XTMS Saltire II - Some personal thoughts & suggestions

[Whidbey78]

Exactly. Let's take a break from all this for a while.

I agree.

While I favor a replacement it's a little too soon, the old "traveler" a bit too recent a memory. I have a few ideas rattling about in my head, as I'm sure others do. I'll just hang on to them for now and see what they feel like down the road.

Very good proposal Sushi. I like the idea, but the grass-roots nature of the Saltire and the fact that it just felt somehow "organic" to the site and community make me a bit leery that anything we come up with now would seem a bit contrived and forced. Perhaps, if we give it some time, a new traveler will present itself and we'll have something that is just as organic to the "new generation" of X-marks.

True. Even Kirk had to wait a while(and save Earth) to get a new one.

Of course, this could also be much like James Bond and best left alone after the retirement of the original(no offense to Roger Moore or Peirce Brosnan fans...I don't count the other guys).

I've been very ill since Jamie announced the retirement of the wee airship, so I'm playing catch up on all this (I'm not ill because of the announcement , but because I have an 11 yr old who likes to share nasty cold viruses she picks up in public school ).

I really like CDNSushi's idea, but I also agree with Scott (Artificer), that we should not rush into a replacement.

I also like KiltedKnome's suggestions that we somehow incorporate XMarks symbolisms into it (dandelion & tartan).

I wish I had an idea to suggest, but at this time I don't.
