Flags of Apolytonia

[Kassiopeia]

We need a clear and simple to way for the voters to view the flags, with approriate name-codes (like Mercator-1), so that people can vote with ease.
Suggestion: I load them on my website, and do the poll necessary. How about that?
Edit: Heck, ColdWizard already volunteered to do that... Though, if I go for it now, would be lot faster

[ColdWizard]

so far there are 12 flags, 6 mercators, 2 kassiopeias, 3 steelehcs, and 1 of mine, though i've started on a 2nd.

as for who does the poll, i don't really care who does it, as long as somebody does.


however, if you do the poll now, none of the noobies (or anyone else) will have a chance to submit a flag. i suggest starting the poll on monday, which will give people the weekend to make some flags if they want.

Probably. Besides, I need to convert some flags to GIF-form to reduce taken space, so it'll take time.

So if you have an idea, you have time still at least 48 hours to make it real!

btw, i've already converted the 12 current flags to gifs. if you want i can zip 'em up and mail them to you or something

I had another idea, a better one, at least I think so. However, my computer is kinda messed up, and it wont let me save it as a .gif or .jpg. I'm going to try to convert it, and if I can't do that by sunday, I'll post the .bmp.

Well, it's not much...

[Kuciwalker]

The first one is the best.

The first flag looked fine to me. But since other people have gone to some effort to make other ones, we should vote to give full consideration to all the designs.

And, while we may not yet have met anyone to wave a flag at, it sure would be embarrassing to meet someone and not have one. This should be decided by poll soon.

Yes, the poll is due Monday. Whether that is Monday GMT, CET or PST, is undetermined.
Anyways, I'll use my webspace to img src them to a single thread, it will be a pain to load so those of you with 26.6 modems should be patient.

Perhaps you could reduce them all to thumbnail size, paste them together in one image, and attach that image to the first post of the poll...

OR we could use this patch-work as our Flag.(that would be an original one)

my second flag didn't come out well, so only the one submission from me

[Kassiopeia]

I would recommend that the deadline be extended with some, 18 hours, since Apolyton was down...?
Also, I would like to withdraw my all submissions and replace them, unless someone objeccts?

That sounds good, maybe we could add a link that would take to a different page where the flags are in a bigger size? Or we could have the voters to be able to look closer only at the ones they deem worth from the thumbnails?

What about making the patch-work and adding that as an extra option for flag? People can vote for either the patch-work or the single flags.
I agree, it would be quite a compromise, and I am sure it will rake up votes.

OK.

So, now it is 21:30 GMT, so flag contest deadline at 15:30 GMT.

Oh and ColdWizard, do you have all the flags in .gif? You could zip and email them to me. And if anyone has spare time, you could do the patchwork, I might not be able to do it.

[ColdWizard]

i don't have your email addy, so i'll just attach it
