This is great, I love it!

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on June 06, 2023, 02:18:20 PMThis is very very cool! I am going to share this on our social media as well.

Thank you Distain MinSTUFF, you beat me to it!

@Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB When you have a moment, would you please sticky this post so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle? Thank you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hmmmm... I feel like it lacks the opulence (the "panache" if you will) of the crown, it's also a little dark. I think it could work with some adjusting, I'm just not sure what lol

     The 2023 season of TCAT kicked off to much applause and excitement! Which, ever so slowly, mutated into the gnashing and weeping of Ghenna as day-by-day cyclist dropped like so many crumbs from a biscotti, grinding most team's point generation to a screeching halt!

Quote from: Danihel Txechescu on May 11, 2023, 01:44:46 PMThe what of what, now? I thought it was an inner beauty pageant!

And you're the most beautiful of all ;-D

Congratulations Danihel!

After deliberation and design with the petitioner, the attached logos have been approved for the Bureau for Humanitarian Aid & International Development.

I've attached both the SVG and a PNG version.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on May 08, 2023, 03:32:10 PMPersonally I might want to add an article before "Developind" as well, but other than that it's perfectly fine. The resulting acronym, BAÞDI, is also very fun to say (BAHTH-dee)!

Thank you for reviewing it for me! BAÞDI is fun to say, it rolls right off the tongue :-D

I would like to translate the name of BHAID into Talossan. Using L'Översteir, I put together the translation below. Please let me know if this is correct or what needs to be corrected. Thank you!

Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on May 05, 2023, 10:12:11 AMI REALLY wish someone had told me that there was a HUGE error in this edition mentioning King Robert instead of King John. I sent the newsletter as I usually do, without proofreading, as this is the government's newsletter.

My sincerest apologies Sir Txec. I had sent the text to you before you, Breneir, and myself had the discussion about the error yesterday.

God forbid this sort of thing happen in the future, but supposing it does, what would be the proper course of action?

Thank you for your assistance, and I sincerely apologize again for the egregious error.
