As i now have a new computer I am getting back to work on my flash patch project. as of right now these departments of divisions have no patches:
Special Interdepartmental Elven Linguistics Unit - DF/SIELU - Poison Ivy - No Patch
Special Operations Division - DF/DSO - Bonsai Monkey Puzzle Tree - No Patch
Division of Multiple Offenses - DMS/DMO - Cattail - No Patch
Department of Misplaced Flora and Fauna - DMFF - The Waterlily Commander - No Patch
Department of Out of Character Hobbits - DOCH - The Authoritative Elanor - No Patch
Department of Plagiarism - DP - Venus Fly Trap - No Patch
Grammar Division - DTE/GD - Grammer - No Patch
Linguistics Division - DTE/LD - Barbosa - No Patch
Division of Historical Inaccuracies - DTO/DHI - The Strawflower - No Patch
Timeline Distortions Division - DTO/DTD - unknown - No Patch
Disturbing Acts of Violence Department - DAVD - Big Thorn - No Patch
DAVD Intelligence - DAVD/I - Elder Evil Tree - No Patch
DAVD Medical - DAVD/M - Spirit Tree - No Patch

Biotic Materials Division - DoSAT/BM - unknown - No Patch
Physics Division - LD/PD - unknown - No Patch
Trans-Normal Accountancy Division - LD/TNAD - unknown - No Patch
I have no clue what the following patches would even look like:
Department of Redundancy Department - DRD - Coriander - A White Staff with the Note E
Repetitive Department of Repetition - RDR - Cilantro - A White Staff with the Note F-flat
Department of Personnel - DoP - The Marquis de Sod - A Flaming Stick Figure wearing a Bowler Hat (trust me, this one is harder than it sounds)
Legal Department - LD - The Fern - The Legal Chao (What the frell is a Legal Chao?)
Any help is appreciated. All help will be credited on the appropriate patch and in any collections I make. -

Just want to poke my head in briefly to suggest a separate thread if you're going to suggest all-new flash patches. In the past we've voted in patches for departments without them.
In the case of SIELU, though, I know Hellga has been here relatively recently (meaning in the last year or two, IIRC), so it may be possible to get in touch with her. Maybe someone has her friended on LiveJournal? Anyway, I'd say ask her about SIELU if you can before making something up.

My current one for the SIELU is Sindarin text reading wisdom.

For a) starting the suggested thread or b) contacting Hellga, the answer is no, because it's you lot with the ideas, so you can explain them better than I would. I'll be sure to vote if you make a thread for it, though. {= )
However, I DID find what were Hellga's e-mail addresses when she was active, so if either one still works, you'll be able to ask her about the SIELU patch. Here you go:
tar_daedin (at) hotmail (dot) com
crazyhellga (at) yahoo (dot) com
Good luck!

Well both would be helpful. I would be grateful if you could start the vote threads, seeing as I am new and do not have a lot of pull around here.

"Pull?" What is this 'pull' you speak of? by

In other words: You're in the PPC, you've been around long enough we mostly know your name, and we don't do things like rank and serial number-- go ahead and start the thread! You don't need a PG to do stuff on'Board, and PGs aren't Mods (even though they do assert moderation where necessary). That's what the 'Board is here for!

After Spending a year said high school I became neurotic and aggressive. About three years later I still have a low view of my self worth and am very scarred of retribution for mistakes.
Anyways, as soon as I get some more work done I will post a few vote threads. -

I'm sorry to hear that. And don't feel like it's just you-- internet communities can be strange places, and it's understandable to feel... unofficial?
But that's fine here. We don't do Offical too wellexcept for actual spin-offs. Feel free to post relevant topics-- as long as you're not flooding the page with multiple new threads on top of each other, absolutely nobody will mind! -

The Department of Misplaced Flora and Fauna could be a sheep, a palm tree, and a mountain. Or something along those lines. -

... I recently had was the SIELU flash patch should be an LoTR elven word. My word of choice was wisdom but I am more than open to suggestions.

Wisdom doesn't sound bad. What about the word for knowledge? Spelling? Linguistics? (I'm not sure there's a word for the last one.) A dictionary falling on a pink stick figure's head?

Wisdom was the only smart word I could find that was in LoTR elvish. Unless I have a premade pic it takes forever to make a patch. I also must admit that the LoTR elvish text appeals to me.

Do you know how to post pictures on the Board? I made something that could be the DMFF flash patch. It's got a pixilated panda, palm tree, mountain, and ocean on it.

The Legal Chao is explained on Legal's wiki page. by
on 2010-10-20 19:12:00 UTC
Reply
"The Department Head has stated that the purpose of Legal is to maintain the balance between order and chaos, as represented by their Departmental logo, the Legal Chao. The Chao (pronounced "cow") resembles a yin-yang with order represented by the five-frond fern on one side and chaos by the anti-gravity apple on the other. The significance of the anti-gravity apple is unknown - it is rumoured to represent the Head of the Physics Division, a former Head of Department, or something else entirely."

Fun fact - there's no such thing as an F flat. Technically, it's only a half-step from E to F, so an F flat's really an E natural.

They do, in fact, represent the same pitch, hence their use for these particular patches.
They do both see use in written music, though, so there IS such a thing as an F flat. Probably not often in the same piece as an E natural, though. Unless it changes keys. Or the composer is a real bastard. >.>
