GW2 GAFGuild | Community Thread

It was brought up in the other thread that an acronym for NEO and then the GAF tag would be neat, too. Something like:

Not Even Organized [GAF]

Or whatever someone more clever than me comes up with. It fits without having to repeat GAF GAF in the guild name and tag.

If we don't go for the whole acronym thing though I'd rather it just be:

NeoGAF [GAF]

Personally, I'm not too fond of the whole "Believe" tag GAF uses.

So in terms of the name for the guild. It has been brought up several times but it always seems like there is never a firm answer. So let's take care of it now. I have always felt like the [GAF] NeoGAF name was good and easy, it represented the site, and not something we would get bored with or want to change. Does anyone else feel strongly in another way. I saw a suggestion for [GAF] Believe which isn't bad at all either.

There's three ways we can go with this; a serious-sounding name using the GAF (or NEO) initials, something that uses the initials but sounds kind of funny (but not offensively so), or just "NeoGAF" or "Believe" for simplicity's sake. I think we're all agreed that "GAF" will be the guild tag.

Just throwing these out there to give some examples.

Serious Sounding:
Gilded Age Force
Gaming Age Front (since we're not a forum, technically)
Guard Against Foes
New Elite Order
New Elonian Order

"Cheeky" Names:
Gentlemen Ask First
Geeks And Freaks
Girls And Furries
Garfield and Friends (thanks, Shakala)

I'm fine with anything as long as it's not offensive or annoying. I would also be okay if we came up something that didn't have anything to do with GAF if it was really awesome. My old WoW guild was named "Evil Shenanigans"; it's not too goofy but kind of humorous.

Maybe we should have some kind of voting method, but it seems to me that would just end up with 500 different names nobody can agree on. I also don't want to just make this an officers/GM-only decision because everyone playing should have a say.

I'm definitely in for the Gaf guild. It'll be nice to have an active guild again. My GW1 one died a year or two in, so I went lone Ranger for the rest of my days.

Woot.

Gotta get that last point for HoM in GW1 though.

Maybe grind out for GWAMM.

Maybe

Do the HoM benefits apply to the April beta? If so, I need to get to work on finishing those soon.

I think that because we will already have a tag next to our names that says [GAF] we dont need our guild name to be NeoGaf. I think people will get the hint when they see [GAF] and they'll know who we are. We have had pretty big gaf guilds in alot of other games and i think its safe to say we are kind of known in the gaming community, not necessarily just for the gamers behind the gaf guilds but at least for people seeing the gaf name around in other games. So i think we should have a different cool and fun name like one of the ones you guys mentioned earlier. Those are my 2 cents on the topic :-D

Day 1! Playing on my days off, as I work upwards to 16 hour days. However, I don't work more than 4 days in a row, so I will be on often. About the same schedule as broom, 9pm-6am PST.

Maybe, select the few best ones and then let people vote from those.

For the hell of it, I'll come up with names. I'll tap into my crazy side first.

Golden Action Fleet (GAF)
Giant Acrobatic Flamingos (GAF)
Guiding Alien Fleets (GAF)
Guilds Always Fail (GAF)

More later...

I like Guilds Always Fail. Goes along with the theme of GAF guilds always dying.

I'm of the similar mindset, but I think using the acronym NEO makes more sense, if the guild tag will be GAF. Then you'd have N____ E___ O_____ [GAF]

I'm in!
Dark Age of Camelot veteran here (played it for ~3 years), can't wait to jump into the WvW stuff.

If there are enough european players wouldn't it be possible to create a "sister" guild on a european server to join just for the WvW? I'll have to try the beta first, but I fear things might get a bit laggy with all those players.

So much swag. If we're doing a funny guild name I'm all in favor for this one.

I like both of these.

Wish I could +1 my wife too :)

Well, given that a person can be in multiple guilds at once, I don't see how I could NOT want to join. :)

Isn't it a bit premature to have people marking their posts, though? No one has their character names yet!

Don't really need character names. Just trying to get an idea of how many people we're getting so we can know what we need in terms of officers, events, stuff like that. Never to early for organization :)

Also is there still a GAF presence in Guild Wars?

I delayed it for a while but going to to try to get my last 4 points I need to get 30/50 HoM.

50/50'd and GWAMM'd up, just waiting for launch.
Hoping you guys don't pick a lame name. Gaming Age Forum (or something similar) would be best imo.

I'm at a crossroad if I will be contributing to the guild. I'm not saying it is a "no", but at this time I do not want to represent gaf in any respect.

I'm still working on a few points. Not gonna get anywhere near that, but I've played a couple hours over the past few days.

Just to go ahead and add my input regarding the name, I like NeoGAF (GAF) best. Reps the site and the name won't get old after a certain period of time.
 
Can't wait. My primary guild'll likely be a small little RL one that I refused to let go of in GW1, but will spend plenty of time with you guys.

Alright so narrowed it down to these names for the guild. My favorite is in bold.

Gentlemen Ask First
Guilds Always Fail
Gaming Age Front
New Elite Order

All will have the tag of (GAF). I'll go ahead and announce the one we're going with on the next podcast. Throw out your opinions before then though so I can see what most of you guys like.
