But this would not do anything for the submissions whose colors change in route to Golden Dolphin. (Yes, it has happened). And, logistically speaking, which is easier? Revamping the entire storage method for all of Lurel's archives so that it is up to par with museum and library archival standards, or just telling people, "Hey guys, use Crayola markers." Yes, preparing your device on your computer, and then printing off color copies is easy. But really, the amount of coloring to do by hand on the forms to submit to Golden Dolphin is minimal, and if you aren't inclined to want to color your own device in 3 or 4 times, then how likely are you to put that same device on things later, such as banners, mugs, chests, scrolls, tabards, etc? The whole point of having heraldry is so you can use and display it. Before submitting, I usually tell people to draw out their device about 10 or 15 times, and if they still are not sick of it, then they should register it. ;-) Aye, Eogan Tighearn Eoghan Og mac Labhrainn, CP http://www.albanach.org Sacred Stone Pursuivant Extraordinary Web Master et A&S Minister for the Canton of Hawkwood "Checky Or & Vert, two lions combatant, tails knowed, in base a mouse couchant, all within an orle of roundels, Argent." --part2_3f.16263e5a.284d34ae_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>In a message dated 6/4/01 6:31:19 PM !!!First Boot!!!, admin@scahunt.com <BR>writes: <BR> <BR> <BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Then, perhaps, the issue might be resolved by changing storage habits, <BR>instead of restricting coloring methods.  A properly sealed piece of paper <BR>or, better yet, digital storage, would eliminate the fading of the pigment <BR>in the ink and thus allow for computer generated submissions.  </BLOCKQUOTE> <BR> <BR>But this would not do anything for the submissions whose colors change in <BR>route to Golden Dolphin.  (Yes, it has happened).   <BR> <BR>And, logistically speaking, which is easier?  Revamping the entire storage <BR>method for all of Lurel's archives so that it is up to par with museum and <BR>library archival standards, or just telling people, "Hey guys, use Crayola <BR>markers." <BR> <BR>Yes, preparing your device on your computer, and then printing off color <BR>copies is easy.  But really, the amount of coloring to do by hand on the <BR>forms to submit to Golden Dolphin is minimal, and if you aren't inclined to <BR>want to color your own device in 3 or 4 times, then how likely are you to put <BR>that same device on things later, such as banners, mugs, chests, scrolls, <BR>tabards, etc?  The whole point of having heraldry is so you can use and <BR>display it. <BR> <BR>Before submitting, I usually tell people to draw out their device about 10 or <BR>15 times, and if they still are not sick of it, then they should register it. <BR>;-) <BR> <BR>Aye, <BR>Eogan <BR> <BR>Tighearn Eoghan Og mac Labhrainn, CP <BR>http://www.albanach.org <BR>Sacred Stone Pursuivant Extraordinary <BR>Web Master et A&S Minister for the Canton of Hawkwood <BR>"Checky Or & Vert, two lions combatant, tails knowed, in base a mouse <BR>couchant, all within an orle of roundels, Argent."</FONT></HTML> --part2_3f.16263e5a.284d34ae_boundary-- ]
