Covenant of the Phoenix on YOUTUBE, subscribe today!
Some say it's a myth, others say they once saw them playing cards with Bigfoot. Nevertheless, you will all soon know the truth behind the LEGEND of the Purple Barneys.
After yet another amazingly awesome PvP experience in Keshatta, the Covenant of the Phoenix and it's allies were hanging out and having a good time talking about the aforementioned pwnage and throwing a few jokes around.
It was but a few minutes into the conversation when jokes about funny guild names emerged.
Skjoldr heaved forth a starkly hilarious suggestion of "Barney Guild"....followed quickly be the realization that he was now somehow guilded beneath the brand new tag "Purple Barneys".
In a flash of brilliance to cap a funny joke, Throne had changed the guild name from "CotP" to "Purple Barneys" with flawless timing and awesomeness.
It was all in good fun....the guild name would be available to be reset in 24 hours and we would all laugh about it for a few days and then soon file it away amongst the other forgotten funnies of our decade long gaming experience.....or would we?
A few moments later, the harsh reality of Age of Conan guild administrative debauchery would reveal itself in bloody fashion. No, Mr. Genius Throne wouldn't be able to change the guild name back after 24 hrs...or 48...or 72. Oh no no no, we would now get to live our fantastic Age of Conan adventures under the tag of "Purple Barneys" for a full SEVEN DAYS.
The news soon reached the far reaches of Hyboria...from the server-wide chat: "who are all these Purple Barney's running around and owning me in PvP?!?!?".....then the official Age of Conan PvP Server forums: "where did all the Purple Barneys come from?".
Recruitment came to a halt so screeching, it wiped out a small family of nearby chipmunks.
Throne, now trying to figure out new recruitment angles using nickelodeon and disney gaming forums, was then contacted by the leader of one of CotP's closest allies....another realization was about to hit him square in his square, masculine and quite handsome jawbone. "Throne, the leadership of your long-time allies, -The Purple Dragons-, would like to know what the hellz you're trying to pull here?".
After causing a server uproar, a near alliance meltdown and a recruitment nightmare, Throne thought long and hard about what he should order for lunch. Jimmy John's had not yet reached Texas, so Pizza would have to do.
Much thought and very little discussion ensued, with the very clear result coming from a likely source in his good friend Damis. If at any point we were to suddenly cap off a funny guild-name joke by changing our in-game tag, we would certainly choose a much more relative and insightful name......
....Teletubbies.
