A New Clan Name

Arrawin

I think our clan name sucks to be perfectly honest. I would like to propose a new name. Lets be honest here, Boards is a silly name for a team.

I have thought on it a bit and like the name The Wild Geese.

The Wild Geese were mercenaries from Ireland who fought in wars all over Europe.

Thoughts please.

I also propose a new emblem....... A shamrock that would signify where our clan originated from and can stand proudly on the Clan Wars map.

I still stand by my original oppinion of Muppets or The Muppet Show with Gonzo as our logo :P

All of this is theory though as you can't change guild names at the moment (i.e. we'd need to create a new clan and lose our existing land).

I think that you CAN change the clan name but it costs gold

Oh I know what Muppets means m8; that was part of the point (don't take ourselves to seriously that we can't joke about ourselves; like naming the clan "Super Bad" or "Eejit" and if anyone is stupid enough to believe the clan tag represent us then so much better; they underestimate us)

Muppets is taking the piss out of ourselves a bit much

Go ahead and change it then...




In fairness though, I would only consider changing it if we were to get TIISD to change also.

We could have a main clan name with 2 divisions. The divisions could have individual name that points to our old origins.

i.e

'War Torn Heroes - Shamrock Division / Iron Division' [WTH-S] & [WTH-I] or something like that.

It would make sense to change it then.

I would personally like a name that could give us [WTF] or [GTFO] tags

ZZR1100

i like 1 and 4 .
some say that bruff has the last one tattooed on his back.

ZZR1100

the unofficial poll stands at 18 for and 18 against atmo, but we would have to have an official poll for and against a Clan name change before we do it.
followed by a poll with all suggestions and logos

so far we have

1---the wild geese [WG] (this could cause problems as every1 would think we were wargaming couriors and would kill us on sight)

2--- the muppets [TMS?]

3---Dearg Doom [DOOM] (translation red destroyer)

4---Elite Movement of Skulls [EMOS]

5--- War Torn Heroes [WTH]

insert ideas here

I like the shamrock/celtic symbols , nothing too nationalistic like but still recognisably irish even though the celts came from all over europe , just like the clan !

I definitely think if we go ahead with this, that TII need to get on board. We could have a main clan symbol which would have distinguishing elements for each division.

This means we could both keep our individual identities, while being under the same clan banner.

Silencing the foreign usurper --- (STFU) :mad:
Brothers in arms --- (BIA) think that could be in use already

[DF]Lenny

it has to retain links to clan origin , also as dub said tiicd would have to be a division - this also helps to strengthen the outside view of the clan (eg others will realise we are 150 odd members)
