I'm around 12% towards level 12. Once we do get a guild, what do we call it?

[Kagus]

Yes, it is a bit of a mess, and it does try desperately hard to be funny.  Due to the wildly varying ranges of humor that gets added in, it's significantly hit-and-miss.  I'd actually say that it's more on the "miss" side of things as far as humor is concerned.

It can be interesting though, if you're looking for something different.  It's more of a game than ProgressQuest, but the interactions are so prone to failure or misinterpretation that it's about as good as not having anything to do with the blaggard.

I'm starting to get a little tired of it, frankly.  But then again, it's not taking much of my time, and I don't mind checking in now and again to see how my chosen bastard is doing.  Then I can yell at him.

I'd like for them to do a sweep for all the useless humor stuff, and I wouldn't mind even them adding some "Normal" things. (I.E, armor sets of varrying metals, broadswords, cutlasses, short swords, etc.). To be honest, the constant barrage of not-so-funny humor makes the game boring.

[Mindmaker]

Hmm I guess we can't take the name of one of our legendary fortresses, as they are already in the game.

Slaves to Armok?
Dwarves Den?
Fort of Madness?
We need booze to get through the working day?
Menacing with spikes?

You probably can come up with better names...
I still would favor the latter one.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Actually, a "Slaves to Armok" guild name would suit the game's style pretty well.

You should see the russian side of Godville btw, it's crawling with cultural references and memes, there almost isn't a single item or line that's not a reference or a pun on something.

Little venting topic I made.

Being the greedy bastard I am, I would like it named after my community fort, Paperscale. Alas, such a selfish bitch never gets his way.

As for the name the general public would like...

"Slaves to Armok" sounds nice. But we are gods. They don't make slave-gods. Maybe "Armok's Assembly"?

Spoiler: Translated Russian Godville Intro (click to show/hide)

Where am I?

Have you ever wanted to be God? Crush the infidels, to bless believers and to indulge in other luxuries, lazily sipping ambrosia? In this game, each player becomes the owner of a personal deity and a worshiping hero, who they do not have control over - except that, for the sake of entertainment, can cast down lightning bolts or yell from the heavens.

The genre of this game is not easy to define. We call it a samoigraykoy- or, if you want a more scientific, ZPG (zero player game). In fact, it is a parody of usual games. You need not bother grinding for levels on your character, while allowing any free moment to rejoice the new achievements of his protege.

At first, may seem very strange, but do not be in a hurry to leave the game immediately. Watch your character for some time, deal with what is happening, and you are unlikely to regret that you have discovered a great game months in advance. Godville provides many interesting features: from the Informer to a Wikipedia-emerging daily newspaper game: a number of subtleties and nuances in the supervision of his adventuring so large that the process can drag out a very long time.

There is little graphics in this game, because the theme of this game is often possible only in a fantasy context. The game is limited text that contains many allusions and references to movies, books, games and memes, and on top of this mess is very seasoned and cynical kind of humor. This game has been under construction for three years, and a huge part of it is created by the players.

Will you join?

Personally translated it, with a little help from google. Got most of it right, though.

This would still imply a god that stands above us.

[Kagus]

Don't know about you lot, but I'm going to form a guild called "The Twelfth Bay".  You can join if you like, or set up something else if you'd prefer.  I'm still gonna go do my thing.

But it wouldn't imply that we are slaves.

It really doesn't matter, if you guys like "Slaves to Armok", then "Slaves to Armok" it is!

[Sean Mirrsen]

I like "Slaves to Armok" because it fits our theme, it implies the guild is a guild of slaves (with what other idiotic things our heroes do, joining a guild of slaves is par for the course), and is generally neutral enough. Someone else could probaly starts guilds like "Communist Crime Squad" or "Stumpy-Wumples Protected Habitat", depending on which game they like most.

[Micro102]

Remember, our hero's are the one's joining the guilds, not us, thus we together, ARE armok 

Either way I prefer the twelfth bay, makes people recognize that bay12 is here.


EDIT: Is that twelfth bay guild up? What's the leader's name?

[Farce]

I like The Twelve Bays.  As opposed to Twelfth.  Change it up a bit, I guess.

Also, my hero just leveled and finished his quest at the same time.  I was wondering where he got that chunk of like 10% of his exp bar from until I realized the latter fact.  He's got his second brick and picked up some fish scale armor +0, which is neat.

Parrots on the main square prophesied: 'Date for the Date God! Dancing for the Dancing Throne!'.

Funniest "blood for the blood god!" Parody

Also, I think Slaves of Armok sounds good but any name would be okay. Maybe a poll could solve this...?

[Micro102]

I also saw babes to the babe god....I voted it bad

Spider Pig gave me a severe blow. Why, the heck do I have to suffer so much? Is it because of my wretched equipment?

Quite possible.
