Photics is on a distinguished road

This thread warms my heart!

OK, I think we're getting closer to a decision here. It seems that there are two favorites. "Fist of Photics" and just "Photics".

Heh... the origin of "Fist of Photics" comes from all of those Photics.com product shots. It would be a picture of my hand holding a Guild Wars item. I always felt pretty good getting the new stuff and then sharing those experiences with the Guild Wars community.
Tseng: Is that the legendary Photics's hand?!
Photics: Yes, that is the "Fist of Photics!"
Does that make me like "Claw" from Inspecter Gadget?

All you ever see is his hand...

So OK, if you had to choose from the two, which would it be...
  • Fist of Photics
  • Photics
The word "Fist" implies strength, so that's good! It also enforces a community theme, which is the point of the reorganization. Together we are an army. I agree with Nemisari... I wouldn't mind taking over the world either. Yet, we did that before. It became the guild's main purpose. When that goal was achieved, the guild crumbled. This time around, the guild should be about the fellowship. I think that's the balance that should be reached. Players want to make friends, but no one wants to join a weak guild.

So OK, here's another question...
Should I start the guild as soon as possible or wait until Groundhog's Day?

I like the old Bill Murry movie, which is basically about doing something over and over again... until you get it right. I think it's a good starting point for the guild, it's great symbolism. Plus, it gives me time to prepare... maybe even make it a guild event. Yes, the cape will probably be black. Maybe I'll pick the fist icon, but make it hidden in the cape. Black-on-Black could work, almost like a watermark.

Nemi, Jizato and Lee... what do you think?

...and Moo, I read your other post. (I deleted it when the guild forum was removed.) I've been rethinking the age requirement. Perhaps 13+ is better than 18+. Maturity is not automatic with age. There are lots of decent players in the 13-18 age range. It is something to be discussed.


Here are the steps to the guild reconstruction...
  1. Guild Leaders in this thread decide on a name.
  2. I create a new forum based on the name.
  3. We discuss the rules of the guild. What should and should not be allowed?
  4. The new guild is created.
This looks like great beginning!
