As the title says, share your ideas here. From what I remember in Chat, Manuz said he could try to make a banner and bripods sister maybe, how is it standing here?
Also feel free to give suggestions for song and speech - I'm not a native English speaker, so I could use some help. ::)

Hello 10men!
Yes, i can do the banner, i just want to know how much time i've got to make it (more time = more spectacular and more effort on it, but i can also do something relatively fast).
For the speech, i'm italian, but i'll help as i can.

We have a little under 4 days to do all of the propaganda.
In chat, we were discussing to maybe depict something both very ancient and futuristic in the banner - like a Pharaoh with a Laser pistol or something. (We could probably find a funny fitting slogan for that too.) Just in case you need some inspiration! ;)

I have zero graphical skills but I could probably help write something.  If anyone has a theme suggestion, that would be cool.  Pharaoh with laser seems pretty awesome :p

Hey, I just had an idea for a banner thing. Some Hieroglyphics and underneath in parentheses it would say ('nuff said, old dudes rule!)
so kinda like:

%^*@&#%^!@)*@^ <----------- but these would look a little more ancient... ;)
('nuff said, old dudes rule!)  <------or some other clever saying...

kinda fitting into our Anubis thing?

I dunno... just a thought...

maybe it could be a freebie, for "extra credit"... never hurts to go above and beyond.

Song Ideas:

http://youtu.be/yGPjYbNAgzk

http://youtu.be/LO4zp4ud63U   <== my fav :P

http://youtu.be/CBkdo5fNpa4

I propose this: Remixed Ikari Warriors (http://grooveshark.com/s/Ikari+Warriors/Bao0?src=5)
I think we should make a poll to decide our war song!

For the banner i was thinking something more moderate.
I'd like to do a logo with hourglasses and crossed swords, printed on a flag waving at the wind. The background would be a desert with sand flying on the foreground. I'd like to do this ANIMATED (i think i can do this in the given time, otherwise it would be static)!
I'll start working on it this evening (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=this+evening&iso=20111003T2030&p1=345).

I thinked about our banner like this pic:

I mean that i could change the slaves head with the other tems logo the slave inspector can be an Anubis with 10men writing like a tatoo in his back.
Of course the slaves would be the 12 other teams head. in the back is the sun like a  :time sign.
What do you think?

I was thinking about something massive, such as the "sands of time" engulfing the other elements, as in a sandstorm:




But if want to go on a lighter and funnier note, the techno pharaoh or the slaves are definitely good choices! I think funny usually gather more votes than epic, so probably that's the way to go.

We could have on the pyramid the :time symbol, kind of like the all-seeing eye, except with time instead of the eye.

here's a very rough draft for the speech I came up with; lemme know what you think or if it gives you any better ideas.  Feel free to use any or all of this, with or without modifications. 




I will start by quoting a few lines from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.”

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

So what was it that devours all things, slays kings, ruins towns, and beats down even the high mountains?  The answer, as you may recall, is Time.  Time is, quite literally, the one unstoppable, unmovable, unyielding element.  Time always flows forward, and can never be destroyed.  Fire and Water, Air and Earth, Life and Death, Darkness and Light, Aether, Gravity, and Entropy; they all will eventually perish to the inexorable ravages of Time.  Nothing lives forever, and nothing lasts forever; when the War ends and everything is destroyed, Time will still be counting ever onwards, victorious and eternal. 

Time stops for nothing and no one.  Time has existed since before all of the other elements, since the beginning of the universe, and Time will exist at the end when nothing else is left.  Thus, not only is our victory in this War guaranteed, but it will be complete, utter and total, such that not even the faintest trace or memory of our enemies will remain.

Team Time will offer no mercy to its opponents, except for this one piece of advice: Resistance is useless.  Avoid the futility of attempting to stand against our might.  Be content to bask in the glory that is Team Time while squabbling amongst yourselves for a distant second place.

The dawn of a new age is coming.  Time will rule the world of Elements for all Eternity.
