Map Continuation 3 - Flags, Crests, Emblems,...

[Canis Lupus]

He's not being Krall-ish and rude, he's simply pointing out the fact that the Union Flag doesn't exist in this ATL because England and Scotland never united, so it's impossible for Norway to have it on their flag! Do you have an explanation for it?

Yeah.

Another nation/people ended up with a flag that looks alot like the Union Flag of OTL(just like the Sawtika wasn't invented by the Nazis, but was in fact a Bhuddist symbol originaly)

 

[Krall]

Yeah there is.

Er, no, there isn't a Britain ITTL consisting of England and Scotland.

But besides that, who said it had anything to do with England?

I had assumed that you had confused England for Britain.

You are not god of this world, so it is entirely possible(nay, I say likley) that some other nation would have created a Union-Flag analougue.

I'm not a god, I'm a mod, and I say that there is no nation with a Scottish-English union flag of the type depicted in your flag for Norway.

It's not, no more than OTL Hawaii is.

Ah, good point.

Oh, and I'm not changing the flag, so get used to it.

I don't have to, I have the power to remove you from the game [or at least removing Norway from your control], if I feel it is necessary.

Unless you give me a very good reason why:

1. Another nation/culture other than a united Scotland and England would come up with the flag shown, and

2. Norway would then have this flag as part of their own flag

Then I'm not allowing it.

There's an England.

I had assumed that you had confused England for Britain.

Don't assume, it's a dangerous thing to do

I'm not a god, I'm a mod, and I say that there is no nation with a Scottish-English union flag of the type depicted in your flag for Norway.

It is not a flag of a Scot-English Union.
(ittl)

I don't have to, I have the power to remove you from the game [or at least removing Norway from your control], if I feel it is necessary.

Ooo, I'm so scared.

1. Another nation/culture other than a united Scotland and England would come up with the flag shown, and

2. Norway would then have this flag as part of their own flag

Then I'm not allowing it.

Can you read?
Look:

Yeah.

Another nation/people ended up with a flag that looks alot like the Union Flag of OTL(just like the Sawtika wasn't invented by the Nazis, but was in fact a Bhuddist symbol originaly)

Okay, EL, I know what it's like to believe you're right and that other people are stupid. I've got in trouble for stuff like that before, only to come back later to realise what an ass I'd been. So, here's the deal: log off, calm down, come back to this thread in a day or so and either accept my decision and change your flag or defend your position by describing in detail how you came to have such a flag.

I already told you:

What more explanation is needed?
(and dont dictate to me, it only makes me angrier)

 

[Canis Lupus]

change your flag

I wasted an hour making the damn thing, I'm not going to waste another making a new flag.

If someone else wants to, then they can make one for me, but I am not going to use up moreof my time on what is a very minor element of overall gameplay.

 

[Canis Lupus]

Seriously, just go relax or something and then come back to this thread later when you're in a good mood.

I gave you your explanation, what more do you want
DO NOT DICTATE TO ME.

 

[Krall]

I gave you your explanation, what more do you want
DO NOT DICTATE TO ME.

A detailed explanation of how a specific other nation or culture could have that exact flag, and a detailed explanation of how Norway would come to use that flag in its own.

(Observers should not that I deleted the post EL is quoting, but only so I could then post it again after his second post, in order to make sure that he sees it. Unfortunately the post couldn't be posted because it was a "duplicate of a post I had posted less than five minutes ago", which is true, though I deleted said post.

I hope that made sense.)

 

[Canis Lupus]

A detailed explanation of how a specific other nation or culture could have that exact flag, and a detailed explanation of how Norway would come to use that flag in its own.

If you are going to ask for a detailed explaination from me on my flag, then it is only fair(and should compel you) to do the exact same to every other flag that has been posted so far.

But I dont expect that.

You have been nitpicky throughout the game, and it is drawing alot of the fun element out of the game.

That is the whole reason we sign up for these things, to have fun, which is rather hard to do with you picking every little detail to death at every turn.

I want to play this game, because I want to have fun, but if you are going to be as nitpicky in actualy gameplay as things have been going in the setup of it, it may not be worth it.

Seriously, why? It's not like the last Map Continuation was so realisitic *cough*Irish Empire*cough*

But I bet it at least was fun...

I'll take the flag down, but sure as heck do not expect me to take the time to make a new one.

Every other flag that's been posted doesn't contain the flag of a nation that doesn't exist ITTL in their canton. Your flag is unrealistic compared to other flags, therefore it requires greater explanation.

It's your nation, if it doesn't have a flag it's your loss, not mine.

Then we have an agrement.

My Flag

The Flag of the Republic of La Plata . Since the map for South America has not been posted yet it doesn't officaly exist , but it will be my claim.

You guys will never guess which country I based that flag off of...

I also have an alternative version which I will probably use.

Either that , or...

Half the nations in MC are unrealistic.

Just a quick note: despite posting a flag, your claim is by no means guaranteed. It may also be unrealistic, considering there's no Spain ITTL [though there may also be a way to get around that fact].

 

[Communist Wizard]

Here we go. Flag of Burgundy.

Yeah I plan on trying make it based off of other spanish *contacts* , a reformed government , I also realize it is not garunteed. Were exactly is the POD? Also I know the name La Plata is spanish , but its a cool name

 

[Canis Lupus]

Edited Kingdom of Norway(I'm not so sure about the Green cross inside the White cross,though I like the idea of it, I can't find a color that looks right[Though the green is close, Green {apparently} being the unoffcial color of the Sampi people IOTL, which would indicate a shared history with the Sampi to Norways north])

 

[Krall]

The POD's around 1200. It's still possible to have a nation called La Plata, if it was a Navarran colony with a lot of Spanish-speaking colonists.

Here we go. Flag of Burgundy.

I have to bring up the "looks too much like an OTL flag which has nothing to do with your nation" issue. Why not just a Cross of Burgundy flag?

 

[Axeman]

Hmmm the flag of Norway now looks very intresting , I personally think the main center cross would look better if it was green all throughout with white trim.

 

[Canis Lupus]

I have to bring up the "looks too much like an OTL flag which has nothing to do with your nation" issue. Why not just a Cross of Burgundy flag?

I thought the Red St. Andrews cross was a Frankish symbol?

EDIT: This is apparently the flag of Burgundy IOTL:
