Can you flip the lions so that they're backs are at each other? Misterxeight 01:24, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but that does defeat the iconic "look" I was aiming for, i.e. Agamemnon's Palace at Mycenae. Here's a link: http://www.greeceathensaegeaninfo.com/a-greece-travel/a-h-historic-destinations/mykines/lions-gate-vaulted-corbel.jpg Zahir 01:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Nevermind then. Misterxeight 01:29, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh I have a better way for them. Can the lions do that pose with the colum except with the cross? By that I mean they're on their hind legs (like on the wall) with the front legs on the horizontal part of the cross? Just a suggestion, it doesn't really matter. Misterxeight 01:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

HOnestly, no. While I am a really excellent manipulator of photographs and other artwork, I suck at actual drawing. But I can probably put a column there, with or without a cross. Let me know. Zahir 01:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

That seems _way_ too reminiscent of SNOR. The Imperialists would be opening themselves up to all sorts of comparisons that I'd think they would rather avoid. Maybe replace the cross with the doric column. Benkarnell 01:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh no, it's fine. Sorry, you've done AWESOME work for me so far. I didn't happen to get David Galanis' age right did I?

There's just one thing. The Inncer Circle is way to racist to even tolerate Slavs. At least that's what I'll write when I stop be lazy and actually do it.

Then they'd DEFINITELY want to avoid association w/ the Slavist SNOR movement. Benkarnell 01:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Damn. I didn't think that far. Maybe adding "We are the Lions of Greece" will help. Plus there's always spindoctors to smooth this up.   Mr.X8 Talk Contribs13:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

That was one reason I was trying to harken to something more purely Greek, i.e. Agamemnon's Palace. Mind you, that might not prevent the Imperialist Party from simply making a bone-headed mistake in designing their symbol. Look at the car company that tried to market the Nova ("it does not go" in Spanish) in Latin America! And the Nixon administration actually went along with Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP)! Zahir 02:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Nova. Silly. Well, based on what I've seen, the Imps are pretty savvy, politically, and pretty good at getting people on board. They successfully brought in one of their own to crown himself emperor, after all, and got everyone to accept that as a Good Thing. So I'd imagine that they'd put lots of thought into the symbol, avoiding anything that might be used against them. Benkarnell 02:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

How about this then? Harkens back even more to Agamemnon, but without the SNORist/Slavic associations. Zahir 03:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

That's the thing. Hellenismos is highly looked down upon, and a Doric column wouldn't look good at all. Almost all the Imps are Christian (all of them Orthodox, the rest are either Jewish, Greco-Buddhist, and even a sprinkling of Muslim") so the cross makes more sense. So I'm opting to go with "Hey they might be SNOR, let's like them less!! >:(" then pagans. Misterxeight 03:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
