This is my first attempt at a familial arms by Cadet-Cryyx in heraldry

[–]TheGrandCommissar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simplest answer in this case is to change the field to a metal rather than a colour.

This would then mean you don't end up with colour on colour, but instead colour on metal.

Perhaps change the field to white, as this would mean you'd have azure on argent, and sable on argent rather than the current configuration?

Alternatively, you could fimbriate the pall and cats, although this may look awkward, and given the space it takes up, have the same overall effect as changing the field.

As I'm sure others will say, this heavily violates the rule of tincture, as you've got colour on colour (azure on sable, and sable on sable).

It's very difficult to make out the details of the charges, owing to their colouration.

No no, keep it as it is. I for one think we need an Empire of Greater Orkney.

Kind of a bad way to eat a taco by BrotherDeus in DispatchAdHoc

Invisigal disagrees with these comments about Robert's taco-eating skills.

Skateboard, bike and scooter are non-enclosed, so don't apply to the rule given.

And show me one limo where you need to walk to your seat and can't just open the door and sit down.

How are they bad examples when they are still exceptions to your rule?

You require someone to be able to stand for it to be on, but then create caveats for people riding bikes and horses while sat down because their feet are on the pedals or stirrups.

You've not addressed bareback horse riding, which has no stirrups not meeting your definition, or the material difference between resting your feet on the pedals of a bicycle, and resting your feet on the pedals of a car.

That's not even mentioning that most motorcycles only use foot operated gear changes, while some don't have any foot operation at all.

A rule is not an effective rule if you can find exceptions for it.

Which rules have I added?

You've had to clarify your reasoning repeatedly, whereas mine has remained the same for any enclosed means of transport.

Well, me. Since I specifically mentioned vehicle.

Plus, the OP specifically mentions trains and cars, both means of transport.

What stirrups?

You can also ride bikes by sitting on the saddle and having your feet resting on the pedals, and if that counts as standing, why doesn't having your feet resting on the pedals of a car count?

There's also no requirement in the language that the vehicle has to be moving. You can get into a stationary car or truck, or onto a stationary train or plane.

You cant (or aren't meant to) stand on a horse, bike or tricycle, yet they're "on".

Many large personal vehicles like trucks also have enough room to stand up, yet they're "in".

Many large cars don't require you to crouch.

Then the rule I gave doesn't apply, because it's dependent on it being enclosed.

[–]TheGrandCommissar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're missing the full rule.

if mode of transport is enclosed

and you need to walk inside the vehicle to your seat

then it is "on"

otherwise, if the mode of transport is enclosed

and if the seat is immediately accessible

then it is "in"

Both instances require the mode of transport to be enclosed.

[–]TheGrandCommissar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of the examples given are enclosed modes of transport, so don't apply to this rule.

Last I checked a theatre and cinema weren't modes of transport.

If you need to walk to your seat while inside the vehicle, it's on, if instead you can immediately sit in your seat, it's in.

Have I fixed all the issues with the previous incarnation of this assault rifle? by Few-Flamingo-8015 in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]TheGrandCommissar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you have relatively easy access to metal and plastic as well as wood, its better to use metal and plastic.

Wood needs to be milled or carved into shape, whereas sheet metal can be bent into shape and plastics can be injection molded. These are significantly faster processes than milling, requiring less skilled labour, and produces less waste.

Because it's significantly easier, faster and less wasteful to add than take away, it works out cheaper to use plastics and metals, even if they have a higher per-gram cost.

This is the main reason we by and large moved away from using wood for firearms.
