Possible Alliance Names

While its a good suggestion, I will tell you that the greeks culture during that time was far different than today.


For one, homosexuality was only widely accepted between an older male and a pubescent boy.


In other words to name yourself after it would kind of make us look like pedophiles, granted the general population has no idea about that... but it won't take long if we ever got large for people to start making fun of us.

Personally I think the alliance should be named Stonewall, because it represents the oppression between the law and discrimination of gays. It was a very tough battle at the start, and without the stonewall riots we would not be as far today as we are now.

The Mattacini

During the 1950s, it would have been dangerous and illegal to register any kind of pro-gay organization. The founders of the first major gay rights groups had to protect themselves by using code.

The small group of gay men who created the Mattachine Society in 1951 drew on the Italian tradition of street comedy in which the jester-truthteller characters, the mattacini, revealed the flaws of pompous characters representing societal norms.

I think we should wait to form alliances until we know the structure of other guilds a little bit better. If it so happens that we do want to join Gayme0n and RoughTrade, then we can join their alliance after a while. However, if we find that we are super compatible with another guild that is more than okay with our LGBT friendly-ness(?) then maybe that is the guild for us. What i am saying is that we don't want to find ourselves in an uncomfortable alliance that we don't honestly enjoy. just food for thought :D!

I like the Sacred Band, but have devs confirmed alliances will be a thing? I haven't heard anything about it, and in fact vaguely remember them saying they wouldn't be included at launch.

Although we might not be able to manage an alliance in game right away - it can always be managed by other means.

Stitch posted the "Server Communities" link last week that gives an example of one community that's going to create an in game guild to serve as an alliance until the real thing comes out.

I like both Sacred Band and The Mattacini. I was in a DAoC guild called Sacred Band - but oddly enough if was pretty straight.

Obviously the Priscilli.

Because wasn't Priscilla Queen of the [Crystal] Desert? ;)

OMG I ALMOST PISSED MY PANTS! :woohoo:

That made my day....I'm still laughing....I had forgotten all about that movie and here it is as a possible alliance name.....that was good!

Glad you enjoyed it. :) Heck, I'm just glad someone got the joke.... Speaking of names, I love "Siafu," I think I've watched 100 Nat Geo specials about army ants. So cool.

I think working with the Synergy alliance would be a big plus for us, especially if they are inviting the other LGBT guilds. If the offer arises, being in a large alliance could only be beneficial. We would get the inside track on big WvW movements, but also be in easy contact with Gayme0n. I think it's great!

I was actually hoping that the alliance system would be similar to the guild system, it would really allow guilds to keep an open line of communication with whoever they want: I.e. Synergy alliance would have it's own chat along with the lgbt alliance having it's own chance

this is interesting...thanks

I don't know about the alliance name XD but I definitely vote for Thrumdi's alliance video idea. Yes, just yes! XD

Well, if we're gonna do a video, we'll need one of those snazzy logos. So, I mocked one up. :kiss:
