We discuss the collection of flags
Old threads : >>57914186 and >>57966908
Old thread died early, no new flags today. Don't want thread to die, so I guess I'll try to spark discussion. What is everybody up to besides flag collecting?
>>57990870
Whats the flag next to the Pircairn islands
Yemen
>>57981415
it'll never be finished
>>57992180
forgot to add New Brunswick, I only need Newfoundland to finish Canada's provinces now
Hey, is it cheating to collect flags outside of /pol/?
Or frowned upon in any way?
I want to be legit. My flag collection is pretty big, but I'm finding that some boards have people from rare countries that don't typically post on /pol/ but might post on a specific board.
>>57992347
but this is /int/?
Some people might frown upon it, but people frown more heavily on collecting obvious proxies. /pol/ seems like it has the most proxies and /sp/ the least.
started 11/04
>>57991305
French Polynesia?
I'm enjoying collecting the British Isles flags. Especially now that I have all the American and Australian states.
>>57993002
I mean the one directly next to the Pircairn islams
>>57994033
I think that's the /pol/ colony flag.
Just started filling in the normies today, I've had a couple like French Southern Lands for awhile
I'm thinking of starting a 50 states collection
Does anyone have a good template I can use to fill in? Preferably a list instead of a map
Currently have 188 flags
explain how to install the thing that shows local flags.....as if you're explaining it to a complete idiot.
>>57994308
>>57994033
It is, it's the /pol/ colony flag. /pol/ talked about taking over the Pitcairn Islands and setting up a colony there, that's the flag for it. It's one of the many, many memes in my map.
>>57994630
Nevermind, I went about making my own list. Feel free to use it I guess.

https://flaghunters.git[remove this]hub.io/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/
Download the correct extension for your browser
Click on the page with the script in step 2
Hit install
Refresh /int/
Why are American state flags so shitty?
>>57995085
Get regional flags here:
https://flaghunters.github io/Extra-Flags-for-4chan/
First, use your eyes in conjunction with your brain to identify that the above text is, indeed, a hyperlink leading you to the website where you can download the browser extension which will allow you to add a regional flag and view other people's regional flags.
Second, fix the broken link by adding a "." (no parenthesis) between github and io.
This will lead you to the website.
Third, identify the type of browser you are using. You will search the following terms on Google for a program depending on your browser.
Chrome - TamperMonkey
Firefox - GreaseMonkey
Opera - ViolentMonkey
If you are using Internet Explorer, you will not be able to install local flags.
Once you have searched the term in accordance with your browser, follow the link and download the respective program.
Once you have downloaded the program, revisit the first link. Click on the blue text which reads "Extra Flags for int.user.js". This will download a script which will allow you to set a regional flag and view other people's regional flags.
You will then visit 4chan.org/int/. You will be able to set a regional flag in a box which pops up. Using your fingers, press keys which spell out the name of the region in which you live (you may have a choice between your city or state). You will then enter your region, causing others to be able to see your regional flag. You will also be able to see other people's regional flags.
There you go. Feel free to ask if a more thorough description is needed.
>>57995456
Very few of them observe good flag design, most are just the state seal on a single color background.
As to why, comparatively not that many people will bother looking at regional flags so why bother spending the time and energy to come up with a good looking symbolic one.
>>57995645
>(no parenthesis)
I meant no quotation marks :^)
>>57995456
Most states don't give a shit, they just slap the state logo on a blue background. Good state flags (IMHO) include Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Alaska, South Carolina, Maryland, Wyoming, and Indiana.
>>57996039
Hey m8, I know I might be a bit of a hassle, but could I get the blank template for that?
>>57996089
I have a slightly modified version if you don't mind

God I wish I still lived in Arizona or Alaska. At least I'll have a Mass/Boston flag later this year.
Had nearly completed US/Canada before just needed West Virginia and Newfoundland
Anyone got the regional template please?
Haven't got access to those files anymore so had to start again but have been slowly building it back up
>>57997355
I saw a West Virginia flag on /int/ like 10 minutes ago. Check /cum/ because that's where I was gathering state flags.
>>57997355
Here's a North American template, friend. Only need Utah and Newfoundland myself and a bunch of Mexican states
>>57997171
>he doesn't have the city flags
kek what a pleb
>>57997393
I do have it now so I would have completed USA
>>57997397
Thanks but have you got the one without Mexico?
There's too many small regions and I only ever see 3/4 different flags posting whereas US/Canada is realistic to be able to fully complete
>>57997413
>Outer Space
lmao
>>57993148
You've got the Birmingham (city) flag for the whole region of West Midlands.
Here it is though as I've posted it under both regularly in the past.
>>57997542
Oh, thanks. I thought West Midlands was a larger region, but just Googled it. Fixed it now. Anyone have a regional map of France? I only have a couple of the flags so far, but I want to get started soon.
>>57997493
No, but I made one just for you.
>>57993148
Wait so is this finally a definitive version of the UK or is Scotland still fucked up? I know I've asked this question at least a dozen times, but I'm still confused.
>>57997722
West Midlands is a region of the country like the South East and the North West but it's also a county formed in the 70s and is essentially 'Greater Birmingham'
You could fit both flags in there though
>>57997758
Thanks for your time, could have quite easily done that myself thinking about it haha
>>57997810
It's the latest regional map I've come across and it seems fine to me. I wish more people in Scotland and Wales used their county flags.
>>57997847
No problem m8, I don't have anything better to do, really bored.
Finished looking for state flags
Anyone know if I missed any other ones currently on /int/?
>>57997900
We all are, NCbro. That's why we're in a flag thread. Here, look at my Norway map for no reason.
>>57997870
Could I get that template m8?
>>57998033

