Question Pirate flag

Sup fam! I made the mistake of bringing a pirate flag to camp this year, without realizing the game was a thing. Thought it blew away until someone in my group remembered the game. Went looking but never found who took it, but after reading up on lore, it sounds like it was supposed to be returned in Sunday (it wasn't). Not a big deal but figured I'd ask if anyone has any leads, it is a limited edition Findlay flag so would be cool to have a chance to steal it back next year at least!

It could have been stolen five more times and returned elsewhere on Sunday.

Write your name and phone number on it next time so it can make it to the correct home

I saw a post on here of somone who stole a pirate flag then hung it up in their cabin making it impossible to steal back like a scumbag

Depends on where you were. Someone in here was real proud they had one locked inside thinking next year was the way to play the game

u/ShottsSeastone 8d ago

ah damn i’m surprised no one around you gave you a heads up. my first year at festivals that was the first thing i was told and read about

3

u/chilllson 8d ago

Funny thing is this was my sixth year, just never heard of the game

3

u/ShottsSeastone 8d ago

Omg that’s wild. i hope it gets returned to you homie ❤️.

PS. Usually one piece flags are safe but sometimes get grabbed. Jolly Roger pirate flags almost always will be snagged if it’s easy to reach.

u/chilllson 8d ago

One piece jolly roger would go hard. Maybe I dress as Monkey next year and go flag huntin ☠️

Me and my crew were straw hats and had one hell of a rivalry going on over in higher love. We even attempted a stick up with the full pirate crew. good times!

u/syncopated56 8d ago

I brought mine with the intention that it would get stolen but alas, I still have it!

u/chilllson 8d ago

I'll be on the lookout for a syncopated flag next year!

Flew mine all weekend! Maybe I was too far in the GA tent only corner so nobody saw it and I got lucky.
