion = VtS (some people think they are two alliances)
Sith = BlueTuba Junior (no idea what the name connection is)
Wrath = Fury Junior (Feel the [Wrath] of [Fury])
RB (ReBorn) - Just because it was fun to see how quickly the tag was removed after a Battle Group was found cheating and the whole game declared war on them :P (I was in a tagged galaxy too...)
Fury - First alliance I feared/admired (the friend who introduced me to the game told me only one thing, "Dont hit Fury"). But their logo was second only to the Legion Eagle.
Legion - The best logo by far, most alliances these days dont even produce an identity logo.
Concordium (WaC, We Are Concordium) - What a cracking TAG....
ROCK - Been around for ages (read YEARS), and never mentioned.
