Unibot Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Is there like a 'historic' TWP Flag? Just a general question. I was wondering if someone knew of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well, I will say, the one we currently have right now is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 As far as I know, the current flat has been TWP flag for nearly all of NS history. Darkesia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 As far as I know, the current flat has been TWP flag for nearly all of NS history. *nods* I'd have to agree with that. I don't recall anything prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neenee Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I believe that's correct. I don't remember anything else very different, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unibot Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 That's cool. It's not unusual or anything for flags to remain persistent. NPO, TRR, TEP, TNP and TSP have all maintained the same flag for years. It's really only Lazarus that's kept shifting between designs. I was just asking because I've only ever seen the current design as a flying or rippling flag... most original flags were a bit less flashy.

Winnipeg Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 This is the oldest copy of the flag I could find on my backups...it's first version I made that both sides accepted after Eli's first delegateship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratellnoir Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cheers Winni, I didn't want to have to try to recreate this and get the colour/dimensions/layout all wrong Do you have a larger/svg version available or is this the biggest one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That one was done in Photoshop, so it didn't get any bigger....I did redo it in Illustrator a couple years ago though. I can see if I can export that to SVG. Hopefully this works for you. http://www.westpacific.org/images/twp.svg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous, Winni. When you say 'both sides' who do you mean and what year are we talking, if I might ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imadoofus Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I can't even save that one. Keep getting an error. Probably because it's a svg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That was like...2006 I guess...Eli could retell the events far better than I can...I only got involved in TWP after Eli asked me to setup new forums on my server instead of the old Invision free S7 forums...

Consular Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ah awesome. My attempt to recreate a larger version never got the damn colours quite right. Llamas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 January of 2006, it was an adaption (theft) of an flag idea of one of the opposition types, or perhaps it was similar to what they were using already here in TWP and I just gave it to Winni to clean up. I'm kinda color blind and not real impressed by that type stuff. I was in a motel in Jackson, TN on a business trip and had just got back from happy hour, F&P insulted me for what was going to be the last time (it wasn't), I went banject crazy, and we abandoned the old forum. I banjected everyone with over 50 endos, except for clockwork isle and Faeya. Heck I even banjected BBD, he came around though once he figured out I wasn't anti-community, I was just anti-jackass :ph34r: Pestarzt, Llamas and Papercuts and Skittles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkesia Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He didn't banject me! I was off on a mission someplace. Now that I think about it, wasn't that about the time the RLA destroyed Invaders' forum? The timelines get all jumbled in my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Sealand Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I believe Darkesia once said something along the lines of that a ejection isn't a condemnation, but rather a chance to reflect on ones actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New People Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 *nods* I'd have to agree with that. I don't recall anything prior. This was the original flag of The West Pacific. Just after its birth in April 2003, forces from the Atlantic Central Command, the military wing of what was then the first and preeminent military alliance of Nationstates, stormed the region. After a brief but bitter fight, the Atlantic prevailed. There was a struggle between the two commanders of that invasion -Reubenlucy and the Federation of Commercial Affairs- which bled over into The East Pacific, founded later. My memories of that are hazy now, though. Westwind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
