MMORPG's (Active KGC Guilds) > Guild Wars 2
Guild Name Voting [Second Wave]
Keen:
It looks like an overwhelming majority want the name "Keen and Graev's Community." The second highest vote was for Haven.
Please vote again, this time replying with a post stating your preferred guild name. Example: If you want "Haven" then post a reply stating you want the name to be Haven.
The purpose for this is to see who is voting for what name, and ensures that actual members of our community playing with us are the votes we actually count.
If you want a name other than KGC or Haven, please reply with that name. Write-ins are completely acceptable. Please also comment with reasons why you DO NOT want a name, if one of the names bothers you. In other words, speak now or never.

I vote for Keen and Graev's Community
Mostly cause I like the [KGC] Guild tag
Bartlebe:
Going with Haven.
I think I like it more because it seems more representative of the idea that we're a community of friends that like to game together.
In the first pole I was one of the few that voted for Tyrian Wayfarers. It's lore friendly.
Keen:
I'll be a little more forthcoming with another reason why we're doing this second wave of voting.
A couple of people have expressed concern that naming ourselves "Keen and Graev's Community" implies a groupie, fanclub, or otherwise less than "community" status upon whoever (or is it whomever?) has the tag. While I hope that everyone who is here is a fan of the the work we put into the blog, I never want anyone to feel demeaned by the name or uncomfortable by it.
Our community here on the forums bears the name because it -is- the forum community of Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog. I work hard to create a recognized brand -- and we are recognized -- but the brand happens to be the "gamer tag" or "handles" my brother and I use online. I completely understand the hesitation because the name itself implies ownership to the named partners and not to everyone, which isn't what I want to portray at all. I want our community to have a name we can be proud of in games, a name you want to be attached to, and a name you'll gladly tell other people you're in, and a name people will recognize game to game and say "oh hey it's the ..... ." I may "lead" the community, but I don't want it to be just Keen's community.
I don't want people to be uncomfortable. Actually, I don't want people's mindsets to change at all because of a name -- a name that will barely be visible in GW2 other than our tag. That's why you'll notice I haven't come up with any names, nor have I voted for one. If enough of you are uncomfortable with KGC, we won't use it. It's really that simple. I do not care if we call ourselves KGC, Haven, or the Toilet Paper Club.
Please, share the one name you want most and share your thoughts on why you do or do not want a particular name. But I ask you to also please be mindful of the majority. If it comes back with 20 actual members of the community wanting our name to be "SpreadSheet Kids" (don't worry, I won't let our name be stupid), 5 want Haven, and 2 want KGC then realize it's a name and that the majority want to use it.
Thanks all!
