Bound to Earth: A CK2 Earthbound Quest in an 8-bit Dystopia

OK, wait, I have an idea:
[ ] Eagle All-Stars (Name chosen because it matches our sports theming, it has a space reference, but subtle, and it sounds like a good name for a gang, which is what we seem to be running).
[ ] Logo: Can't draw, but i'm picturing a baseball bat on a red background, hitting a ball, in front of a stylized image of the planet.

Hm, this talk is giving an idea for an Omake, but I also don't want to burden Cross with even more work if they still are planning to make art pieces for every omake made.
 
[X] Name: the Beatdown League
[X] Flag: Dark background. We see a black-and-white face of C.D. . She looks grim and serious
 
I mostly just want at least one of the name and flag to have a callback to Earthbound itself. Have something tying us to our roots.
 
Been looking for decent flags to match some of the proposed names, but in the meantime, have this silly idea I had :V

POV: You made the mistake of asking Kyoko for help

[ ] Name: The Onnet/Eagleland Pretty League
[ ] Logo:

I thought back to how we learned about the Pretty League in River City a few updates ago and how CD wanted to be a part of them one time but couldn't. With how River City itself is in 8BD, I would not be surprised if it's also a gang/affiliated with a gang itself, and thus this idea was made.
 
OK, so, my finalized idea:
[ ] Eagle Quarter All-Stars (Can be shortened to just "All-Stars" for convenience)
[ ] Logo: Bright red background, with an image of Earth (or...Actually, is the planet in the default flag Earth?), rendered as a white silhouette, and with a baseball bat crossed over it. If someone looks closely, they can see a baseball moving away from Earth, visibly burning up, positioned in such a way to imply the bat hit it.

I think the logo idea is cool (the symbolism intended to be an oblique reference to our true purpose), and the name "All-Stars" is in keeping with the sports theming, while still sneaking in the space reference a lot of people want, but subtly enough that I don't think anyone will catch on it's more than a name. I am slightly worried about the logo, whether it's too blatant, but, hey, that's why we're workshopping.

For a flag design, a bat hitting a planet like a baseball is kind of great in my opinion.

The Eagleland Commision still has a place in my heart though, it's a good cover name for a criminal gang, it's sport themed, if we're delinquents it's a funny juxtaposition, and if we're more refined the name matches as it sounds like a proper mafioso organization.

EDIT: VOTE TIME!

[X] Plan: The Eagleland Commision Rises
-[X] Faction Name:
The Eagleland Commision
-[X] Faction Flag: Black and white (for less expensive flags), a baseball bat swinging and hitting a ball, the ball is planet Earth (with America as the main continent seen). A circle of dots or stars surround it.

With this we can be anything from refined to delinquents, keeps a name that could be sporting themed as a cover while also plausibly sounding like a criminal gang name that deserves respect.

I'm pretty set on the design but if anyone has better ideas for colors I'm open. I like black and white for a variety of reasons but it's not the be all end all for me.

[X] Plan: Angels in the Outfield
-[X] Faction Name: The Outfielders
-[X] Faction Flag: Similar to the default flag, except the background should be black, the comet outline should be red, and the planet in the center should be a baseball with dirt smudges to resemble the planet originally on the design.

Haven't quite been sold on the other suggestions floating around. I don't feel like we should be leaning into making our org name explicitly space/astral related, and Eagleland Commission sounds a little bit too formal to me. Could be swayed toward something else or could nudge the flag design a bit.
 
[X] Plan: EDF! EDF!
-[X] Faction Name: The Eagleland Delinquent Front (EDF for short)
-[X] Faction Flag: Two black baseball bats crossed at the top, forming an X. A skull shaped like an ant's head and donning a police officer's hat is right below this X, all on a white background
 
[X] Plan: Buzz-Buzz will be honoured
-[X] Faction Name: Buzz-Bats
-[X] Faction Flag: A starry night sky, with a Yellow and Black-striped Bat in the middle.

Figured I might as well, I came up with this name so I'm making the Plan for it too.

Before I go to bed, I'm going to have to point out the reason I didn't go with 'Eagleland' for the semi-joke EDF option is that Eagleland doesn't exist.

Feels a little weird to be in the Eagle Quarter calling it Eagleland. And I worry that might, in much the same way as people worry about being overly space themed, also result in getting the wrong kind of attention from people in power.

Honestly, going to go with:

[X] Plan: Angels in the Outfield

Think the baseball thing with the flag is a little bit tacky, but it kinda sorta works as something trying to hide what it really is I guess? I honestly think the default flag is really solid and think a lot of people are trying a bit too hard with flags, but that's just me.

I also know that my personal choice probably isn't going to get it. So I guess this will do.
 
[X] Plan: Default Dancing
-[X] Faction Name: The Bounders

I'm gonna be a basic bitch and pick this one. Also, just read through this Quest! Very fun and cool
