Poor, Poor Shaq

BRK » 03 March 2008 » In Guild »

shaq.jpgHere is a list of some of the more clever guild names we’ve run across in the Emberstorm battlegroup this past weekend.

You guys are nuts, you know that? Totally.

Unfortunately, we’re even crazier.

Ale Swillin Hippies (almost stopped right there, our backup-guild just might be penciled-in)

Thought Criminals (”Convicted Thought Criminals” would’ve gotten more cool points)

The Cake is a Lie (OK, so we finally looked it up)

Fist of the Unicorn (shouldn’t that be Hoof of the Unicorn, or is that the joke?)

Lords of Kobol (Battlestar Galactica reference?)

Totally unrelated, but seriously - can we just have some silence in our outer-space movies someday? 2001 had it right.

Zero Tolerance (”My Mom Says I Should Play Outside”, we just thought of that!)

My Sword is in a Horde (How about Rodney Dangerfield saying, “You scratched my sword!)

Bloodthirsty Canadians (there are other kinds?)

Blackflag (horde motel; they check in, they don’t check out)

Reality Check (”Reality Check Failed”, again, more cool points missed)

Dirty Half Dozen (Dirty Half Bakers-Dozen? The Funky Half Dozen?)

Azeroth Playmates (guild website URL, we demand it!)

Sagacious Noobs (this is all win, totally, but we also like Olde School Noobs)

That’s How I Beat Shaq - If you’re in this guild, or know someone who is, tell them to contact us. We must have an explanation. It’s a moral imperative.

    That’s how I beat Shaq is the name of an Arron Carter song.

  2. Erilar on March 3rd, 2008 1:08 pm

    Dang - beat to the punch. White kiddie rapper from a few years back. One of the “musicians” that Disney Channel or Nick was marketing down the throats of our poor kids.

    Joke’s on you, Disney - my 11-yr-old likes Rush and Metallica. /cheer

    (Disclaimer - not dissing rap. Big Beasties and PE fan here. Just save us from the mega-marketed crap these cable channels are shoveling at our unsuspecting youth! :D )

  3. Gromrot on March 3rd, 2008 1:18 pm

    One of my favorites on Bloodscalp is “Real Men of Genius”

  4. cgeorgemo on March 3rd, 2008 1:22 pm

    Two that I’ve seen around are

    “Victims of Undercity Elevators”

    and similarly named

    “Aldor Rise is High”

  5. Mageskinner on March 3rd, 2008 1:27 pm

    Our guild is called “Verge of Divorce”. :)

  6. Jet on March 3rd, 2008 1:33 pm

    Lots of good ones on Kul Tiras,including “Me So Hordey”

  7. Ralowae on March 3rd, 2008 1:44 pm

    I’ve seen “Me so Horedy” on Zangermarsh as well.
    I was one of the signers of the Brotherhood of Beef, which at least initially was an all tauren guild.
    Also seen:
    Bear Grylls bunny killers (from the discovery chanel show man versus wild)
    Hey this isn’t LOTRO (I’m pretty sure they’ve been made to change)
    Fat kids lag IRL

  8. Grezzk 'n Tusker on March 3rd, 2008 1:48 pm

    BRK: Go get the “Firefly” television series on DVD (cheap at Amazon) and follow it up with the movie based on the show: “Serenity.” Great writing, great acting and Silence in Spaaaaace.

    Just don’t think too much about science, though — the show is about the story, not the nerdery.

    Really, truly, a great show.

  9. Xaxain on March 3rd, 2008 1:49 pm

    How about,

    Get in the van, we have EPICS

    Random Latin Phrase

    Gnomeland Security

    Just some of my favorites.

  10. Bravehawk on March 3rd, 2008 1:50 pm

    In our Battle Group we see:
    Better than Your Main,
    Tickle Me Frank Stallone,
    Wellfare Epics,
    I’d Mana Tap That,
    Sapped Girls Can’t Say No,
    We Be OP,
    This is Your G/Fs Tabard,
    Hack N Slash Anonymous, and
    Naga Stole My Bike

  11. Aboo on March 3rd, 2008 1:56 pm

    My favorite (on Malygos) is “Your Mamma’s a Horde!”

    I haven’t seen any of them in a while though, so they might’ve been forced to change it. :(

    P.S. - Dana Dane was my first love of Rap… oooooh how bad it sounds now though! lol

  12. Kiya on March 3rd, 2008 1:56 pm

    Our guild is called “Furious Pantaloons”. We have confused info on how we were named from the founders, altho we know for sure that a lot of beer was involved.

  13. kunukia on March 3rd, 2008 2:04 pm

    Mmmm, Firefly, great show. Sadly canceled. /cry

  14. Jack Brown on March 3rd, 2008 2:31 pm

    Firefly good.

