Dear admin in charge of banners

[Phantasmal]

Who's "us"? The obvious trolls giggling like schoolgirls because their banners have anthropomorphic sperm and cuddly unicorns on it? What makes you think this is the "main" playerbase of crpg, and not a subset of 4chan/goon fanboys out to ruin the atmosphere of the game because it's "fun" to them, just like it's "fun" to ruin every other thing. Devs went through the trouble of setting up a system where people could have their own banners, they can very well choose what type of banner is acceptable.

They could just go back to a pre-approved list of appropriate banners like it was in the past and practically every other warband mod, then they wouldn't have to deal with retarded bronies and trolls trying to put the latest internet meme on a banner for shits and giggles. That would suck for all the people who legitimately used the banner system, but they're not the "main" playerbase of course, the 'tarded trolls are  .

-I am sorry that the small blurb over my head "ruined" your in-game immersion.
-Where did I ever make a claim about the "main" player base of cRPG? I will make one now though: I do not believe the average cRPG player cares.
-I highly doubt the devs will remove the banner system because I put a stupid looking unicorn on my purchased banner slot or else they would not be regulating it.
-I am sorry I tried to have fun. Obviously you know how to have fun best Oberyn, will you teach me?
-Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you also a troll on the forums?

I don't see anything wrong with the peasant banner. Compared to theirs, the current EU Merc banner has an image that really looks computerized and not something that would appear in medieval heraldry, yet it still remains. This isn't a knock on the Mercs, but if the devs want to enforce a stricter banner policy, at least be consistent across the board.

Phantasmal, when I reply to a post that is right above mine, it's pretty obvious I am responding to it.
The devs decide the criteria on what banners are acceptable. Apparently it's the devs that feel that certain banners ruin the immersion and the atmosphere of the game they want to create. I happen to agree. If it's such a barrier to your enjoyment of the game, and a sizeable number of other people feel likewise, maybe you can get them to change their opinion.
The idea that all banners have to be historically correct heraldry for the era is bullshit. As Penguin points out, the Merc banner is not a stylized representation but a realistic comp generated design. It would be out of place if that was the criteria. Personally I don't see much wrong with Ary's peasant banner appart from the offensive purple vomit, but that's mostly a subjective esthetic call. It fits the theme of his clan, which itself fits well into Warband and cRPG. Peasants with pitchforks are a stapple of the game. There's a world of difference between that and some of the other banners that got banned.

While some of these banners look really cool and well-made, I realize they don't fit the medieval theme and style. If devs want to make it more realistic, I totally understand why these were removed.

You forgot that cRPG isnt about being fun anymore, it's about being totally fucking serious and "mature". And I'm serious, fuck you neckbeards, go play some LARP's or whatever pieces of shit.

never forget. 4/18/2013

Edit: (or EU 18/4/2013)

never understood this.

why month, day, year.

I understand Japanese for example, they go year, month, day from biggest to smallest, just like in their society, God, emperor, shogun ...

Europeans go smallest to biggest, but American way makes no sense to me at all.

Whats about the fun for the devs?! They too want to have some fun, playing with their toys and showing off here and there? Why you want to ruin their fun? Do you not love them at least as much as your unicorns ? 

jk ... but in all seriousness, the picture is cute but no banner picture, that you should be able to understand - and its NOT about what other stupid banners are allowed around(!) . At some point there has to be made the cut for whats appropriate or not .... I suggest you compromise and make a somewhat less freaky comic style/MEME version. Look at it as a challenge and a way to deal with the situation and the other parties in the game, stubborness is not a virtue of real unicorns but harmony is  ;)

EDIT: you could still use the picture as a forum avatar or signature or so , if you want it to be your mascot ;)

I would have allowed this. It's too awesome.

[Berserkadin]

I can't really understand why certain people need to care so much about what banners other people use and then forbid them to use certain unserious banners because they're uptight assholes. Anyone here who can give some kind of not retarded reason except that you're a fucking sperglord?

[partyboy]

Signed in solidarity.  BIRD CLAN's banner was also deemed unacceptable.

I would like to use this banner now. The thing is it has been used by the Hungarian gentleman Istvan Varallyay:

You can't possibly remove banners for not being realistic enough unless they're Red Eagle style unless mercs lose their banner.

I'd like to hear the argument that motivated the removal of this banner.

That's a coat of arms, not a banner?
