So we discussed in raid tonight the idea of creating a new guild for the merged raid team with TBT. It would help consolidate raiders, and encourage more communication between the two parts of the raid team. Any ideas, troubles, or guild name ideas can be discussed here.

Has it been determined which guild the guildmaster for the new guild will guild guildy guild?

I think you understand what I'm asking here. Basically, I'm asking guild.

I propose we name the guild Moonrise Kingdom.

I also have questions about how the new guild will be run.  Who will be guild master?  Officers?  Policies?  Et cetera.

Are we moving everyone's alts there, or is this for raiding mains only?

I think that overall it's probably a good idea, since there is a bit of an us vs. them thing going on.  Not in a hostile way... but it's there.  Hopefully hanging out together in a guild all the time will strengthen relationships with everyone.

I do think that it sucks that our raid progress will be in the new guild while all our previous achievements are in the old ones.  And we'll have to grind out our guild rep again.  And we'll have to remember that there's a 1 hour delay when mailing items to someone's alt if it's left behind in the old guild.

Also, what's going to happen to the social members in our guild?  I know that I have several friends (and a husband) who have characters in our guild for at least occasional socializing.  Are they going to be allowed and/or encouraged to move with us if they want?  Some of them might not be too happy about suddenly finding themselves in an inactive guild, I don't know.

If the raid alliance is successful, I feel like what will probably happen is that we will all just gradually migrate to the new guild and the old guilds will fall into disuse and slowly die off.  (And if it's not successful there will be a messy break up while everyone moves back to the old guilds or moves on completely.)  So if we're going to do this, we should do it right and lay a strong guild foundation in the beginning, not just treat it like some random place to put our raid team while we figure stuff out as we go.

We could have the greatest, most amazing guild name anyone has ever thought of and still crash and burn if the important stuff isn't hammered out.

The idea, as I understand it, is that raiding mains will essentially be required to switch (I mean, it won't be phrased so heavy-handedly, but the idea is that all the raiders will be there) but beyond that, it's entirely up to each individual character. If you want to switch your alt over, you can. If you don't, you don't have to. If a social member wants to switch, they can. If they don't, they don't have to. I mean, they will want to, because the new guild will have a far better name, but still...up to them.

As for guildmaster, that hasn't been determined yet, but I imagine officers in TG and TBT will be officers in the new guild. We seem to have very similar policies in TG and TBT, so I don't anticipate any changes to business as usual on that front.

It will suck to leave our guild achievements behind, but at least all your raid progression will follow you on your character. Guild rep doesn't take all that long to re-accrue, as I recall from the last time I switched guilds (ahem, awkward). And there's not much use for it right now, so I'm sure you'll be exalted by the time you need it.

Guild rep is crazy easy to get.

I don't mind footing the bill for a new website and changing over our vent server to thatraidingguild.typefrag.com

Both us and TBT have silly guild names.  TBT I believe is "Tacos Beer Tits".

Do ppl want a more serious name?

If by "serious" name, you mean one of those all-business names like "Ascendance" or a Latin phrase, then no. I would like a more attractive or evocative name. It could be something simpler, like "Spice Traders," or something more exotic like "Silken Dagger" or even something whimsical like "Dragonfly Armada." I wouldn't call any of those particularly serious, but more distinctive and interesting than "That Guild" or "TBT."

I would like to avoid pun/joke names, personally.

From our previous thread regarding guild names:

<Felweed dealers>

<Great Guild Name Here>

<Unknown>

<For Lease> 

<Your Ad here>

<Victorious Secret> 

<Aftermath>

<Bad Karma>

Random things from my brain while I eat at lunch:

<Reserved>

<Stands in fire>

<Royal Apothecary Society>

There's a guild on our server cluster with a name I think is pretty good, "Exotic Curse."

I'm not saying we should murder them and take their name, I'm just saying that I consider a good example of a guild name.

How about we go with a serious and regal guild name like <Shanthi>?
