We started The Council of Thieves adventure Path last week. We met up with what kinda seemed like a resistance and they were discussing the name of the organization, our group really got involved in naming the group and how to be indentified (our DM said their regular name would be the Children of Westcrown)
We desided on "Westcrown Avengers" and yes we played up all the sterotype for The Avengers name
Our Colors are Red and Yellow
All people during missions where Yellow Armbands with Red A's and a hooded cloak (im going to pitch a domino mask next game day)
We have a rallying Cry you guessed it Assemble Avengers!! (used in the game during the attack on the prisoner transport)
All people will have Avenger codenames so that their names are not known to all
Im just wondering did anyone elses group get that involved in naming their Group

Yupp. My group decided to be "known" as the Eyes of Aroden.
I voted for Children of The Claw but it got turned down...

Is this a bad time to bring up that the dwarven cavalier in my campaign threw his shield to bash in the face of an undead creature, thus earning him the alias "Captain Cheliax."

That is great Im currently Going by the name Hawkeye (im an elven ranger going into arcane archer)
Our Warmage is you guessed it War Machine
I tried for "The Resisty!" at some point but the other members weren't having that.
The legend of the Wolfguard will be remembered throughout history, as they did everything in the campaign flawlessly (almost).
So far the Westcrown Avengers seem to be doing pretty Well we take the Mayors Manor next week
Our group of intrepid heroes and the supporting fellows who follow them are known as the Westcrown Reformation Front (Life of Brian jokes abound).
The Reformers have done well so far. Now I just have to make the other NPCs (Ermolos, Vitti, Yakopulio, etc...) appear to pull their weight instead of looking like static background images who don't do anything unless someone is directly viewing them.
My group went with "Firstlight" to try to reference the coming dawn and their endeavor to take Westcrown out of darkness. To keep the theme, when acting out as "Firstlight" they wear white hooded cloaks and masks to hide their identities.
The group I am running through CoT chose "Guardians of Cheliax". I was trying to get something creative out of them but it was one of those days when none of them was feeling it so they went boring. :(
Westcrown Warriors for Freedom or Westcrown Wants Freedom.
They really wanted to be WWF
I hate them sometimes

My group had decided upon 'Hope of the Fallen'.
In public they use hooded white cloaks with a yellow candle emblazened on the front. When they completed the Basterds lair, they laid out the bodies with a broken coin and a yellow candle on each of the bodies. They seemed quite proud of themselves. :-)
How poetic, I'm slightly jealous now. Mine just strung up all of the Bastards against the sides of the temple of Erastil. Good guys, eh?
I doubly scratched my head considering one of them was a supposed paladin of Erastil.
The paladin in my group was trying to convince the NPCs to go with New Republic of Aroden (NRA for short) but he rolled really poorly on his Diplomacy.
The NPCs mentioned what the possible choices were and the players picked the ones they liked best and had a diplomacy roll-off.
Needless to say the paladin got a 20 on that roll, and he was supporting Guardians of Cheliax.
So GoC it is!
My gaming group decided to go with "Mercenaries of Justice" as their organization name. This name came up after I vetoed the "Rabid Mongeese" name of course.
The Westcrown Avengers died last night battleing Drowned Jabe and the Flayed one.
My adult group decided on "The cleansing flame". A name which the group of high schoolers I also run for decide was lame. they picked "hidden disciples "
Certain members of my adult group have a predilection for burning things...
Sclavo's Bravos
Our group went with 'Westcrown Municipal Defenders', or WMD's for short.
Ours went with "Halorens of Westcrown," as they felt their mission was to bring light and hope to people, and safeguard them from things that go bump in the night. It also lets them speak more freely in public, as 'haloren' is a common term. They are wearing robes, masks, and yellow scarves tied around one arm as their signifiers.
We haven't gone with code names yet, and I'm surprised. It was discussed but dropped. "No names" is SOP during missions, but I'm busy quashing table talk all the time then.

My party calls themselves 'Westcrown Action Front' which admittedly works a little bit better in our language (Dutch).
Abbreviated WAF (which is Dutch for bark, as in dog), they use a dog's head as a logo, which is painted on walls throughout the city.
It's also working well for the villains: I'm having the bad guys refer to the PCs as "puppies", "barely housebroken pets", and ehm 'girl dogs'.
Also, the villains can shout things like 'be a good dog and STAY!' at them when they cast Hold Person, a killed PC 'had to be put down' and so on. It's all coming together beautifully :)
When the came out of the sewers they felt blindsided by the "help us name our group" They took it VERY seriously, but because I didn't give them a week to think about it (with all those NPCs eyes on them) they went with "The Avengers" and then they decided to change to Oprah's Book Club.
After the hilarious conversation that followed they stuck with it. They then referred to The Avengers as being the name of the organization and Oprah's Book Club being its strong arm.
Seriously kids, it's ok to sleep at night, Oprah's Book Club is watching over you!
As of tonight, the Night Watch Society has its lanterns and adventurers ready. >:3
Since our group is lead by a male Paladin of Iomedae and his sister, an Inquisitor of Iomedae, the group has decided to call them selves "The Scions of Justice".
I think that naming an adventuring band is important for the flavour of play. I really like reading what other DM's are doing with their players in CoT!
And since this is my first post.... Hello! Im Annika, the psycho DM from North Idaho =)
My players jumped on the default, Children of Westcrown, aka COW. As a result there's been a large number of bovine jokes, black and white outfits, mooing as a secret signal, etc. At least they're having fun.
I'm partial to the "Heavensent" in direct opposition to the Hellknights and the diabolical regime of Egorian. That name has celestial-inspired connotations as well as the very real implication that the PCs are "heavensent" saviors and guardians of the people of Westcrown. It's also a really short name, easy to remember, and something I could see the citizens rallying behind over the course of the campaign.

We went with "The Order of the White Rose" or just "The White Rose" for short. This is in reference to the white roses of Westcrown that all turned black when Aroden died. Not coincidentally, this was when everything went horrible for the city, so there's a certain nostalgia to the white roses, at least for those who have long enough memories to know about them.
The party nay-ed down the NPC's suggestion of "Children of Westcrown" and got a majority vote from all those present in the safe-house with "Watchmen of Westcrown".
My group just started playing this adventure path. We call ourselves the Nightwatch and wear blue masks on the job. The blue masks bit we got because my ninja always wears a blue oni mask when he suits up.
"The Flames of Hope" are burning strong in the hearts of Wiscrani! That's the name my players chose for their group.

There are some fantastic ideas on this thread that I'll use for other resistance groups, but I *really like* this one! Excellent for keeping in flavor of the setting and showing PC involvement with their hometown's past.

That's awesome! Our group went with the Peoples Front for the Liberation of Westcrown...PFLOW. Way too many Monty Python references during the game...but yes, they are having fun.
Ah yes... my group of big Star Wars fans went with the Rebel Alliance.
My players went with the anarchist-inspired WESTCROWNLESS.
