T-Shirt Polls!
Mood: contemplative

Right then, I know it's only been like a day, but I've gathered what's basically been the T-shirt ideas from the last post. I hope this is okay.

Because there is a limit on options, I tried to just categorize some things (see Various N_A memorable quotes). And I suppose the most favored memorable quotes can be sorted out later? Also, please note that with fanart (ex: the recently posted patronus and ron's hand) and player art (Draco and M.B.'s art war) we need the permission of the artist, and I don't think we have that (yet).

Poll #313204 T-shirt Slogan / Logo
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 186

Choose 1-3 Slogans / Logos you would most like to see on the N_A merchandise.

Here is an unofficial PSA by ginger_slam: I drink Angst POKE. Do you?

ETA: Here is a good idea about N_A memorable quotes. Just to get a feel for it, I posed the idea to the wibble chat, which I had conveniently open. The suggestion on the floor is to ask the players and the nragers to submit their favorite quotes, and then vote on that. How do we feel about this? Discuss.

ETA 2: Also, could someone please contact me via email [ brieflycharming@hotmail.com ] or aim [ youvebeenpokd ] to discuss organizing this? Because I know I'm very bad at it, and I haven't really talked to anyone except via wibble chat and comments, and also, I'll be leaving soon to go to St Louis for a week. So, er. There you go.

It's a real pity that they don't seem to do badges. There has got to be some place out there that them...

Speaking as a player, I would dearly love a shirt, one with all the players' LJ names, memorable quotes, and perhaps I Survived Nocturne Alley. Choosing "Enraged" sort of focuses on one character alone, but it is a extremely nice tip of the hat to the fan community. (But then, of course Draco Malfoy certainly isn't one of Nev's favorite people!)

That would be pretty cool. The question, though, would then become which memorable quote to pick for each character. If that were the scenario, it'd probably work best if the players picked their favourite, as opposed to us engaging in endless rounds of voting.

Yes, I like that idea.

I think you're going to have a really hard time getting quotes from players.

daisy_drabbles @ June 28 2004, 19:01:28 UTC

Think it would be a better idea for us to pick out the quotes, and then post them for player review?

I read "Angst" as "August". Oh god.

fevvy @ June 26 2004, 18:38:08 UTC

i still like mood: enraged though, because, hello, where does our name derive from, and also, it's easily recognisable. i.e. things like RIP aren't so great because if you saw someone in the supermarket wearing it you wouldn't be able to go up to them and wibble/squee because you wouldn't know if they were part of fandom or if it was about something entirely different. i also like mmod: enraged because i suggested it on wibblechat, hee. :D

I just want to point out (and maybe I should have elaborated), that it probably wouldn't just be RIP. It would be more elaborate, I mean, as in listing the n_a players that did die, like the icons. Or something like that. Because if it was just RIP, than I agree, going up to a stranger who wears the shirt might just be a little weird. :]

ginger_slam @ June 26 2004, 22:17:13 UTC

Oh, it makes more sense to say: All the shirts (I assume) will obviously have a connection to N_A somehow, to make them identifiable as N_A related. Does that make more sense? At least, I'm just assuming/suggesting this is how the shirts be designed.

Theodore Roosevelt! Your username, "softly speaking, big stick carrier" comes from him doesn't it? His foreign policy was to "speak softly and carry a big stick." Erm. I am discussing History in nraged. No. Bad Kissyfish. *hits self* I was supposed to forget all that after the AP exam...*grumbles* *scrunches nose at self*

Oh! Yeah, actually. Not so much a big fan of Teddy, but I do like the phrase. I prefer the other Roosevelt. :]

akutenshi2007 @ June 27 2004, 02:54:45 UTC

Uh, I checked four even though you said one to three. Its only because I'd like to see Goyle's Insult a Slug Day along with various N_A quotes. Wouldn't Insult a Slug Day be memorable quotes anyway?
I have a question about 'N_A players LJ names'. Do you mean the names of the journals in the RPG? If so, that would be cool. I think that if they were the names of the actual players' journals then no way.

Also, hehe for I got linked.

ginger_slam @ June 27 2004, 13:07:02 UTC

Erm, yes. It's like when bands list their tour dates on the back of their shirts? Except with lupercus just_harry jadedsirius, etc.

gg_83 @ June 27 2004, 04:44:44 UTC

I had an idea: on the front, have Current Mood: and follow it with a whole bunch of some of the more entertaining moods. For instance:

Current Mood: enraged/CHAMPIONS/shiny/enraged/all-seeing/Hmph!/GO, CANNONS!/enraged/chuffed/PRETTY BLOODY CHEERY/Finnish/enraged/here/enraged

And so on.

Then on the back, in a larger font, have something like:

Current Mood: Either squeeing or wibbling. (Sometimes both!)

Thoughts?
