I think the number of red stripes comes from the original 13 states... though I'm not sure...

Isn't that a bit harsh? It was obvious to people reading the thread that he wasn't a moderator, and a warning would have been just as effective.

So anyways, how on earth did you manage to screw things up like that? Inquiring minds want to know.

Some secrets will be taken to the grave!

My thoughts exactly. Maybe Markos just wanted to use his powers (which CyberShy didn't have) to point out the real moderator...

Is this action (banning) irreversible?

Can we get this one please? If the edges were trimmed the kangaroo would show up better.

[aaglo]

Pretty small kangaroo...

[Skanky Burns]

Slightly better quality. Only slightly though.
(Its the same size as the Euro flag, btw)

Close. The thirteen stripes (red and white) represent the original 13 colonies that were under the control of Britain. The U.S. first flag had both 13 stripes and 13 stars. Then when they added more states they added both stripes and stars (I think up to 17 stripes). At which point it became clear that adding more stripes was simply not going to be possible with western expansion, they took it back to the original 13 colonies thing and kept adding stars.

More seriously,
do you know why USA has red stripes?

red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American men and boys and the self-sacrifice and devotion of American mothers and daughters.

From http://www.usflag.org/i.am.the.flag.html.

Oh and the blue and the white:

...white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.
...blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.

after some discussion with the linesmen, the referee shows a 10 days red card to Skanky Burns as well

[Jon Shafer]

Markos, would it be possible to get a Civ 3 Demo Game flag for us 200 members? Pretty please?

[DarkCloud]

Oh come on Skanky, aalgo- he was violating the rules, hacking the fora, etc. He knew what he was doing was wrong. He deserved a ban. (Although I can't say I agree wiht Skanky's ban) Oh well.

[DarkCloud]

Just what the hell is that supposed to mean???!!

That's why they are revolting in Chechnya, they want a Muslim-Religious state in former russia.

I hate sepratist rebels. That's why I disagree with them fully.

do you know why USA has red stripes?

Stands for courage or something- Every color on a flag means something. I think Blue or Green is stability.

And sorry Solver, but I'd rather not debate. If you want to see my position, just look at my avatar.

so now that the loophole has probably been closed, tell us how you did it!
