They rank a flag that is a blank color higher than nearly every other flag? Hmmm, okay.

Sirotnikov · June 29, 2002, 18:47

Currently I only suggest 7a.

7b - is the Military flag.
7c - is the Presidential flag. (to go with the Presidential Avatar)
7d - is Capitol flag.

FrostyBoy · June 29, 2002, 19:54

I was going to make one, but these are good!!

Good work Trip, I didn't know you had talent

notyoueither · June 29, 2002, 20:09

I have to say that the Siro flags are the best use of colour for a tropical civ. IMHO.

FrostyBoy · June 29, 2002, 20:13

agreed,

the best of them should be merged

I agree, however, to me its just too....bad. I hate the colour combo Green and Yellow. Reminds me of something I do not care to mention.

No offense intended to Siro, of course.

FrostyBoy · June 29, 2002, 21:48

Yes they're ugly colours, but I can see in my mind that if those colours were used in Trips flag, it would look good.

Sirotnikov · June 29, 2002, 22:20

Well.... I think of this.

a) we're a yellow civ
b) we're in the jungle
c) we're basically egypt

if you have a better color scheme suggestion - i'm happy to hear. I still have the PSD and can change it in a second.

Sn00pys Graphic Tip #1

It's not the colour thats the problem, it's the way you use the colour.

Trust me, grab Trips flag, put your colours in it and

Kuciwalker · June 30, 2002, 07:14

I mainly voted against yours, Sirotnikov, because they have the Egyptian things in them, and I like bananas better. They're yummier

Thanks alot wise-guy.

I could have made it a lot nicer looking, but I had to work around those bananas. You have no idea how hard it is to make a flag look professional while encorporating bananas.

By the way, a bit (lot) OT, but Sn00py have you gotten to work on that 'fairy tale' graphics mod yet? It was looking real nice and I haven't seen anything about it lately.

FrostyBoy · July 1, 2002, 00:11

I will get to that fairy tale one, but I am actually currently working on something different. So far it is making Civ3 look a zillion times better.

Hopefully I'll be done in about a month.

Sirotnikov · July 1, 2002, 21:54

Snoop?

wanna tell me? I could help

I'm sure you have screenies for us.

Will 5001 · July 2, 2002, 06:10

Great Work to all the contestants but I will have to hand my vote to Trip!!!!

FrostyBoy · July 2, 2002, 07:00

yep, I posted in the creation thread

hm I'm not sure I need help at the moment.. but maybe in the future..

James Adams · July 2, 2002, 07:39

Go trip's first flag is the best!

XarXo · July 2, 2002, 10:45

I believe that this flag is the most adequate one. Reasons:

1) This sun-like apperance represents the light that freedom gives us, and democracy is actually the government system that allow us to have more.

2) The colors are widely used by a lot of flags in the world, Rusia, European Union, USA, Japan...

3) MarkG, check this flag...

Jon Shafer · July 6, 2002, 22:58

I guess this means that my flag is now the official flag of Apolytonia.

Long live the empire!!!!

But what does it symbolize?

jdd2007 · July 6, 2002, 23:01

we arent, as someone stated, a 'banana republic' [no pun intended]

jdd2007 · July 7, 2002, 11:02

anyway, it looks like we have a winner...

Wow. They say the American flag is bad because it has to many stars! Those stars happen to represent something. They are critizing the flags without even looking at what they may mean to the countries that own them.

LordImpact · July 7, 2002, 12:44

They also call the Union Jack, Englands flag too busy. That flag happens to be a combination of the flags of England/Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Every single thing on that flag represents a part of the UK. Its a stupid site...

Verto · July 7, 2002, 14:50

Maybe its not the flag they are voting against, but the countries. Perhaps resentment against the United States and the United Kingdom?

Either way, this can all be blamed on the democrats!

GePap · July 7, 2002, 15:06

How will Apolytonia's children be able to draw the flag? Will they get the number of banana's right, and their complex interaction? We will have to raise the education budget just to get them to draw our flag!

Spiffor · July 16, 2002, 19:05

Should we ask MarkG to add our Flag to the list, so that every Apolytonian who wants can show his citizenship ?

kring · July 16, 2002, 19:42

Yes, most definitely.

Timeline · July 16, 2002, 22:50

Oh that would be excellent!

kring · July 17, 2002, 02:42

Please MarkG.

I am glad we have a flag, now maybe some one could upload a good graphic for it so I can d/l the graphic?
