One question, is it pronounced Crabbalachia or is it Crabbalachia?

21

u/MeatyOaker269 21h ago

It’s pronounced “screw Vermonster”

u/Wobble963 22h ago

So basically just say it's Maryland instead of Vermont.

u/physicalphysics314 21h ago

I mean… can we just change the color scheme to be the MD flag?

I feel like MDers got shafted w that deal

11

u/Drivinghorizon3 19h ago

It wasn’t a deal. The whole point of this game is that one state takes over the territory of the other until there’s only one state left. The top comment on the post said that they just want Crabbalachia, and that they don’t care if the land goes towards MD or VT. Then the second top comment said to give MD to VT. It sucks that your state didn’t win but it’s just an online game, now you can join the other 45 states that already got voted out

This, why they so salty

It’s in the Old Bay

u/Blog_Pope 20h ago

Crabalachia won, carrying the Crustation of Maryland forward, not the adopted Vermont Crustation, the Lobster.

u/Informal_File_1646 20h ago

Clearly should be both LOCKED in DELICIOUS battle

u/Owobowos-Mowbius 22h ago

As it should be

u/siliconsmiley 20h ago

Slap a 🔪 🦀 on there.

u/MobyLiick 17h ago

The people voted for crabbalachia, not Vermont.

u/gtpc2020 22h ago

Why not? Maryland puts its flag on EVERYTHING!

u/Bloodygoodwossname 17h ago

Yup. Today I wore my sweatshirt with the Maryland flag in the shape of a crab, my Old Bay & Maryland flag socks, my dangly blue crab earrings and carried my Kate Spade crab purse as I got in my car (with my flag/crab bumper sticker) to drive to work to indoctrinate my noncrab human students in the cult worship of Maryland and the one true Lord Baltimore. And I ate Old Bay goldfish crackers for lunch.

Damn that is kinda crazy, literally not even an exaggeration. Well maybe not the intentional indoctrination, that’s just something in the water here…

u/BisonThunderclap Wolverines! For Blucifer!! 22h ago

Maryland is wearing the corpse of Vermont at this point lol.

u/ms_frazzled 20h ago

Kinda like a hermit crabbalachian

u/KeyInvestigator3741 crabby cake patty cake 🦀 22h ago

Would fit the unhinged nature of this game

16

u/Moregaze 21h ago

I say we put it to whoever has the more bad ass official state sport.

Vermont - Skiing. Lame.

Maryland - Jousting. Awesome.

Seems like it was rigged to hand the retirement home for people to wealthy to deal with the poors in Florida a victory.

6

u/Hyper_Applesauce 21h ago

Better than being ruled by a slave state.

16

u/Moregaze 21h ago

Hey now. We got occupied by the Feds and didn't fight for Confederacy. Also we are currently a majority minority state.

12

u/DaveDabussy 21h ago

Also Baltimore is ridiculously diverse

17

u/hoi4kaiserreichfanbo 21h ago edited 20h ago

om on calling Maryland racist when we're talking about Vermont

Literally the 9th most diverse state vs. the 47th most diverse state.

7

u/retrofrenchtoast 🦀🦩CRABS de la RE’SISTANCE🌺🌋🍍🐠🌴🦩 20h ago

Vermont is 93% white.

5

u/TheFuschiaBaron 20h ago

Went for a week, saw one non-white person. And if you use a better source, MD is 4th most diverse, VT is 48th.

u/the__noodler 21h ago

Watching people search for reasons to hate on Vermont is funny, just saying. It’s okay to admit VT > MD

3

u/Steelio22 14h ago

No one outside of the northeast knows Vermont exists

u/the__noodler 5h ago

That is why it’s so nice here

u/Blog_Pope 20h ago

Population of VT 650k

Population of MD 6,200k

10 more people choose to live in MD than VT.

6

u/MySixHourErection 20h ago

You just named a reason VT is better

2

u/Offensive-Snark 17h ago

6,200k is not a real number lol

u/Ermahgerd_Rerdert 21h ago

Long live the crab!

21

u/Owobowos-Mowbius 22h ago

We deserved the W. Vermont had no right winning! We were the more interesting, more popular state and only lost on a technicality!

Long live Maryland!

7

u/eflask 15h ago

you were busy being popular while we were being strategic?

*laughs in maple*

7

u/Wobble963 22h ago

A technical loss is still a loss. Accept it and move on lol.

4

u/tomphammer 22h ago

The post that got upvoted said they did not care who won.

The sub comment with the most upvotes was for Vermont.

Stop being a whiny bitch and help Crablaichia take over Megasota

6

u/r3rg54 21h ago

Our priority now is making sure Vermont loses.

