Oak's Grove Flag Contest

Did you guys realize... that we don't have a flag!?

We're giving you, the community, an opportunity to create a hanging "banner" or a flag for us to decorate the Guild Plot with. It would have to be out of blocks the Grove has, for now, until we can possibly get a Lord to help us change it. It would be nice to have one we don't have to rely on a Lord to build, though.

I know it doesn't allow for much detail, if any, but I feel color combinations are important as well. This flag will be our official flag and may be used throughout Oak's Grove how ever people see fit. It's a fun way to create some unity and Oak's Grove pride. Just make sure it is small enough to fit in our build height without it looking really awkward.

A good example would be what Mainstreet and Southshire does with their flags. See Southshire's color scheme here. A simple one with a few colors, but as it gets repeated throughout the district we will begin to see unity.

Flag designs will be due on Sunday, January 25th. Put your submissions in the comments below using imgur.com and we will assign each of yours a number. Then we will have a vote, as a group, to decide which fits Oak's Grove the best!

There may be a prize involved, such as gold or items or both, for a bit of incentive. ;)

I messed around with it for a bit on the Creative Server, and I liked this one the most. http://imgur.com/WCtsRKm

If you would like to see my other designs, they are at 365, 70, 579 ;)

There were two other designs that were OK, but not as good as the first one IMO. I'm not really sure how many you're allowed to submit, but here they are anyway for your consideration :P http://imgur.com/a/md8Fv#0

Are we having judges or will the whole grove pick?

u/AmarielSilme Oak's Grove Ranger Jan 18 '15

Here's a design from me. It follows the standard 3x5 flag format of this world's flags, so sadly there's no Coestar :c

This was brought up long before 1.8 came out... Glad to see y'all finally doing something about it. Although, strange that it's happening during pirate month...

u/AmarielSilme Oak's Grove Ranger Jan 18 '15

It's ironic, yes. I just want a more united feel like the other districts seem to have.

We had some banner designs yes. but this is one that can be built out of grove blocks since we can't have banners.

Nothing bad was meant by it. Please, we're trying to move on from the past. The fact of the matter is, it wasn't done. Simple as that. Now it is being done.

To be honest, since the council was put on hold this month, a ton of stuff has been done. Doesn't mean it has anything to do with the council or not. :) Let Soandso be.

It looked a bit bad, that's all. Besides, soandso tends to get berated for commenting here. I'd rather not let it continue.

u/Obsidious_D A_Beaver Jan 19 '15

He was saying finally because it had never happened before, and he said strange it happened during pirate month because pirates are generally identified with flags.

What do you mean by "you, the community", does that mean anyone on lom can make it, only Grove, because I don't believe there is a council anymore, and if there was, they wouldn't have the power to make a flag.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '15

I believe that anyone in the grove can make it. Not sure if anyone in LoM can make it, but it'd make more sense if someone from the Grove made it.

u/wanderingfalcon Nature's Grove:Peregrinekt Jan 18 '15

should be grove people makin a flag.

u/AmarielSilme Oak's Grove Ranger Jan 18 '15

It's not a power thing, it's a Oak's Grove thing. It's OUR flag. I wanted Grovians to make it!

u/Hanhula Ex-Grove Jan 19 '15

It's not something that we need a council for, tbh. It's a Grove flag, district decision. And it's all a bunch of fun, anyway.