>>57997959
I believe there's a Vermont out there, though I'm not sure where. Might want to grab that, though, it's pretty rare

Sorry about misinformation then, I thought there was.
>>57994599
I was just in the archives for /cum/
I found many of the missing North America regional flags you dont have
like IN, KY, NH, ME, MD, LA and QC
Didn't save the location for most of them but here's Kentucky >>57894383
Filled what I have for US/Canada again so far
Some major oversights here which I've seen post and thought I'd already
Green = city flag but no state flag
>>57999691

I can give you SC (I'm in Rock Hill atm) but I don't know how to change flag. Could somebody inform me real quick so I can help UK bro out?
>>57997959
Here's one for you.
>>58000365
Click the tampermonkey (or greasemonkey) icon in the top right. Then click set up extra flags for 4chan. Enter new region.
>>58000431
Thx m8. Testing.

Utah is a fairly frequent poster in /cum/ if you're looking for it
New York is surprisingly difficult to find.

No problem m8s, happy to help.

How do you decide your rating? A 10/10 would be a completed map I imagine, so how could that be 9.5/10?
Albania, Andorra, Cyprus, Guernsey, Jersey Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro & San Marino need to quit slacking.
>>58002375
half of those frequently post on pol
>>57994599
it seems you need my state's flag
>>58001892
I just kind of rate it, there's no rigid system in place. He has some great rares (South Sudan, Pacific Islands) and it's near complete so I just decided on a 9.5. Maybe not the best rating, so if he wants a good rating it's best to ask based Singapore or Czech guy
>>58002491
Im curious
How's Oklahoma?
>>58001656
Very well done on the UK
Why do you have North and West Yorkshire on the side of the map and not filled in though? You only need a few more for England
>>58002375
Same with you, you have West Yorkshire but it's not filled in

hmmm the cost of living is fantastic, impossible to beat honestly
I live in the southeast of the state so can't complain about the scenery, it's all green hills and trees. My town is only 7000 but it's only an hour drive to OKC where you can do just about anything. Being geographically centered in the US is awesome, it's about an even distance to anywhere you want to go in the country which is good for me because I visit Colorado and Utah frequently. The Natives are shit, truly the scum of scum but they keep to themselves for the most part. Not a lot of blacks or Mexicans (thanks Texas). All in all I will probably live here the rest of my life, it's comfy and all I've ever known.

Adding my flags, but here's my problem. I have the flag for Ayrshire, but the template has Ayrshire divided into North, South, and East Ayrshire. Are there flags for those three regions I haven't come across or are they just divided for no reason. Forgive me if I'm being retarded or a hassle, I just want to make sure I'm doing things right.

Nope, it's a regional for Serbia though.
To get England further sorted out we need:
A flag for West Yorkshire (the current ceremonial county, not the old West Riding.)

A flag for North Yorkshire (the current ceremonial county, not the old North Riding.)

"Durham" filename changed to "County Durham" (the city of Durham has its own flag).
Northumberland spelling corrected.

I lost my map on my old laptop, so I'm starting from scratch... Will look into regionals once I get all easy flags on my map again.
Question, does Svalbard show up as Svalbard or Norway? I remember years ago, it showed up as Norway, so why shouldn't it be connected, same with Bouvet Island.
Is there anything similar to /flag/tism so i can extend my autism
>>58019807
if you hover over the flag it shows upas "svalbard and jan mayen"

Even though they have a flag of their own, a legit post from Svalbard shows up as Norway. I'm unclear as to how you get the sj.gif flag but it isn't as simple as posting from there.

Is Colorado really that uncommon?
There was a /pol/ thread last night about flags, and I'm tempted to start collecting.
Damn, I remember when these threads were banned.

I don't see your flag a lot. One of the first I got though, then again my first two were Kansas and Kentucky I think.
>>58020216
Why would they get banned tell me elder
>>58020544
Mods deleted them back then.. in 2012.

What are those flags in the middle that say A1, A2, XX, AP, LY, etc?

It only appears when you use the quick reply box, just click on someone's post number, delete the number and write your post and it will appear.
Also I have this map, don't know if it's any good or not.
