Hey, now that the Lands of Roawia is our new official title, shouldn't we edit the titles of these threads to say LoR, instead of NoR?

Hey Andared,
Technically, the name has not been changed just yet. This past Sunday, the 22nd, was the deadline for nominating a name to vote on. After that day, Jordan stated he would create a poll in the not-too-distant future, allowing participants to vote on whichever name they like best. I imagine in the next few days we will see something of the sort.

However, the name of the roleplay has already been changed to Lands of Roawia, so I assumed that AK had gone ahead and decided to go through with it. Judging by the amount of popularity it initially garnered, I'd say it's a safe bet to go ahead and make it official, as no other suggestion was even in the ballpark in comparison.

It turns out that several people missed the nominating thread, so I'll keep nominations open thru the weekend since I was too busy to start the voting thread this week anyway.

May I suggest some new/updated signature images for titles and functions? -- EDIT: I tried to make these in original scale, but they seem rather large now that I see them posted here. If everyone only uses 2 or 3 this should not be a problem. The size question should be settled by the admin team though.

Those are crazy awesome. No disrespect to RBC who just made new ones at the KC's request, but I really like these. What does everyone else think?

Those banners look great! Perhaps we should wait on a final name decision before anyone puts any more work into them though.
My only slight bugbear is the abbreviations for Garheim (GH), Loreos (LS) Lenfald (LF) and the Outlaws (OL) seem inconsistent? Maybe Loreos should be LR to be brought in line with the others (First letter, Middle-ish letter) or the others become GM, LD, and OW/OS (Outlaw/Outlaws) using the first and last letters?
Also how about purple for the mage badge? Seems more of a 'magic' colour to me, and avoids any confusion with blues for Garheim?
Alternatively you could inverse the colours on the guilds, so all the backgrounds are grey or whatever, and the motif is a certain colour instead?

Alternatively you could inverse the colours on the guilds, so all the backgrounds are grey or whatever, and the motif is a certain colour instead? Ad 1) I have only made the mockups you see in the image, should there be interest in these banners I would of course wait for a definitive name before exporting the rest Ad 2) All the faction names are made up - but Loreos is the only faction whose name has no clear separation of words or syllables: Len-Fald: I guess the etymology is Fen Fold (Forest 'Valley'?); Gar-Heim (Home of Gar/Gares); Out-Laws (self-explanatory); Loreos is different (isn't it always ) - I guess since Loreos is a land of plains and grassland and cavalry it would be Lor-Eos (for the horse Eos?), but LE seems/feels more wrong to me than LS. I chose LS because the small S complements the L in the font chosen for the Faction names (chosen not by me); In the end I think the Loreesi should decide internally which abbreviation they prefer. Also, from a purely grammatical POV it would be Lo-Re-Os ... so I decided to take the middle course with LoreoS Ad 3) & 4) Purple instead of blue is a good idea; Inversion of the guild colours is a possibility (to separate them from the factions), though the symbols would become indistinguishable in the quartered coats of arms.

Wow, those look fantastic Mitah! I love them! I agree, that the abbreviations you chose are perfect! Easily recognizable!
