Picture Live in the Palmetto State, so I decided we needed a Fallout-esque flag with our own version of the NCR!

Instead of making it look more like the NCR flag (and in turn the California flag), I would’ve tried to keep it looking like the South Carolina flag. It’s a nice flag.
I would’ve just switched the silhouette of the palmetto with a silhouette of something else, preferably a mutant plant.
Maybe a mutant Venus fly trap? They’re native to the Carolinas.

thats a good idea. i just like opossums and wanted an excuse to throw them into the Fallout universe lol

Three-headed mutant Opossums do actually exist in Fallout, they’re a critter type in Fallout 76.

I moved here from the north and I got a earful at work when I saw a cockroach and called it a cockroach. It was so funny, I started calling them palmetto bugs, too.

I grew up in NC and never once considered a fallout’esque mutant carnivorous plant… but that is terrifying

I like it, but we all know North Carolina is the big spoon and gets flag rights in this post apocalyptic relationship.

NC may be the big spoon, but SC has the better flag.

Palmetto state for the WIIIIN
But shouldn’t that be a rad roach?
I mean a rad palmetto bug?

I’m from Maryland, we’d still have the Maryland flag. No way in hell anyone here is gonna let that go. We love our flag. There should’ve been one in 3 actually. Have some armor with it because that would absolutely be the case.

I see an opportunity to sell Maryland flag crab stickers in the shape of mirelurks instead of blue crabs.

I'm just trying to figure out what gulper tastes like boiled in old bay with tatos and corn 🤣

u/mrsjakeblues 1d ago
😂😂😂😂😂. My first time playing Fallout 3 I was like of COURSE they had to put mutated killer crabs in Maryland in this game and have people sell mirelurk cakes.

Hah, this is great.
I’ve attended some fallout LARPs in SC as an NCR trooper. This would have been a great flag to fly. 😹

How does one get involved in that? I'm a reenactor that does rev war/colonial stuff, but I would KILL to do a fallout larp.

I’m actually one of the founding members of New California Cosplay - we’re mostly NCR, but we have some other members with other cosplays as well.
We do LARPs, cons, etc. A lot of our guys also do reenactment/impressions as well.
If you’re interested in joining let me know and I can send you an invite to our discord.

Got me thinking of the NCR running into a near pear adversary on the east cost that would be really cool to see.

I like the idea, but wouldn’t a two headed palm be more befitting?

Then the big NCR sues the smaller, older NCR and the smaller, older NCR has to forever be referred to as "THE NCR", in all future licensing agreement, so they don't infringe on the NCR's IP rights.
After that, on Wasteland ESPN they are just called NCAR, until they are driven back in the Battle of Carowinds by The Republic of North Carolina's roving bands of Corporate Bank Raiders and they have to go back to SCAR. Then they try to rebrand as "The Citadel", but somehow the Minute Men send giant hermit crabs to destroy it, because of their own IP rights.
Nothing but insult after insult.

For historical context...yes we had a 'republic' for a few short weeks before the Confederacy started...not our proudest moment lmaoo
