>having to manually industrialise because my capitalists are niggers who are refusing to invest in anything
private capital was a mistake

Why is R&I still making threads when his ban evading threads keep getting deleted?

What just happened to the other thread?

It was made by a ban evader, HPM. He keeps making threads and they keep getting deleted because he's ban evading.

Yo paint map guy you seem to be good with cheatownering, draw me some possible borders for a post-nuclear apocalypse USA. It seems like mostly the coasts got hit, the flyover regions are fine.

Speaking of, are there ways to turn land into uncolonized?

Is HPP better than BlackICE? I like all the flavor shit in BlackICE, but people say the AI gets entire armies spawned when they start losing and absurd defensive bonuses

>posting in a ban evader thread

What's up with your Capitalist sprite?

It's Loadsamoney.

literally why

Do you have just the sprite so I can use it?

Why are fascist flags so edgy?

I know that, I was just kinda surprised that the janitors waited so long to cull it.
Reminder to support and reply to funposting.

>mods delete yet another perfectly good thread
after 2 threads have been made and the duplicate was deleted
why
just ban /gsg/ already

ah yes

Because capitalists have loadsamoney.

Pic related.

Because it was made by a ban evader. What part of this do you not understand?
Fuck off, HPMIDF.

proofs?
if that was the case the thread would have been deleted in favor of the other thread during the end of the old thread

>proofs?

>if I repeat this enough times it will become true

>10/3/17

how the fuck does this proves that any of them made the old thread?

>if i refuse to acknowledge the bans page literally showed HPM was banned at the exact same time as R&I for the same thing, evasion, it'll stop being true
Just put your trip back on, Alex.
Oh wait, you can't.

>implying anyone would be so retarded to keep spamming that style of OP knowing it's liable to get you rebanned for being Grandi unless they themselves were Grandi and had a bizarre compulsion to have that exact OP

where are you, AFPG?

>tfw you'll live to see /gsg/ liberated from Grandi at last

That's the style of OP used here since 2011
Why would mods ban someone for using it?

...

...

bullshit shit

good post

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

...

...

thanks!

>before that it didn't used to have one before "Report and Ignore it" and "How fares your empire, /gsg/?"
Hi newfag
boards.fireden.net/vg/search/text/How fares your empire/page/50/

What the hell are you talking about? I never said it didn't have how fares this empire, I'm saying it didn't have an additional "Reminder to Report and Ignore shitposting" between "Report and ignore it." and "How fares your empire."

If this is some kind of attempt to move the goalposts or strawman you've failed miserably. The fact is Grandi changed the OP to add an additional unnecessary R&I warning because he fetishizes that phrase.

I'm here now. Tomorrow I may not be here much by the way.

That's okay lad, did you think of any flags for a south-eastern brazilian nordic flag?

>the whole OP style was changed by one line

>he didn't change the op system retard
>s-so what if he did
I fucking called it.

>ban evading
wew lad

r8 my loadsamoney sprite at the top of the thread
I did the flat colour thing you said to do, but it still looks shit.

>thread once again devolves into drama about tripfags

who the fuck cares

talk about videogames

>>That's the style of OP used here since 2011
>no it isn't one line is different
pedantic

It's hard to make it out, even if you know what it's trying to be. Since the shapes are bigger than in my storm trooper sprites, you could give it a little bit more shading, maybe.

this man is right

we should all forget about grandi being a ban evader seeking to control the thread

t. grandir&isteamgroup

>adds superfluous R&I message, demeaning the value of the phrase and essentially supporting shitposters
>is a ban evader
>"n-none of this matters!"
HPMIDF really are pathetic.

Whats the best version of HPM to play if I also want to be able to genocide?

0.3.9.1.

Show me a better France

>keep spamming that style of OP knowing it's liable to get you rebanned
>that style is used since 2011
>no it's not there's one more line
Really made me think

...

He changed the OP to get his ban evading shitpost message in. Either you are him, still ban evading, or you're one of his redditard supporters. Either way I'm sick of trying to convince you that a ban evading shitposter shouldn't control every OP.

>anyone who posts that will be banned he said
>it's the same style that's different from the classical /gsg/ style because of one line
Really fire the neurons

This Dutch flag is too good, did you make it and Setty take it or I installed it at some point? Can't be the vanilla Vicky flag, it'd just have a hammer and sickle over it.

Could you make me a flag for a Balkan Union that's essentially a USSR Red Army remnant mixed with local old Cold War communist governments? For Ukraine and Belaruse (they're also similar, but weaker because Poland cucked them) I plan on throwing in some of your flags because the CWE ones are squished as fuck.

