Standards of the Past

Well said, Ardy...

...If this is how Shireroth christens its 10th anniversary, then it doesn't deserve another 10 years.

You changed my flag because you were embarrassed by it.

No, we changed it because it was ugly, it didn't symbolize anything, it didn't follow proper flag rules, it was hard to draw, the colors all clashed, and we were embarrassed by it.

Epic fail.

If this board had better formatting, you'd notice that the "and" was bolded. If you read it with that intonation, it makes perfect sense.

So that wasn't an epic fail. Me posting again on this thread, however, is.

Second draft: added white fimbriation to the cross so it doesn't violate the rule of tincture. Can't decide what to do with the saltire (diagonal cross), though.

Fair dos. Sorry about that.

That is apparent.

The old flag - simply put - was crap. If the old flag is the sum of your traditions then your traditions are crap. Other improvements to the original flag were suggested at the time but the majority rejected those and went with Scott's left-field last minute alternative because it was strikingly different and had a coherent rationale behind it.

Now have a civil war or shut the fuck up.

...and YOU bollocked me?

I think the old flag is quite adaptable, and the idea of replacing the Random White Square (TM) with something a little less trashy-looking is a good one. How about a white star along the lines of the one proposed at the top of this thread?

It is a minister's prerogative to berate his Kaiser's subjects.
