HOI Avatars?

[King]

There is no independant Soctland during WWII, so I'll be sticking with my EU avatar for the moment.

What would be really cool would be to release some divisional motifs e.g. Desert Rats as avatars

That could cause a whole load of trouble, some division motifs carry a bit of extra baggage, if you see what I mean.

Still think Paradox have overreacted to this

You saw some of the interesting posters that appeared when HoI was announced. I think that Paradox have not overreacted but rather some people still have some outstanding issues when it comes to World War II.

Would it be technically possible to have different avatars in the HoI and EU fora?

Possibly but it would a whole lot of hassle to do. I don't see Patric going for it. However you can ask the man, you never know.

Storing 2 avatars in the profile (one for HoI and one for EU) and then displaying the correct oen accoridng the forum is not imposible, just a whole load of hassle and lot of extra work for the servers. I don't see it happening.

I just was curious. I'm quite happy with the one I have now...

The only other avatar I would consider using is the lion rampant. That ain't available so I make do with the one I have got.

I suppose the reason I ask is I'd love a Canadian avatar...

Remember in WWII Candian didn't have a maple leaf as a flag.

I know! I much prefer that flag to our current one - it has some emaningand history, and wasn't a bland flag designed by a parliamentary committee so as not to offend anyone.

Time to riot in streets then? When I first saw the flag I was playing Pax Britanica (it was a counter btw) and I thought wtf. I often wonder why they changed it. Then I found out someone thought it was a good idea at the time and no bugger can be arsed changing it.

Well they changed it because a fair number of people want to deny any knowledge that we were once a British colony. Of course that leads to a rather warped view of history in many people

Being a British colony is overrated if you ask me. However it is stupid to deny the past. They are on a renaming spree in India and now people are going hang on you are destroying out our past, ok it wasn't a particularly great part of our past but it's still our past.

And in the early 60s the flag here was very controversial, but after almost 40 years I'm afraid we're largely stuck with it. And to be honest, if you've ever seen some of the earlier proposals for a flag it could have been a lot worse.

Do you have a link I would like to see them.

Holy shit, you guys got of lightly. There are people with too much time on their hands in Canada by the looks of it. If that was the compitition I can see why the current flag won.
