A few questions about content...

Will there be...

1) Multi colored shields which we can place emblems on and use as a weapon?

2) Maple Leaf Emblem

3) Place emblems on either a) specific parts like chest, back and forhead or b) move/place multiple emblems anywhere on the body?

Just to make things perfectly clear.

I'm Canadian. You have nothing to worry about.

It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community.

Without an upside down Canadian flag, how am I going to make AntiMaple, the polite but deadly rogue mountie?

What's the deal with this? Are you Swiss? Or is the reference to Alberta?

A cross like that (either red on white or white on red) has become a pretty universal symbol for "first aid" and/or "medical services". Even the international version of that is the following:

Reminds me of the Jim Carrey cameo from Anchorman 2:

All joking aside I wouldn't mind if they allowed any symbol to be oriented in any direction so that players could make "anarchist" type characters.

I am, of course, familiar with the Red Cross and I understand why that's used as a generic symbol for medical services. Seeing a country's flag used for the same purpose is strange, at least to me. This thread provided an opportunity to highlight this confusion. [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3663670/]There's this article[/url] for those interested in a little more reading.

Thanks for linking to the article. I was actually unaware of the specific origin of the "red cross" symbol used by the Red Cross and it makes sense it was in honor of the Swiss national (Jean-Henri Dunant) who first organized the idea. But yeah I can see now in the time since then how so many people have sort of lazily come to assume that both the "red on white" cross and the "white on red" equally stand for the Red Cross without specific regard to Switzerland.

I suppose it's "kind of weird" for a current national flag to also be conflated with a trusted humanitarian symbol but really in the scheme of things I doubt I'm ever going to lose sleep over it. All things considered if you're going to have your national flag confused for something else I could think of a lot worse things it could be confused with and I suspect the average Swiss citizen doesn't care about this one way or the other.

Frankly I almost think it's more strange that there's such things as the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement#History_of_the_emblems]"Red Crescent" and "Red Crystal"[/url] but that may just be me. ;)

Well there's a whole lot of people who are -not- associated with the official Red Cross organization who long ago co-opted "some kind of cross with colors red and white" to simply mean "first aid" or "something medical oriented". This is why I have a pretty hard time caring whether any of these people know that one of those combos is identical to the Swiss flag. Again I've never heard of a Swiss national saying they cared one way or another. *shrugs*

To be perfectly honest a thing that bothers me more is knowing how many countries use the same "red, white and blue" colors for their national flags:
[list]
[*]Australia
[*]Chile
[*]Cuba
[*]Czech Republic
[*]Democratic People's Republic of Korea (a.k.a. North Korea)
[*]France
[*]Iceland
[*]Lao People's Democratic Republic (a.k.a. Laos)
[*]Luxembourg
[*]Nepal
[*]Netherlands
[*]New Zealand
[*]Norway
[*]Panama
[*]Russian Federation
[*]Samoa
[*]Slovakia
[*]Taiwan
[*]Thailand
[*]United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Island
[*]United States of America
[/list]

Talk about being unoriginal...

I'm pretty sure that we'll be able to choose the colors ourselves, or at least I hope so since it will hugely expand the possibilities for a fairly small amount of work.

Actually, that bag is Not from the Canadian Red Cross. It is provided by St. John's Ambulance. I know, I have that exact bag in my car for emergencies.

I’m more irritated by the Caduceus being erroneously used as a medical symbol even though historically it has nothing to do with medicine. It’s a symbol of Hermes and represents commerce and/or diplomacy.

IMAGE(https://static.wixstatic.com/media/490ec9_7da6075aa73a4d0891f101de7c65b494.jpg)

The Rod of Asclepius is the Ancient Greek symbol of medicine. It’s totally different.

If you want to talk about national flags being misappropriated, how would you feel if you were from Libya? At least up until 2011 this is what it looked like:

Yeah wasn't it your crazy idea that "clipping" was more like what this [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_%28computer_graphics%29]wiki page[/url] talks about? Coincidentally this wiki page in question ends with the following paragraph that probably summaries your main issue with this:

Quote:

For historical reasons, some video games used collision detection optimizations with identical logic and hardware acceleration as the occlusion test. As a result, non-specialists have incorrectly used the term "clip" (and its antonym "no clipping") to refer to collision detection.

Unfortunately because I'm old enough to be "historical" it'll continue to not bother me when people use the term "clipping" wrong. ;)

To go wayyy back to where this thread started lol, in answer to your question 3, they did show on the Twitch videos the ability to put emblems on different parts of the character's body.
