Excuse me for not feeling the need to comment on every single little post.
In all honesty, I don't think copying the beat of the US National anthem and changing the words is a very good idea, no matter how well the words work. Now copying the Canadian national anthem... pure genious that would be.
Seriously though, I think we should come up with an original anthem (No, I don't have any ideas... Blame Hamlet.)
As for our flag, I think it should be dominated by Niv-Mizzet's eye.
Or maybe his face.
Just something with a lot of our self-absorbed leader on it.

I agree with Canada Man(still love that name), leaders should lead by example, making many (relivent) posts is important, and contributing to the discussion helps.
I have only been here a day but I can definatly see why someone would want a high ranked person in any organization to be a shining example for the rest of the group, otherwise it gives a sluggish and slipshod view of the society they represent, and that's no good.
Yeah, I know that the first verse is choppy, but I couldn't think of anything else to put, and hey, their overwhelming intellect is really the first thing they boast. I think I should edit it to have card tags...that might add to the fun of it
wow, lots of anthems. i dunno about the TA, but i still like it. all 3 of my favorite guilds in an alliance, of fire, darkness, and mystery, can there b a bttr combonation?
So far, I like UV_Chemist's anthem the best. It's really long, and let's face it: size DOES matter. We are the Izzet, after all. How about the flag though? I don't think the eye is good enough, as it really needs to be obvious that it's Niv-Mizzet. I'm thinking of an oval with Niv-Mizzet in it, but so big that he has to fit outside the oval. The rest of the flag could be one half red, fading into the other blue half.

I definetly like UV's anthem the best. The banner should be Niv from the neck up surrounded by stars and half red and half blue. Man I wish I could shop a little so I could gove you a rough outline.

You could always use MS Paint. Actually, I'll post my rough idea in the edit.

The flag could have a blue/red backround with a picture of Niv-Mizzet flying and breathing fire with a picture of the signet in the background (kinda faded if you know what I mean).
I like the idea of having Niv in th epic, but has anyone considered the pic of him from the fat pack box? He's in the middle of battle and looking his fiercest.
I like Dark2k's banner idea of Niv from neck up surrounded by red and blue with stars and symbols.
Also when do our submissions have to be in by? I've always wanted a reason to actually learn how to use my Photoshop, so if I have enough time before it has to be submitted I'll see what I can do. At the very least maybe make a rough one that someone else might be able to clean up and make look good.
Just so you know, there is currently a large discussion within the Gruul, Selesnya and Boros Hierarchy.
It basically goes like this:
OMG LOLOLOL GUILD CLANS ARE FUN FOR WHILE BUT THEY GET PWNED LATER ON SO LETS INTEGRATE INTO ONE UBER 1337 RGW CLAN! THAT WOULD BE T3H HAX!!!1!!1!!1! WEWT!
Currently, the Boros and the Gruul are trying to convince the selesnya to join but they seem happy to be independant. Does anyone else find it enormously funny that the SELESNYA, the mind-melding "I'll-kill-anyone-with-an-independant-thought" are the only one opposed to this? ehehehehe. I know I found it quite amusing.
So, while the Izzet are currently going fine, this might be a good idea to consider as far as the triple alliance goes (at least later on) Thoughts on this? ';..;'

I don't see this as funny. Selesnya or rather the Conclave is the youngest of all the guild clans and we are still shaping up at the moment. We don't think that we should merge at the moment because it is a consensual decision reached by all our members - so we ARE mind-melding on the issue.

I like the TA, but I also like being Izzet more. So I don't think I would be a big fan of merging 3 guilds into 1. We have a good setup with our Leadership and Council.

My mind's 'bout to blow up,
I'm an Izzet member
There's a million trillion things that I have to remember
With pops and bangs and serious flames,
It's the greatest workplace there is
I don't wanna blow up, but baby that's the biz
Either that or I'm snacked on by 'Miz
Also I did one today with O Canada lyrics that I changed, but I just don't think it has enough content.
It bring me great big joy
I like to blow things up
and Light fire to my toys
I no longer have eyebrows
The burned off long ago
But using my new formula
they are sure to grow
Our brains and boilers
are fool of steam
Under pressure always
we are quite extreme
We try and try
until we succeed
even if
to death, we bleed
With a crack and a fizzle
a whoop and a pop
some booms and some bangs
we made a cough drop
Oh, my heart lies
with the izzet
is it for me
or is it for Niv-Mizzet?
haha, Hey, I thought i'd give it a try. I like writing for Dimir more though...

Anyway goodluck with your own alliances.
Edit: Well, it seems I didn't miss much. Hold on a bit while I think on what the banner should look like (during english class).
Please post there and we'll get this one archived.
