 In an effort to contribute something worthwhile to Talossa (and maybe move up in rank in the Zouaves!) I've decided to try once again to start a Talossan Merchandise store thru one of those print on demand sites. Since I had trouble with Cafe Press, I decided to try TeeSpring. I managed to get a tee-shirt created. (Or did I? After making the shirt, I clicked back to the home page and it says "Looks like you haven't created any merchandise yet!" What the hell?!!!) Am I just making a mistake trying to do this on a phone? Are there any easier sites to do this on? How hard can it be to slap a simple, two color Talossan flag on a damn t-shirt?!!! |

Would there even be a demand for this stuff? None of us who have been here for awhile would probably buy anything, but maybe it would entice new citizens if we had some stuff (besides the coins and stamps.) (I mean, I don't know about y'all, but I'd buy a Talossan t-shirt.) I'm just frustrated by the user unfriendliness of these sites. I was hoping to get all kinds of Talossan images available on all kinds of goods, and it took me a half hour just to get the flag on a shirt! (I know I'm largely tech illiterate, but I didn't have this much trouble designing our (forthcoming) Cjováni Cookbook!)

 Well, it says it works. Someone get on TeeSpring and see if you can find this thing |

Great initiative!
Big issue for me is that it should be advertising for the Kingdom, and thus maybe writing saying KINGDOM OF TALOSSA est. 1979 would be good to add?
Or would the coat of arms work better than the flag?

Miestra, if I can figure out how to do it (and can get images with high enough resolution so it doesn't look crappy when it gets blown up), why can't we do all that? Even items with provincial flags on them. (Look, this is me we're talking about. This will probably be another big failure on my part. I'll keep trying, tho.) (I'll keep messing around with it. I just think the process for doing this should be easier!) (I think the main problem when Vitx and I were trying to do this with Cafe Press was image resolution quality. A lot of the images I'd like to use won't look good when blown up to fit on a t-shirt, handbag, whatever.)

Dammit, I give up. Guess I need a real computer. (Seriously, I've been wrestling for the last two hours to get a simple image on a shirt, and AD whips this up.)

Nah. Putting a web address on it just screams "We're an internet club". Interested peoples seeing such a shirt should remember "Kingdom of Talossa", and then Google it on their own. You can buy shirts with the American flag on them that don't have "USA.gov" printed underneath.  |

I'm putting this down for you as one of the five exhibitions you need to advance, by the way, Iason. Trying to jumpstart merchandise again definitely counts!

Any chance you could take over doing merch again, AD? I could assist with design ideas. (Didn't we go through this before? You passed it on to me, then I passed it to some other guy who immediately thereafter dropped out of Talossa?)

Talossaware comes under the authority of the Ministry of STUFF, but I would advise strongly that Ian Plätschisch should consider AD to take over the role, should AD want to. |

Take it, AD. I'll assist you. I'm good at coming up with design ideas, and completely inept at putting them on actual merchandise. I've got ideas for Talossan shirts, iron on patches, sports jersies, window decals, you name it.

How about you do it, and I assist you?
