First off... If there is a better title... lets use it..
now for the meat and taters of the email
http://oanda.sca.org/
since you all were so kind to help me with my device..
figured i would attempt to do my own badge
now.. this is the badge i am attempting to conflict check
Blazon:
Fieldless, a cross couped quarterly argent and gules, overall a mullet of eight points pierced sable
Emblazon:

now... coming to the "oanda"
i broke it down into several different queries
First i looked for fieldless - returned on the query as invalid, so i went in and manually looked it up via the "F" link still nothing so.. onward
I then went onto cross... there are several versions of the cross, i wanted just a good old fashioned plain cross. so i did not add a descriptor to it
i came up with the following query : CRAC:multicolor:sole primary - because the cross is dual colored, and since it is underneath the mullet and first in the blazon i took it as the "primary" charge..
i found several, but none that appeared to be a plain cross.. and none that were quarterly argent and gules.
after pulling up the result list i checked for conflicts using the "find" feature built into my browser, typing two searches: {quarterly} , {argent and gules}
i then moved on to the mullet figuring that the cross was not conflicting, since i wanted my mullet similar to the ones on my device.
i came up with the following query : STAR:sable:4 or more:charged - because the mullet is of course sable, with eight tines or points, and i assumed the piercing counts as a charge ( mainly because the find f function pulled up pierced on the charged search and not on the uncharged)
again after pulling up the result list i checked for conflicts using the
"find" feature built into my browser, typing several searches including: {eight points} , {Pierced} , {Surmounting}
again i did not find anything that compares... did i do this process correctly? How about completely ?
id love to just teach myself... but this can get awfully bloody complicated, perhaps in the "I want a device. Now What?" thread that is going on, someone could make a sort of Oanda Primer?
once again, i appreciate your patience, and thank you all for the help and instruction you have provided...
