Yes, a chronology of sorts. Briefs descriptions of the various time periods and events yeah, describing what certain Delegacies were like, the many raids, etc.

Ok, well if you have any major events in mind (or even minor events that stand out to you), please do post them here. This region has the advantage of retaining a number of their members from the early days, so there is likely a good deal of "institutional memory" between you folks.

I will start a text document and begin collecting folks' recollections, and attempting to fit them into a chronology based, for now, around that list of delegates. But hopefully, in the future, it will have its own timeline.

My vote on the flags is #2, but I think the selection on teh whole is good all around. I less prefer the flags with more cartoon-y penguins in them, though.

Would you characterize the current version of the flag as "more cartoon-y"? Would you prefer there to be only the sun, or just that one specific penguin silhouette that looks the most realistic?

Ah, thank you for the manual, which I can only assume you linked for me in the hope that I may learn how to avoid future assassination attempts. Very thoughtful of you.

Ps. Just had another look at the Hall of Delegates. A number of the term dates, such as my illegal term that lasted 2 days, marked as running for nearly 12 months etc.

I think there was a good deal of interpolation from the available information that went into creating that dispatch. So any good info that you may have would be welcome.

Which of your terms was the "illegal" one? If I had to guess, it would be #12, though that would mark your very first delegacy as having been born beneath dark clouds :P

Johan placed an 'X' before the delegacies of raiders, as well as some other fluke-terms (such as Holly taking over temporarily, following the MW scandal, as well as Lep's brief stint as 'Supreme Leader' when something went wrong with the endos during Johan's term). Should there be an 'X' for your coups, do you think?

The colours have been made pastel.

Nice, I think I like the rainbow better in those pastel tones. All in all, that's a pretty cool flag you've got, there.

Densaner wrote:

Yep, that was the exact reason, we still live in a dangerous world. 🔫

No, that would be no. 16 ... Coup, singular ... Yes an X is useful in identifying non elected or otherwise abnormal delegate terms.

Alright, thanks for the clarifications. I'll try to see what changes I can make on that doc and, fail that, will notify Johan to change his dispatch. Though, before I do that, were there other mistakes you noticed in the doc?

What about these two flags? Are they legitimate regional flags, or raider flags?

Also, Lingang, what's the deal with this version of your flag? Is it a real flag, or just something that was up temporarily for fun but was caught by the "snapshot" of the regional flag?

Tell him to proof read the dates versus the number of days quoted, there’s a couple of errors elsewhere.

Alright, I'll see if I can suss out the inconsistencies. And thanks for the info on those other flags.

First run at collecting the flags of the region. If anyone has any suggestions, or know of other flags that may still be floating around, feel free to link them.

(Should I size down the ones that are bigger? They look worse the smaller they get, but the other flags don't have file sizes any larger than that which is shown)

Densaner wrote:

This should be a better version of the first flag -

Nice, thanks. Did you just do a reverse image search?...because that seems now to be the obvious solution to that, don't know why I didn't think of that first.

Also, I remembered that Lep shared his two designs on discord, so I was able to add another, as well as recover a larger version of the other. Den, if you don't have a larger file size, I'm pretty sure I would be able to recreate it, since it's such a simple design. Unless you just don't care about the size of the file in there...

New draft of the dispatch:

Indeed, that was a raider ribbon they used to gloat amongst themselves about occupying us.

Also yeah, I may have a larger version of the flag. I’ll need to hop on my old laptop to get it though.

Groovy, thanks. But no hurry at all...I know well the effort required to go dig up an old computer and root through its sad, obsolete remains.

What do you think of my new dispatch? (and yes, election season has indeed just ended in Rivierenland)

Very official looking and well put together. The table and graphic are nicely done.

My only criticism would be that your prime minister is far too attractive. Everyone knows politicians are a hideous class of trollish brutes and withered hags who lurk in dank caves only to emerge every few years to feed on our young.

The best part is that she looks like a 21 year old while she's almost 40

Also, thanks for the feedback!
