NationStates

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?

the answer is "i hate fun and fucking despise when any random people advertise any random shit they're doing on our rmb without permission, but two RMBers liked your post before i saw it, so due to the Voice Of The People expressing positivity towards you i won't ban you." enjoy your cool gay flag

OP: Just so you know, this isn't actually Koth's flag. He changed it to support the Trevor Project, the charity subject of this year's NS Charity Christmas Fundraiser. Ditto Venico.

I do not understand the relevance, but I suppose the answer would be another question...why not?

Thank you, I hope to live up to your expectations!

Thank you, I hope one day you will be able to embrace fun!

This is interesting information....I am definitely eyeing up these flags now.

I am a waffle I sell waffles

Pretty Cool... I guess.

If you steal the flag of My Empire I will blow up you. (Irony)

Please dont Hipty Hopity Steal my Property

My bet is that the next flag will be that of Chicken Overlords, seeing as they are the largest region.

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!

Ah, cool, a semi-legend has returned or thereabouts. I'm afraid if you want my flag you'll have to pry it from a snek's cold scaly knife-y hands.

Well, obviously we have a Flag Thief in NationStates. He's climbin' in yo windows, he's snatchin' yo flags up, tryin' to steal 'em. So ya'll need to hide yo flags, hide yo banners, and hide yo standards cause they stealin' err'thing out here.

I am worried but im sure he would never steal a Goose flag? Right?

Mostly made of puppets.

Well, this ought to prove interesting.

I find this hilarious in all the wrong ways.

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.

Does the flag thief also steal non flag like regional flags/logos?

> "non flag like regional flags"

Like my regional "flag"

I have been told my "Flag" isn't really a "Flag"... so maybe I'm safe?
