| Message | To Okrankha: OOC: I've checked on the forums, and had a couple of replies from Moderation that strongly advise against using 'real' flags. It's not an absolute no-no (like the nazi swastika) but it is bad form, strongly discouraged... and poor roleplay. |

| Message | OOC: We could just change the shades of red and blue on the union jack - very simple. |

| Message | OOC: It wouldn't be much, but it would be an improvement over this. Personally, when I've offered flag alternatives, I've found some way to create them myself. It seems to me that - if it matters to you - you will. It's certainly a big part of the calculation when I review a design. If it's not even original, it's not worth wasting time over. (That doesn't mean I'll vote for ANY original design, but an original design will at least be considered on it's merits). |

| Message | OOC: response from forum: "We would really prefer you don't simply lift a RL flag. Not to mention, you will be soundly trashed in the National Flag contest if you do . Obvious swastikas are prohibited I believe, yes, simply for the fact that there is only so much we can tolerate sadly before we start landing ourselves in real hot water. Of course, less obvious and non-Nazi swastikas are more tolerable if done tastefully (see Deltaria's cross), but I would personally say if you don't need to go down that route, don't. It's not really worth the trouble, in essence. _________________ Nového Úsvit - Vlastenecký Predná Game Moderator" |
