Mildville needs a flag.
To enter, design a flag for the S.S. Mildville to proudly wave. Either post your flag in this thread or message them to me.
- You can enter more than once - Your flag must be rectangular - Contest ends at noon pst on Monday. - Dead people can play. If a dead person wins, I'll give them a clue
At noon on Monday, we will have a 24 hour voting period where everyone, dead or alive, votes for their favorite flag. Whomever gets the most votes wins. You can't vote for your own creation.
A clue to unlocking the secrets of Mildville will be given to any living passenger who submits what I deem to be a "solid entry." Just a hint: drawing a stick-figure crotch badger inside a rectangle will not qualify as a "solid entry."

can there be a blind vote? Like say for instance, we email the submissions to you. You paste them in a pdf with a corresponding number, and then people email you the votes?

Yes, that's how it will be. I made a flag. Notice how the ship in the middle of the flag is flying the flag. So it's like, infinity, man:

- Vote for your favorite by sending your vote to me. If you vote for yourself it doesn't count. - Each player who doesn't vote or votes for themselves loses a vote from their final total. - Whichever flag gets the most votes will be our official flag and its designer will get immunity. Ties will be broken by whomever has then most total votes for all their flags. - Every person who designed a flag shown here will get a clue Attachments:

I was standing on the bow, taking in the gusty December lake breeze when I saw this boat pass through the mist. Haunting. Attachments:

The question is, will the best flag win because it's the best, or will the worst flag win because everyone wants their own flag to win so they deliberately don't vote for the best flags.
Just for fun, let's see if we can decipher who did some of these flags:
'A' looks like it was just plucked from the internet. It seems to romanticize the ship somewhat. I'll guess it's Paula.
'B' and 'E' appear to be done by the same person. They're quite juvenile, and the second one implicates Mike. My guess is that Mike did them.
'C' is very clean and took quite a bit of work hunting and compositing. My guess would be Annie.
'D' is probably an SNL fan. Most likely a guy. I'm going to go with Son.
'F' has a gothic-horror look to it. It probably required rudimentary compositing skills. My guess is Farrell.
'G' is obviously a Mad Men fan. Yesterday was the season premiere. This perhaps indicates an unfocused mind that acts on whim. I'm going to guess it's Sarah.
'H' is very clean and actually looks like a flag. 13 stripes and stars represent the 13 passengers, with a comical dead Captain Evan in the center. My guess is Son.
'I' appears to be simple and disconnected from Mildville in any way, however, the 10 boxes above the wavy lines represent the 10 living passengers, and the four stars represent Evan and the 3 passengers who are sleepin' with the fishes. My guess is Sarah.
'J' might have been done by the same person who did 'F'. They both required rudimentary compositing skills and both use fancy red fonts. I'll go with Farrell.
'K' appears to have been done by hand. Probably someone less technically inclined and into crafts. Most likely female. Paula is a possibility, but I think it was Judy.

Also, according your breakdown you didn't do one. I can't believe you didn't enter an immunity contest so you are obviously lying about something.

Hmmm... maybe he's trying to subtly nudge people to vote for his creation by attributing it to a player he believes will get votes for just being that player.
I'll say this. He's wrong about the one he attributes to me.
