[Meta] New rules and guidelines!

Post Body

So, here it is. In text format anyway. I'm going to work on a custom infographic for us (a-la Polandball tutorial) sometime later.

PART ONE: RULES

  1. ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCLE OR LINE TOOLS FOR THE CIVBALLS.

  2. If an individual person is depicted, use a cue ball (solid white) or other billiards ball, or that individual's political ideology (ancap, lib.soc, libertarian, etc).

  3. All comics must feature at least one civilization. (No comics consisting of solely cue balls).

  4. Images must be uploaded to imgur.com as a .png.

  5. Follow precedents about flag shape. (see part three)

  6. Post comics here before posting them to /r/civcraft. If it violates the rules we will tell you and it will be deleted. That does not, however, mean you can't post it to the main sub, as we have no control over that. We would prefer that you instead fix it and re post it here.


PART TWO, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: STYLE GUIDELINES

  1. Try to follow the drawing tips on the Polandball tutorial as best you can.

  2. Go easy on accessories (hats, clothes, etc.) If it makes sense in the comic (for example Prussia's pickelhaube) it's fine, but don't over do it.

  3. Try to use correct colors/shades on the flags. If you are unsure about the correct color/shade, message a person from the town in question.

  4. Phrasing-

Step 1: Is your civ based on a real country? Yes?
Does that country speak English? Yes= English (with appropriate accent) No= Engrish

Step 2: If it is original, look at the population. If the majority of the players speak English as a first language, it should be used (ex: Carson).

Step 3: Don't know? WING IT! If anyone has a problem with your phrasing they can leave a comment and you can change it next time.

Step 4: If you want to depict your ball having a certain accent, use smatterings of that language's words. For example:

"I am Latvia, I love my potato."

is

"I am of Latvija, I is lovings kartupelu!"


PART 3: EXCEPTIONS TO RULES AND GUIDELINES

Line tool is okay to use for:

a. Borders of panels

b. large background objects (walls, ceilings, shadows).

Flag shapes:

Modern Carson is of cube (or hypercube, if you are talented), Old Carson (2013) is of square.

Prussia is of REICHTANGLE. Eyes are of small white dots.

Fellowship is of Hexagon.

Saraliana is of banner (or ball, dependings on artist).

All other are balls.


Some common (but not 100% necessary) Accessories:

-Loveshack's scarf & coffee

-Orion's Sunglasses

-Little Latvia's potato

-Prussia's Pickelhaube
