Very well, as you may know, i've been working on our guild in Pandora Saga.
Pandora Saga is a very party oriented game, in fact you can't kill a mob your level without a party.
So forming a guild is something players will need right after level 20 at least if their looking for a fun experience. For that matter we must turn our guild attractive, so it can become powerful and enjoyable. I've already been faced with the question "what does T.O.A. means?" quite a few times, and never was capable of giving an actual answer. I could , of course say it means "The one and only" but..where's the last O? Of course the "Towa" (eternity) is still gonna be used, but , it can't only have that meaning, otherwise why didn't i just called the guild Towa? Anywho, my point is, we must think of something that would caught the attention to people playing this game. A title of the guild is ,for the newbie player, the only hint of how it works on the inside, its ideologies and goals, therefor, if we find a title that will be appealing to the masses, i'm sure our guild will be way more productive.
Keep in mind that I'm not changing the meaning of T.o.A just adding it a new one. I think i've mentioned our guild in Pandora saga as "The Pandora Saga's ToA Branch" so i'm not taking away any meaning, I'm just giving this T.O.A a meaning.
(sorry for the messy essay, but i'm kinda tired, ka-kinda tired)
Anywho we have to find meaings for T, O, and A, and they have to make sense.
I've tought of titles like "Triumph of Arcanum" and other, but that's as far as my imagination went...
I tought that it'd have some sort of poetic feel to it standed for a Musical Term or a Quoting from Poesy...but poesy will probably be too hard...
Here are some musical terms starting with T:
# tacet: silent; do not play
# tempo: time; i.e., the overall speed of a piece of music (Tempo literaly means Time in portuguese, may also mean weather)
# teneramente: tenderly
# tenerezza: tenderness
# tenor: the second lowest of the standard four voice ranges (bass, tenor, alto, soprano)
# tenuto: held; i.e., touch on a note slightly longer than usual, but without generally altering the note's value
# ternary: having three parts. In particular, referring to a three-part musical form with the parts represented by letters: ABA
# tessitura: the 'best' or most comfortable pitch range, generally used to identify the most prominent / common vocal range within a piece of music
# timbre: the quality of a musical tone that distinguishes voices and instruments
# time: in a jazz or rock score, after a rubato or rallentendo section, the term "time" indicates that performers should return to tempo (this is equivalent to the term "a tempo")
# tranquillo: calmly, peacefully
# tremolo: shaking; i.e., a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes (often an octave on the piano). String players perform tremolo with the bow by rapidly moving the bow while the arm is tense. It can also be intended (inaccurately) to refer to vibrato, which is a slight undulation in pitch. It is notated by a strong diagonal bar across the note stem, or a detached bar for a set of notes (or stemless notes).
# triplet (shown with a horizontal bracket and a '3'): Three notes in the place of two, used to subdivide a beat.
# troppo: too much; usually seen as non troppo, meaning moderately or, when combined with other terms, not too much, such as allegro [ma] non troppo (fast but not too fast)
# tutti: all; all together, usually used in an orchestral or choral score when the orchestra or all of the voices come in at the same time, also seen in Baroque-era music where two instruments share the same copy of music, after one instrument has broken off to play a more advanced form: they both play together again at the point marked tutti.
Here are some musical terms starting with A:
acceso: ignited, on fire
adagio: at ease; i.e., play slowly
agile: swiftly
allegro: cheerful or brisk; but commonly interpreted as lively, fast
anacrusis: a note or notes that precede the first full bar; a pickup
andante: at a walking pace; i.e., at a moderate tempo
anima: feeling
arco: the bow used for playing some string instrument; i.e., played with the bow, as opposed to pizzicato (plucked), in music for bowed instruments; normally used to cancel a pizzicato direction
Honestly i think i like these 'cause their all italian... Then again something with a double meaning would be even better!
Latin would sound good too, but may be a bit of a cliche~ Then again , "cliches are cliches because they're good" , or some of them anyways.
Remember that you're not limited to these expressions, not at all! In fact I hope you put some of yourselves into these Anacronyms.
Thanks alot for the help!
