I would say it's well thought, because it's the smallest and most logical conversion of simply the games name, to what is done on this website. If fits a guild of editors of the game's wiki like a glove.

But honestly I would be surprised if we were the only ones ever to think of this, true "scribes" or not. Like I would expect everyone's first thought for a guild name on a game called Total War to be Total Warriors. Or Shadowlands to be Shadow Lords. Or Warcraft to be The War Crafters. (lol)

Maybe or maybe not, I suppose it's irrelevant in the end, as long as we're the first to create the guild name.

Is that a thing? If we aren't the first to create the guild under the name of The Elder Scribes, will we have to pick a different name? This could be problematic, we might need a backup incase we are too slow. As far as my unexpertise goes, there are games which don't allow same name guilds at all, there are others who don't care as long as they're on different servers, and even others who don't care one way or the other. I havent' played many MMORPGs or been on enough guilds to know which of these cases is the most common, but if I had to, I'd wager the 3rd case is the rarest.

It may be safe to feel confident that if we're very quick to create it as soon as it is possible, we should be fine. In the event that we're not, then we'll have plenty of time to come up with and vote on even more unique guild names. Or... ok, may be the wisest to have one or two backup names ready prior. Possibly not even totally different names, but instead very small variations, like removing the "The", or adding a special character, I dunno...