Also some non-commie Balkan Union flags would be good too, maybe throw in some Byzantium influence, but no ebin Roman memes on that please. If there's historical flags for it, use them instead.

>>it's the same style that's different from the classical /gsg/ style because of one line
So if I were to put in "We DO actually have a steamgroup wagglers arise!" That would still be the same OP to you, would it?

I didn't make that flag, and honestly I'd disagree with you in that it's good. Shitty neon colours aside, it's using the Yugoslavian CoA for some reason which makes no sense. If anything, it'd make more sense for Belgium to use the CoA of a country made out of many nationalities. And actually that's the vanilla flag IIRC, that should tell you something about its quality. The only thing going for it is that the Yugoslavian CoA is pretty cool looking, the flag itself has no merit.

>a flag for a Balkan Union that's essentially a USSR Red Army remnant mixed with local old Cold War communist governments
Are there any more details you could give me? Like you want it to be heavily soviet inspired? Or Balkan influence? Also did you check my BYZ flags in my pack? You could probably use the Republican one since it was a flag designed as a "Balkan Union" flag originally.

Heavily Soviet since its basically half a Red Army/USSR Remnant for the communist version, Balkan, greek+pan-slavic/maybe Orthodox? For the non commie variants.

Just checked the pack and it could easily be the democratic version, yeah.

Do you have a description like that for every flag? Id be interested to know where some of them come from.

Fascism and gommunism are the ultimate edgy ideologies because they're based around killing people you don't like. This is why they appeal to kids and dumb people

>It would be the same style
ah yes

...

I'll see what I can come up with for the Commie one, then I'll think about the others.

>the only alternative to communism and fascism is centrism
>implying i'm a moderate

get dicked

> getting passive aggressive
> not being a centrist

>not voting centre-right like any reasonable person

passive aggressive memer

Make me a flag for a superpower fascist Persia about to solidify their control over an area of land stretching from Ethiopia to Khazakstan.

Could you also put this in Vicky dimensions? May as well go full early 2000s dystopia memes.

Also just realised the Black Hundreds flag would work well for a Norsefire-aligned Russia.

>being such a sheeple that you follow a left/right scheme

as in, this

Alright.

What would you like to see, vaguely?

>What would you like to see, vaguely?
Nothing, I just like telling you to make flags of absolute memes, tbvqh.

Me too, not gonna lie

Make me a flag for people who like demanding flags from you that they have no intention to use solely for meme purposes.

Already made you enough flags, Hitlermod.

im not him
Though, for all intensive purposes I am exactly like him. Except I'm actually white.

BTFO

AFPG = GOAT

WIll AFPG consider making the threads AS WELL as the flags? Replacing the monopoly of Grandi/R&I?

>WIll AFPG consider making the threads AS WELL as the flags? Replacing the monopoly of Grandi/R&I?
Damn, that would be a dream come true.
Until he actually started copying Gr&i's "three R&I messages" meme.

I was more of thinking that he could make official flags for /gsg/ and maybe even t. /gsg/

Made this one first because it was easy. Still mulling over the Soviet one.

>No Antioch
It's like you aren't even a real norman.

What would a Ming California be named?

Ming Mong Ching Pong
Which translates into "Californan's Republic"

What I'd do is read this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_California , and come up with a set of two words that are the etymological source of "California", and then translate it to Chinese.

Made me have a giggle, good job lad

Yeah, found something that sounds neat, Gāoshān

You guys think she feels any sort of guilt or shame over being the monarch that lost the empire?

What words did you use to come up with that?

Another suggested source is kali forno, an indigenous phrase meaning "high mountains".

The page says it's unlikely because spics named it California before they spoke with the Native Americans, but who cares, it's a Ming-colonized Western US coast, it's not supposed to be realistic

>ywn give young mommy liz a pearl necklace over her royal tits
why even live

What is the best CK2 porn mod?

Sure, post pop density and pop culture maps.

Shame there's no way to force Turkey itself into Turkestan. That would be pretty bloody epic if I do say so myself.

How's this?
I combined the symbol of the Soviet Army
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Army
With the logo of the Yugoslav People's Army.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_People's_Army
I think it looks pretty slick.

>Eastern Rumelia

Not gonna lie, I think it looks pretty slick too
AFPG, now that I created a name for the chink colony of Gāoshān, could you create a flag for me?

Your Iran looks lobotomized with all the land you gave the Turkestani.
