House shields
All the houses still have their old Duchy flags, complete with banners that say "DUCHY OF X". We can do better.
I'm willing to make every house a shield similar to that of Kalir, but I need their permission first. I'd have fun choosing designs and slogans for everyone (I already sketched one for Mortis just for my own amusement) but if you'd prefer you can come up with one for me.

Re: House shields
The shape of the shield isn't reaaaaally the best. We might change it, Scott, no? Circular is cooler, maybe...

Re: House shields
Maybe a better quote for mortis, and a clean up for the image?

Re: House shields
I seem to recall us having a shield at some point, based off the cool planet thing on the flag. If you'd like to do up a new version of that, though, you're welcome too. For the motto, why not use the one you used on the Kildarian bank note?
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave.
However, this account still manages:
Cla'Udi - Count of Melangia
Manuel - CEO of VBNC. For all you'll ever need.
Vincent Waldgrave - Lord General of Gralus
Q - Director of SAMIN
Duke Mel'Kat - Air Pirate, Melangian, and Duke of the Flying Duchy of Glanurchy
And references may be made to Vur'Alm Xei'Bôn (a Nelagan Micron of undisclosed purpose).

Indeed. We have a shield, you can see it in our forum if you look to the banner.Andreas the Wise wrote:I seem to recall us having a shield at some point, based off the cool planet thing on the flag.

Not that I would mind that Scott makes a new one...
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

Re: House shields
Doesn't sound all that good in Latin. I think we should have our motto in either Shirerithian, English or a local language (Lakhesian ).

Re: House shields
I'd ask Nick, but he still hasn't gotten me a translation for County, state, province..etc yet.

Re: House shields
Which reminds me. It's been months on that Shirerithian language thing. Nick clearly doesn't have the interest in it to continue. Perhaps we should either turn over control to other, willing, interested developers or scrap it entirely.

Re: House shields
I could do it maybe. If I could talk to him for a little bit on what he wants, I have a bit of a linguistic background and could maybe bring something together.

Re: House shields
Harvey.. let's see you have time finishing a Masters in Linguistics and Teaching Classes...
He's about to be free again to work on it. I haven't even seen him in months, he's been so busy.

Re: House shields
Every busy people get downtime for R&R every now and then. He's spending his moments of free time doing other things. I respect that. But more to the point, I don't care. It's us that are here that we have to worry about and it seems like people are letting this whole lack of a language thing stop them from doing what could otherwise be cool stuff. We can't put things in the country on hold until someone gets back to us.
If he's not doing actual work by July 1st I'm using my powers as Chancellor of the University to remove his control over the national language project and will offer erb bounties for other people to work on it. And I mean real progress here, not just an "I'm back, here are a few scattered thoughts" type thing with no ensuing follow-up. Kaiseress wants a functioning University and, by Jove, she's gunna get it.

Re: House shields
Regarding Praeta, I've messaged Nick asking him for a status update. If he can't do it, well...Bill's already said he's a no-go, which leaves me, Shyriath, and any conlangers we can find lying around elsewhere. Needless to say, I'm really, really hoping Nick has the time.
Regarding the House shields, I've gone with the round ones as asked. Here are the shields I'll be asking Ari to put up when our beloved MiniInt returns to the world of the living:
Annexis didn't seem existent enough for me to take the time to make it a shield.
