I was perusing one of Michael’s latest posts over at MMOG Nation today and noticed his hilarious post on the Guild Name Generator.  The Generator was put up courtesy of one of my favorite sites, The Daedalus Project.  Here’s what this wacky thing is all about:

Have a great group for a guild but can’t come up with a good name? At PARC’s PlayOn group, we found a basic grammar that was able to correctly parse about 90% of guild names we collected from a 3-month period in World of Warcraft over 5 servers (~22,000 guild names). You can find a detailed description of the grammar here.

This allowed us to create a guild name generator that used the grammar to create new guild names based on the weighted vocabulary of World of Warcraft guild names.

The title of this post is actually one of the names I saw earlier today when I tried it out.  Without further ado, here are a few more I found pretty funny:

Squirrel Ninjas

The Oprah Makers  (I couldn’t make this stuff up…)

Disciples of the Butterfly Front

Dawn of Murloc Humane Guild  (WoW players have been asking for more humane treatment of Murlocs forever)

The Rangers of Hot Druids  (I definitely want to be in this guild)

The Lazercannonpewpew

Warriors of Narrow Wit

Cult of Gimptard Heroicus

Pimps of Gnomish Liberation Covenant

The Cheese

Warriors of the Drama Wolves (I definitely don’t want to be in this guild)

Dragon Knockers  (!)

Lobster Issues  (let’s be honest, we all have issues…)

Order of Ultimate Losers

 And with that, I think I’ll sign off for the evening.  Go give the name generator a spin and see what gems YOU can find.  I look forward to reading them and having a good laugh.  :)
