The return of the Flag Thief!

Postby Flag Thief » Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:50 pm

Fashionably late to NationStates' 20th birthday, the Flag Thief returns!

For those new to my escapades, I steal flags of those regions and nations I find notable (or if I just find their flag to my liking).

Not to worry, however, as an honourable thief, I will return that which i steal on the next day (forgetfulness and real life interfering aside).

And now on to my first victim in a very long time! Feeling a little rusty, I expected to struggle with this first steal, however soon my old Flag Thief reflexes returned to me, and I spotted my first victim. A region which in recent months has been brought forth for a Condemnation in the honoured halls of the World Assembly.

The Communist Bloc

I approve of all the colours in this flag, a big fan of colour here, and I thought, why not make my own mind on the hospitality of this region?
Place your bets please, will they show to be welcoming to the years old tradition of the Flag Thief, or shall I get an all expenses paid trip to the Rejected Realms?

Wow, has it really been 9 years since I last saw The Flag Thief? I was barely into my NS career back then. And now I'm already sitting on my comfortable recliner! Almost feels like I really missed out on something, not having The Flag Thief around during the last 9 years. So much happened in that time!

I've sent in the army, the navy, the coast guard, and everyone to reinforce my flags. Reinforced concrete poles, armed gourds, and flags kept behind blastproof glass to stop the flag thieves. you will NEVER get past our defenceß

I have expressed concerns about that crazy thief of flags.
