... of course we need a 5tf note and a 23tf note. Plus some paper pocket change. Flax Seeds? :D

I'll take that under advisement.

23 was a RAW thing and is a subset of the Law of Fives (2+3=5). I'm thinking 1, 2, 3, 5, 50, 100.

But who goes on which? (Greg Hill on the 1).

Yea, I don't feel the least bit pressured. ;)

And, please, my name is all lowercase. (So that it blends in with the text, creating confusion! Yay)

YOu should still make a 23, and put William S Burroughs on it, due to his "captain clark welcomes you" bit.







Have no idea what I'm talking about?  look it up.

I like the idea of odd notes. Like a 2 and a half and a 23 DTF note really is a must. I'll do some if you want, to ease the pressure like. :)

Yes, in fact Burroughs introduced RAW to the concept of 23.

Nah, I can do 'em. (In fact, I want to! I'm inspired!)

Here's the people I need help vectorizing:

Darwin
Bob Black (I think this is him (http://evans-experientialism.freewebspace.com/bobblack.jpg))
PKD
WSB
Einstein (the tongue pic)

Also, any cool fonts similar to the one used for the text "1 Tonne of Flax".

[Edit: On further thought, WSB is a good idea. Also, I'm being very presumptuous. Please assist in the vectorization, Syn. Think: Font v.1.1 since I'll be adding them to the next release of the font.]

Quote from: synaptyxNice.

In my enthusiasm I knocked out a fiver:

Damn. That's better than what I came up with (a rehashed 1 with Thornley and the pent ring pointing the other way).

My initial inspiration seems to have been nothing more than forming a monetary system, instead of the art to go with.

So, here's what I have in way of monetary units. I'm putting the art on the back-burner until I get some further inspiration:

1 Seed of Flax
5 Seeds == 1 Pound of Flax
25 Pounds == 1 Tonne of Flax
125 Tonnes == 1 Linum Usitatissimum
625 L.U. == 1 Plutocracy of Flax

Flax Seeds are coins (greyscale only -- pov bump-mappish for coin stamping)

1 seed (Darwin)
1 pound (Bob Black)
5 pounds (RAW, WSB - two versions)
1 tonne (Greg Hill)
5 tonnes (Thornley)
25 tonnes (PKD)
1 L.U. (Einstein - the tongue pic)
1 Pluto (Nurb's Eris)

Note: L.U. is not "L.U. of Flax" since L.U. is the name of the flax plant.

I think we should actually use these as currency among Discordians.  Break the Federal Monetary monopoly!

I can't see that pic of Bob Black and I have no idea who he is, so can't really find an alternative. :lol:

He wrote "Beneath the Underground" and a bunch of stuff on anarchy (including an essay where he explains why the biggest problem with anarchy is anarchists). He was also sent a mail bomb by the SubGenius (or so he claims).

Not a real concern, since I can just drop the dual 5s and replace Black with RAW.

[Edit: you're gonna make me open submissions for a new version of the font, aren't ya? :D]

[Edit: Darwin.eps seems to be missing?]
