I used the signal flags only in use before 1910 or there abouts. As I didn't want a specific message displayed, I decided to just show them all...

Yes, I find her to be a most successful project.

good idea. It is not uncommon for ships here to simply show a regalia of all flags

JA! Das ist die Kaiserin des Meeres!

(And that is about the best I can do in German...)

I'm glad you like her, she was a fun ship to come up with.

I've been working with Kaiserins in my latest timeline so... I have become fond of the title

It's a solid and traditional title. It is an odd thing how monarchies have largely gone, yet the titles of rulers still inspire us for all manner of things.

In my timeline, the Empresses of Germany are labeled Kaiserins because that is the feminine equivalent of Kaiser.

That is most true! The same could be applied to Austria as well.

I've always found it odd how in English language texts, Wilhelm II is usually addressed as Kaiser, yet Franz Josef is usually addressed as Emperor...

Kaiser became associated more with the German Empire than the German-run Austrian Empire, also, Franz Josef was a King-Emperor.

As was Wilhelm II. Although, it is more than fair to say that the Hohenzollerns were never as prestigious as the Habsburgs...

You know, I think this is the only time I've actually ever had a conversation about Germanic monarchy with anyone...

The Hohenzollern are better known now then they were back during the German Empire, because you learn more about the German Empire in school than you do about that of the Hapsburgs, who are usually just mentioned as the monarchs of Austria-Hungary. Sad, but I'm a Prussophile, so

I've studied a fair amount on Prussia and the Kaiserreich. Much involving WWI, but certainly not limited to that. Bismarck, for example, was a masterful (but perhaps misplaced) political genius.

Even though I am one of the "Reds", I admit a soft spot for Imperial Germany...

Yessir! She's a big one.

Interesting coincidence. I was meaning to ask you about the ship's name (if it was already taken), although I doubt there would be an issue with a military and civilian ship sharing a name. IF you would prefer the ship's name be change, I can do that.

I would also like to inquire into the Cooperative "Tri-Color" rings again. I know you'd told me, but I can only recall green and yellow (I think...)

She's based loosely off of the SS Imperator and the SSVaterland (SS Leviathan and HMS Majestic more famously...) I'm tidying up the portholes, adding lifeboats, and getting some of the flags/banners and such one would expect on her, thus why I want to know the specifics about the CoOp flag.

in the lone islands, ships are regarded as people, and because the cooperative basically sort of governs all ships, they all have different names wether they bear cannon or not.


The tricolor rings are as follows, Peace is green, Humility is black, Truth is gold. They balance eachother out

Every ship to sail the sea or sky bears the tricolor.

Alright, I will need to request a list of all ship names you've come up with so far, so that I may properly rename the vessel.

Thank you for remind me of the colors, Green is the top, Black the bottom left, Gold the bottom right, yes?

PaxAeternum In reply to The-Necromancer [2012-09-18 00:13:00 +0000 UTC]

gold is on the top, black to the right and green to the left.

I DO have to compile a name of ships. Will you be on the hall tonight?
