Team Motto and other things

[classical_hero]

It would be good for us to have a team motto that we can use for our signature, just like Take No prisoners is from the MTDG.

Also it would be good to get some ideas about our team flag and banne and anything that could be useful for our team as far as symbols go for this team.

BTW, if you posted an idea in another thread, then just link it here.

I'm quite taken with this one ...



maybe a quote from ... Sun Tzu's Art of War

 

[gbno1fan]

How about this: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." -Sun Tzu

 

[fe3333au]

Found an interesting site on Military Quotes ... here is the Sun Tsu section.

I especially like these

All Warfare is based on Deception. ... Sun Tsu (Art of War)

Many calculations lead to Victory, and few calculations to Defeat ... Sun Tsu (Art of War)

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. ... Sun Tsu (Art of War)

Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. ... Sun Tzu

In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them. ... Sun Tzu

If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete. ... Sun Tzu

Anyone with other thoughts or suggestions

I like this quote. Well I did change it slightly

We decide who lives and dies.

Anyone who can guess where this is from can get a cookie.

 

[fe3333au]

The Board of the Oscars ???

 

[classical_hero]

No, it's a TV show that I took it from.

 

[Memphus]

We decide who lives and dies.

Sounds like Outer Limits to me....

As for on topic posts:

I like that Illuminati logo

 

[peter grimes]

I like it too, but there is an obvious problem. I wonder if we should go with something more... epsilonian?

 

[fe3333au]

Here we go



Regarding motto ... let's choose something that is subtle and can have many meanings. We surely want a motto that will fit in a myriad of situations, from anal MM'ing, Sneaky Espionage ... anything betwixt War and Peace.

I was thinking of maybe something to play along with the 3 & 1 logo... and tie into the whole big Brother thing... so here are my ideas...

Epsilon
Peace is War
Freedom is Slavery
Epsilon is Strength


-- Or --

Epsilon:
Love, Fear, Respect​

 

[peter grimes]

Oooh!

I really like Peace is War, blah blah blah!

 

[classical_hero]

Perhaps we could go with Peter Grimes Signature, but make it a bit more relavent to civ. Maybe, "If the war shortened the war by a single turn, the attack had served its purpose.

BTW, my first quote is from The Pretendor. The origianal is "I decide who lives and dies." basically this was said by a character who had been brainwashed by a corparation, "The Center". Basically we are ust like The Center because we want to control the world.

 

[peter grimes]

Here's a try... It doesn't work great, but we can work on it.

 

[gbno1fan]

That's an intriguing idea, Pete. But what if we came up with 3 words we like - peace, freedom, strength - and put them on angles with the hands. Then we put "Epsilon" in big letters along the bottom?

 

[fe3333au]

Starting to think we should change Defence to Department of Love

 

[peter grimes]

I really liked the doublethink that was implicit in General_W's post. I tried to put the phrases "War is Peace" (et alia) within the hands, but it didn't look so good. There are two longish phrases, and one shortish phrase. I'll show you in a little bit...

 

[General_W]

I like the logo Peter - but without seeing my proposed slogan, the most obvious interpretation is that we've listed a bunch of opposites…

Peace vs. War
Freedom vs. Slavery…

Epsilon vs. Strength

Seems to suggest that we're the opposite of Strength.

Maybe just 3 words, rayed out like you did would work better – if we want our logo to be all graphic.
I'd suggest "Love, Fear, & Respect"

-- or –

For more of a "slogan" based one, something like this…

Sorry for my crude MSpaint skills.

 

[peter grimes]

Like this?

EDIT - xpost with G_W. I like the slogan lines horizontal best. I didn't realize that epsilon equaled the opposite of strength!... that wouldn't have been too bright

 

[Memphus]

Wow those are awsome

I personally like the horizontal ones with the Epilson is Strength being the focus (as it is larger)

GOOD JOB
