As long as we have a banner using some variation of "one...one...one..." and the date June 23rd, won't that still get the message across? After all, most advertised products use slight variations on their tag lines.

I agree with this. As long as we're relatively similar, I think we'll get the point across.

Besides, maybe if non-Browncoats notice the slight differences, they'll want to look into it more, to see whether we really do have "one plan" or if there might be more than one & we're just playing with their heads.

Just kidding!

One mission.

My vote goes to:

One day.
One mission.
One legion of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

I said in the original thread about sigs (link posted above) that the military analogy of army makes me uncomfortable. That's a personal issue - my family is German, and I associate the military with blindly following orders. Others have different associations, and that's why we can use military analogies on this board all the time without offending people. But since this is, after all, an international effort, I think we should try to tone down the military aspect. The words in the sig above hint at military, but you can interpret them other ways. Browncoats aren't military, per say - they're rebels. And going with the third definition of legion, also posted above, it means multitude, not necessarily army. I'm down with that.

p.s. To make this thread more organized, please just vote once, give your reason, and then let the immortals/PTB/Malnourished decide. Thanks!

One day.
One mission.
One legion of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Know what guys? I'm going with my sig. If you wanna tweak yours, it's cool. Just make them all point to the same place. :)

I love that you guys are so into this! It's so shiny!

I vote for:

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

I understand the worries about militarism associated with "One army of Browncoats" but remember - army doesn't just mean military. That's the first listed definition in the dictionary, but not the only definition. It also means a body of people organized for a particular cause or reason, and we do seem to be that. I don't think anyone will see the slogan and think that we're advocating a military action. Also, the phrase "We aim to misbehave" - whether one is familiar with the show or not - is light enough in tone that I believe it defrays any violent connotations that might potentially be embedded in the first bit.

STROKINGMYPETER

i realize it is probably too late to change anything, but i think it should be:

One day.
One mission.
One crew.
On June 23, we aim to misbehave.

you see I feel that we don't need to clutter the slogan with Browncoats in it. we know who we are, and with just "crew" you get the double meaning. it could be referring to the actual crew of serenity, or us as the crew of fans behind the show. just my opinion.

MALNOURISHED

I agree that identical sigs are not necessary. Everyone should use this in some form:

One_______
One_______
One_______

On June 23rd, _______________________

It is very important to include the date and the URL. Other than that, I think we can each write whatever suits our personal taste. If you don't want to write "One" three times then change it up.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

ok. So I have to ask. What did we agree? Are we gonna go with one? Is everyone allowed to make their own choice? Does it even matter anymore?