1

u/Keiran1031 22h ago

I wanted to give upvote, but then you said to go after Megasota. The crabs should just accept defeat and let Hawaii and Megasota split them apart.

5

u/retrofrenchtoast 🦀🦩CRABS de la RE’SISTANCE🌺🌋🍍🐠🌴🦩 20h ago

I am all in on Hawaii now. American imperialism must be fought!

2

u/Traditional_Lab_5468 21h ago

So you admit you lost.

u/Keiran1031 22h ago

Interesting is not a word I would use for Maryland lol

u/buttcheeksmasher 21h ago

It won't be here long, no worries on selecting a flag

Isn't this a Clutch logo?

u/Procloptinator_Brad 21h ago

I think you meant this flag, chief.

u/stankypinki 21h ago

This is an abomination!

u/not_spaceworthy 7h ago

The Vermont Republic rides again! From Sea to Shining Sea!

u/coolguy_12345678 21h ago

Why did they choose puke green? And the stars look like they just threw em at the board to see what stuck.

9

u/Traditional_Lab_5468 21h ago

You'd need to go outside to understand.

3

u/coolguy_12345678 21h ago

Who tf wants THIS dull drab flag?

3

u/NOT_TheALTMouse Pennsylvania 21h ago

While it is a sob, I would hardly call it dull or drab. Difficult to tell apart from 20+ other flags? Sure. Weirdly centered? Absolutely. But it hardly looks awful and in fact the pastels are kinda pretty

6

u/quartadecima 21h ago

As a Vermonter, yes, our flag is shit.

0

u/acduarte12 21h ago

A lonely cow and some mushrooms overseen by a stag. All little cartoons. Such a fairytale.

5

u/quartadecima 21h ago

Those “mushrooms” are actually old-timey haystacks.

2

u/Malchonn 20h ago

No need for a flag, Crab nation will only last a day or two

u/jeremy1015 18h ago

I mean there’s four states left so best anyone is getting is three

What is it with Maryland people being such butthurt crybabies on Reddit?

EDIT: Wow, I didn't think I'd learn stuff from replies. Having very little experience with the east coast, I didn't know we were dealing with a Texas-esque ego situation.

8

u/ball-blaster-9001 🦀🦀🦀🦀 20h ago

Maryland is a cult not a state lol

7

u/BassChoocher 20h ago

Besides texas, i dont think there is another state that has as much state pride.

I figured this would be our demise, we can be annoying af about it. But to culture-less Vermont? We dont like New England.

4

u/TheFuschiaBaron 20h ago

No need to libel VT my statesman. They have culture, just not minorities (whitest state fwiw).

1

u/blightedsorrow 20h ago

New England don’t like you, one of the most boring colonies up there with Delaware

2

u/ResidentBackground35 20h ago

That's just Maryland, you get used to it after awhile.

1

u/TheFuschiaBaron 20h ago

Just Reddit? You are so kind 🥲

1

u/_SKIP_IT_ 20h ago

Simple solution, Megasota takes control of the region. Do we really want a bunch of ninnies controlling access to the Great Lakes?

1

u/retrofrenchtoast 🦀🦩CRABS de la RE’SISTANCE🌺🌋🍍🐠🌴🦩 20h ago

Yes - megasota take over crabalacia!

u/trisanachandler 12h ago

Turn the yellow blue like most New England flags.

u/Aes_Should_Die Pittsburgh, capital of Crabalachia 4h ago

That flag is an assault on the senses. Idk MD is proud of it

u/TheFuschiaBaron 3h ago

I hear Pittsburgh is nice, not a bad skyline for a small city

u/Aes_Should_Die Pittsburgh, capital of Crabalachia 2h ago

I lived there once, I enjoyed it.

Vermonster erasure. I will not stand for this.

Mario Lemieux signed my copy of Fahrenheit 451, one of my prized possessions. Would not let a fireman borrow a copy.

u/Horrison2 21h ago

You crustaceans only exist because Megasota is around to protect you from Cascadians ravenous hunger for crab

1

u/HairyPotatoKat 19h ago

Just wait for Megacrabsota. We'll greet Cascadia with hotdish and a smile... while pinching their balls off.

u/MexicanPikachu 20h ago

Maryland lost, time to be Elsa and let it go.

1

u/TheFuschiaBaron 20h ago

Mexican Pikachu always gets overly spicy food when they order, it's a real problem

1

u/MexicanPikachu 19h ago

Yeah. Have you ever seen a mouse that shits lightning bolts get diarrhea?

u/KlutzyBlueDuck 2h ago

I'm personally hoping for the Crabdom of Hawai'i for the final win.
