NationStates Jolt Archive

Greetings from the Free Land of Mentarior! I have been baffled lately why some nations are allowed to have flags from nations that already exist. I am also baffled that some nations can create a flag, but use it twice or as many times as they want. I think the website needs to be updated with these changes:

1. On the settings section, a person must make his own flag by uploading it from his computer.

2. When a person makes a custom flag, he can use the design only once. All other instances of the same flag being used will result in some mild form of punishment for the nation.

I think my idea is worthy of attention

Thank you,

Just because a flag already exists doesn't mean that it can't be used more than once.

Some players of this game have multiple nations (i.e. Puppet Nations) that fall under one main nation.

some regions requier alll memebers to use the same flag

Real life flag of Indonesia:

Some flags can and will be the same in RL, the game is no different.

Quick note to make, IRL, the Monaquese flag is smaller in length, although same sized in width.

I think the game would be more FUN if people would actually be CREATIVE instead of sporting a modern nation's flag. I guess I'm the only one who like original ideas around here.

Not all people have very artistic talents, Mentarior. They may not want to make their own flag, or they may feel that they really like one of the RL ones given.

Also, it would be extremely difficult for the mods to enforce "He has the same flag as me!" complaints. They would have to have some way of finding out who had which flag first, which currently is impossible.

The mods aren't going to use your ideas. They've had requests to change the flag rules many times, but they've all been refused.

Oh, and by the way...

Does not belong in the Tech forum. I consider that a slight insult to our respective intelligences.

I see no reason to change our flag rules nor any reason to require people to make custom flags or avoid repeats.

Perhaps I should note that many people have little to no artistic talent?

This request is denied.


Finally, a friendly note: This is hardly the way to make friends or good impressions on other players.