    I’ll be quite happy to dis rap. Beastly stuff.

    My all-time favorite guild name is on Runetotem: Riders of Lohan

  15. Feist on March 3rd, 2008 2:38 pm

    Most of Azeroth Playmates members are guys.

    Sad but true.

  16. Woggy on March 3rd, 2008 2:45 pm

    Bravehawk, I don’t suppose you play on Cyclone? A lot of those names look awfully familiar…

  17. andromalius and malphas on March 3rd, 2008 2:48 pm

    had a guild (still around, but pretty dead atm) on greymane named:

    Frostbitten Necroyeti

    (ispired by http://www.inm.acousticblackmetal.org/)

  18. Doomilias on March 3rd, 2008 2:53 pm
  19. David on March 3rd, 2008 2:56 pm

    >Fist of the Unicorn

    I assume this is a reference to Fist of the North Star…a comic/anime/live action movie

    >Lords of Kobol (Battlestar Galactica reference?)

    Yes this is a !BG reference. :)
    (Note: the new BG, while fantastic, is NOT Battlestar Galactica to me…after all Starbuck (while fantastic) is not a guy now…hence !BG for not BG…)

    And yes Firefly/Serenity rocks…

  20. Doogie2K on March 3rd, 2008 3:00 pm

    We have a guild called “Killer Kittens”, we had a “Murlocs Stole My Socks” (or was it “Murlocs Ate My Socks”?), as well as a “Murloc High Command”, though I know for a fact they’ve disbanded. Then the TB forum trolls have created a few joke-guilds, like “HI BILLY MAYS HERE” and “BRB SANDWICH OM NOM NOM”, though they’ve actually made a semi-serious raiding guild now, which amuses the heck out of me.

    Another off-server name that amused me was “Ctrl Alt Elite”. And everyone loves “Two Bit Horde”.

  21. BillyJack on March 3rd, 2008 3:00 pm

    the best one i have seen is “Unemployed”

  22. Znodis on March 3rd, 2008 3:07 pm

    My 2 favorites are:

    OMGLaserPewPewPew

    And

    Oh Look, Shinies!

  23. Lozenge & Nedbeatty on March 3rd, 2008 3:07 pm

    MY favorite guild on Aggramar is “STD’s are BOP”

    Socially conscience and funny as all H3LL!!!!

  24. Outofammo on March 3rd, 2008 3:08 pm

    I once heard tell of, but never saw, “Pirates of Ballsdep”. You know a name like that will get you trouble, but it is funny.

    I’ve also seen “Deeprun Tram Maintenance”. And an all gnome guild “Death From Below”.

    BTW, using angle brackets around guild names in this forum will make the names you type non-visible…

  25. Cotytto on March 3rd, 2008 3:12 pm

    We had a Sagacious Noobs,but they /gdisbanded last I heard.
    Other interesting guild names on my server.

    Calamitous Intent (from The Venture Bros. on Adult Swim)
    The Bearded Clam (need I even go there?)
    Storm Earth and Fire (they forgot the wind I guess?)
    Magic Camp (no clue where that one came from)
    The Flat Earth Society (seems to have swiped it from the real thing,google it if you don’t belive me)
    Cobra Kai (is John Kreese their GM?)

    There are others that have struck me as amusing at the time,but I don’t recall them exactly so I won’t list them.

  26. Mohgreen on March 3rd, 2008 3:18 pm

    Murloc Stole my Socks - Still active & Kickin on Thorium Brotherhood :D

  27. Grindurbonze on March 3rd, 2008 3:59 pm

    @Jack Brown

    “Riders of Lohan”?

    I have seen many cute references, clever and not-so-clever naughty allusions, but that is sheer scintillating genius. Brief, correctly spelled, literature reference, and below the cursory radar for naughtiness.

    wow! I’m in awe and want to join.

  28. Slamdance on March 3rd, 2008 4:09 pm

    Favourite of mine i havn’t seen for awhile

    ‘I PvP’d myself’

  29. z-man on March 3rd, 2008 4:10 pm

    I’ve always wanted an all Tauren guild and called it either Udder Madness or The Herd.

    Best one I’ve seen on my server was Gnomeland Security.

  30. siferbooze on March 3rd, 2008 4:13 pm

    Best on I’ve seen on Echo Isles is “Blood Bath & Beyond”.

    I almost /gquit right there to see if I could join.

