Glad to see Fun With Flags is crossing over.

Geez, edited for stupidity.

This is cool, thanks for doing it.

1, 2, 4, 5. I wish I remembered what Burkina Faso's flag looked like so I can vote for them just because I like to say Burkina Faso.

#4 does NOT look like a flag of a real country. It looks like the cover an L Ron Hubbard novel or something.

I think it is the alternate state flag of Arizona

I don't understand what we're doing at all.

Posted: **Mon Jul 09, 2018 4:35 pm**

So we're voting on appearance of the flags?

Very hard to remove political bias, but since I'm a big man, I did so.

1 and 3 are much too busy and 4 is just plain dumb.

We are setting up by-laws discussing between what hours we can post and how long each post can be.

One easy way is to be a geographical dipshit.

1 and 8 have the traditional Muslim Sta’ar if that helps

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:27 am**

Morning bump as we currently have a tie for 2nd place and I’m taking a beach day. Will move on to the next group tomorrow

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:45 am**

Baffling that a flag with god damn Zulu weaponry doesn't get more run up in here.

Racists.

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:49 am**

It is just not an appealing flag. Too much clutter.

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:56 am**

spears

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:57 am**

If it were just (symmetrical) spears, it would get more votes.

Posted: **Tue Jul 10, 2018 9:18 am**

I also have to admit that I love the name of that country. So that's playing into it. But, mostly...

ZULU WARRIORS.

You need different length spears for killing British colonizing motherfuckers than you do for hunting antelope and shit.

And I freely admit that when I saw the 1964 classic Zulu for the first time (must've been on an early version of cable or something, I'm not THAT old), it freaked me the fuck out and those Zulus were fucking dope.

I mean... Or it looks like a 3rd grader tried to copy the state flag of Arizona.

There's something about it that just looks amateur to me.

If you are really into this I recommend finding The Gist podcasts where the host talks to a vexillologist (there are several episodes).

It's not all good news for France this week as Réunion gets passed at the last second. 2 and 8 move on from Group A

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 6:40 am**

EDIT: Nevermind, got it. GROUP B open for voting

EDIT 2: Nope, I still can't vote again. WTF

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:31 am**

I can take my votes away and change them. What if we all did that?

Edit: No i cant!

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:34 am**

I was able to just change my votes and it worked. But that requires everyone else to be able to do that.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:35 am**

OK, how's that?

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:40 am**

Because it matters, I'm told the thing on Flag 6 is a traditional hat. And #7 has two dogs next to a shield and the word "OCEANO"

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:28 am**

Oh, Swaziland. Back when the Swamp played Nation States, I used that flag.

Because you're a bad ass.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:19 am**

1, 5, 7, 8. Much weaker group than the first overall.

#2 is overpraised IMO. Too busy.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:55 am**

#8 has always struck me as being cool.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 11:04 am**

I'm already learning that if you're gonna go basic tricolor, you better come with some good-ass colors. Europe will be a bloodbath.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2018 11:33 am**

Digging 2 and 5, the rest are all kind of meh to me.

My favorite was the Zulu shield. Some of you feckers have no taste.

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2018 6:40 am**

South Africa gets segregated from the top 2. Some say it was too busy, while others thought it boering.........................................................................................

GROUP C NOW OPEN

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2018 7:36 am**

C is the group of death.

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2018 8:27 am**

Ok, now you sumnabitches have NO excuse.

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2018 9:14 am**

3 & 4 in group C are contenders for the World Cup finals. Classics.

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:27 am**

Current rankings:

1. Masai shield
2. Soapstone bird statue
3. A fucking machete

Also thought Ethiopia would have a better showing with its RastaCult star. On to Group D, up all weekend

Posted: **Fri Jul 13, 2018 12:57 pm**

Wow. This one is surprisingly difficult.

Muthafuckin' seahorses!!?

And, seriously, go home #5, you're inebriated.
