The Good Ol' Flag Issue

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 22:33

Okay, some people support having a type of flag per government, and others want just one. So what'll it be?

Question
Should it be required that we have a flag for every type of government?

Options:
Yes, No

Expiration
5 Days.

jdd2007 · June 18, 2002, 22:36

no: we only need flag

civman2000 · June 18, 2002, 22:38

READ THIS BEFORE YOU VOTE!

I voted no. I think it is a good idea, but it should not be required. WE should be able to change it any time (which i think trip means to also allow) and are highly recommended to do so after a revolution. However, we should not have a big stack of flags, we should make them up when we get to the new governemnts. That makes them truly be revolutionary flags.

One flag is good enough

no, it's not.

jdd2007 · June 18, 2002, 22:40

yes, of course we should be able to change/replace/enhance the flag, but we only need one

We dont even really need a flag at all, this is just in the interests of fun... if anyone wishes to change the flag at any given time, then they may say so. However we should not be required to have a new flag every revolution or election.

Jon Shafer · June 18, 2002, 22:43

Keep in mind guys, if you vote 'no', that doesn't mean that there will only be 1 flag. It means that we aren't required to change the flag every time the government changes. So voting 'yes' means that you want it to be required.

Inverse Icarus · June 18, 2002, 22:44

oh thats stupid. down with the poll!

Ninot · June 18, 2002, 22:44

im with uber

civman2000 · June 18, 2002, 22:44

i think we should have changing flags, but the discussion behind the poll and stuff seemed to imply that they would be premade, and the poll itself implies that it would be required. This is what i dont like

To me, the question is asking "Should we allow it at all?". It's not implying anything else, but......

Inverse Icarus · June 18, 2002, 22:47

when i read it i also thought it meant "should we change the flag at all". bleh.

Timeline · June 18, 2002, 22:47

I LOVE IT, BUSH AND CHENEY .......THIS IS GREAT LMAO ROFL LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

btw: the poll sucks

Ninot · June 18, 2002, 22:51

im with uber, flags for all occasions..

we should have a flag for everything ya know, the Election flag, and the "im openning up my CD-ROM to put Civ3 in" flag.. flags are very important to minute-by-minute actions.

i wanna be able to change the flag three times every turn

Boy, you guys better hope Ming or Markos doesn't stop by this thread, this is the most spam I've seen in a while.

Quite you fool.

One flag should be good enough.

Given the limited scope of the question...

"Question

No, it should not be required that we have a flag for every type, however, we may choose to do so after a revolution. But it is something to be discussed during a government change, i.e. period of Anarchy, as to whether or not we want a new flag. In fact I think no flag at all until we enter the first revolution & Anarcy phase.

I also think that when some rule is passed, then Trip (or whoever is President/PM at the time), should have to say,
"So it is written, so it is done", ala Yul Bryner as Ramses in "The Ten Commandments". Though, please you do not need to where the same outfit as Yul. (By the way who decided to cast Edward G. Robinson in this movie, "Yeah, see here Moses, I'm gonna rub you out, see.")

hi ,

one flag , one nation , many games , ...

have a nice day

civman2000 · June 19, 2002, 18:33

I voted no for reasons i mentioned above, but why shouldnt we be allowed to change the flag? Nations change, flags change. If the majority of the people want to change, why shouldnt we change it?

Vlad Antlerkov · June 19, 2002, 18:40

I voted no. However, I think that, if a majority supports it, we should be able to change the flag.

kring · June 19, 2002, 19:40

You could also have city flags, regional (county/state/region, etc.) flags.

Each party/guild could have its own flag. Each military unit.

The lists are fairly open for possibilities; Flags for Wonders, Improvements.

Each Minister or other official (elected, military, or appointed) could have their own flag, heraldry, or other symbol of office.

It wouldn't have to be limited to flags, the heraldry or symbols work equally well for some of the groups I mentioned above.
