Severed Storm
8 votes
47%

Lightning Talons
5 votes
29%

The Black Cats

The way I see it, any name with the slightest connotation of rebirth is appropriate. Phoenician, anyone?
If you can make it better, don't make it sentient.

I think I remember some myth of a thunder phoenix. Either that or I'm making up my own mix of the Thunder bird with the Phoenix.
Dolphins are some of the smartest animals, yes, but by human standards… Let's say you should praise the god that forces them to stay handless and underwater.

Phoenix(Which I would totally support) is better than Phoenician for that considering Phoenicians were a real people who occupied a country called...well Phoenicia which was not actually associated with Phoenixs

I know, but Phoenix alone seems.. plain. "We are the Phoenix!" I dunno. Adjectives and the like, maybe? Phoenix Lantern. Gravity's Phoenix :3 but yeah, if we use Phoenix, it'd be nice to have some prefix/suffix.

And yeah, Vic, there's a thunderbird in american mythology i believe?

Should people who are not involved in these guilds vote, or just people who actually have a vested interest?

Anyone can be involved. :)

I asked Jack to set up the vote on the premise that even if you aren't a part of the guild itself, you'll still most likely be in direct contact with it at some point or another.

So please, if you have a suggestion, make it :)

Lighting Talons and Storm Claws are my favorites of the poll itself.

All right, the less popular names have been booted, and the "combination" option has been split. Choose your favorite!

Severed Storm (why aren't you an option???)
If you ever need to ask the questions "Am I needed? Should I help them?" The answer is always yes. Always.

Yeah, pretty sure Severed Storm is gonna win out here, unless other players come out of the woodwork.
They sometimes say, "the place where I am right now was circled on a map for me"... Unfortunately, I kind of suck at orienteering.

Aw, I was hoping for Talons. Ah, well. Not my guild :P
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

Probably should have triple-posted to bump the thread when the poll ended, but the first post has been updated with the final results.