  31. Priestitutte on March 3rd, 2008 4:25 pm

    The funny ones i’ve seen on lightning blade are
    Chilling with my gnomies
    My little Pwnie
    Drunk with guns

    Clan of redundancy clan (on other server)

    and the best of them all…
    Sapped girls don’t say no, on Onyxia too

  32. BM on March 3rd, 2008 4:28 pm

    On my server (Lightnings blade) we had
    “she likes my pvpness”
    “Click Here”
    “i crit in my pants”
    “oh look horde”

    and on my buddys server there is a guild called

    “Sharding your epics” - or something close to this
    “Oberweis” - my friends guild started by all tauren.

  33. Bradshaw on March 3rd, 2008 4:30 pm

  34. For the Pie on March 3rd, 2008 4:34 pm

    My former guild was named:

    Death by Healer.

    Cuz we all know it’s their fault.

  35. RR on March 3rd, 2008 4:37 pm

    On Baelgun I just saw “It Burns When I PVP.”

    We also have “Your Mother’s a Horde.”

  36. Zball on March 3rd, 2008 4:40 pm

    We have a “Gnomeland Security” on Moon Guard. Some others I like.
    “Murloc Massacre”
    “My Other Guild Disbanded”
    “We Run Like Kenyans”
    “Breakfast of Champions”
    “Cute Little Undead Girls”
    “Is The Bestest”
    “Leeroy Jenkins Army”
    “Is A Badass”

  37. Seabrat on March 3rd, 2008 5:22 pm

    Hmm…

    Well, there was a guild named “12inches Unbuffed” on Blackrock for awhile. Probably an all-girl guild ;)

  38. Avaric on March 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm

    One of my favorites is “Grand Theft Kodo”.

  39. Aerlian on March 3rd, 2008 5:28 pm

    On Shandris we have

    WoW the Musical
    Murloc Socks
    CritHappens
    Shandris Brewing Company
    Insert Guild Name Here
    Some Call us Tim
    LOTR Rejects

    Those are some that stuck in my mind. WoW the Musical is still one of my favorites.

    aerlian

  40. Jack Brown on March 3rd, 2008 5:30 pm

    @Grindurbonze

    Yeah, when I saw Riders of Lohan, I immediately screen shotted it.

  41. Zball on March 3rd, 2008 5:35 pm

    I also seem to recall some friends starting a guild of druids, priests, paladins and shaman. There were no healing specs. They called it “Learn First Aid.”

  42. Vai on March 3rd, 2008 5:49 pm

    “Hordecore Pwnography”
    “Emma Watson is Legal in the UK”
    “The Spears of Brittney”

    Yeah, welcome to Daggerspine…

  50. Chuque on March 3rd, 2008 9:22 pm

    One day, I shall make a guild called “Tourist”. Our mission statement will be to dress in our town clothes and visit enemy cities, with a bunch of flowers in one hand and a 12 Pound Mudsnapper in the other.

  51. Timnus on March 3rd, 2008 10:54 pm

    No nudie pix but here is the Azeroth Playmates url:
    http://www.azerothplaymates.com
    Besides like Feist said most of us are guys, and I don’t think a website of naked, male WoW players would be very popular.

    All dorf guild - DiggersWitAttitude

    I was in “I’ve Got a Horde On”
    Sadly, Blizz nerfed us a few months back

    …and Blackflag was a band too.

  68. uki on March 5th, 2008 6:10 am

    funnies guild I’ve seen was named “Ogien z Dupy”.
    that translated to english would be something between “fire-breathing a$$” and “I torched my f@rt” (guild leader told me he had about 50 PMs from ppl wanting to join in 10 minutes after he made the the guild - well I was one of them :P )

  69. Messyah on March 5th, 2008 10:34 am

    Still the best guild name I have ever seen in If Jesus had a Soulstone. ROFMAO!!!! That makes me laugh every time.

  70. MH on March 6th, 2008 9:28 am

    On Daggerspine (Europe):
    “Your mum is my epic mount”

  71. Yepamedna on March 6th, 2008 11:07 pm

    I can only think of one really memorable guild name from my server, but it’s a total winner:

    “Stunlock is for Pussies”

  72. Acila on March 7th, 2008 2:14 am

    Nor sure if it’s guild, but someone said it in Raid chat the other night

    “Show us your Noobies”

  73. Turdin on March 7th, 2008 9:53 am

    On Blade’s Edge
    the best one i have seen and can remeber right now is MythConceptions (after a very funny fantasy farce).
    other then that im in Ctrl Alt Elite on Blade’s Edge.

  74. Snipes on March 7th, 2008 5:49 pm

    Don’t know if it’s been posted already but my all time favorite is:

    “R Kelly PVPed on me”

    My friends and I started a horde guild called “Food Nutwork”. I’ve got “Bobbymindflay”, and the guild is headed up by “Thechairman”. We’ve also got a druid named Pawladean, and a paladin named “Masaharu (Morimoto)”.
