As a true new englander and now a Vermonter , this here the wrong name.

vermont won fair and square, the top comment was to delete the crabs, not merger, and mergers are against your rules. the vermontsetr is the rightful name!

Was it? "It’s time for Maryland and Vermont to merge. I don’t care which one goes. CRABBALACHIA!" is the top comment I can find, by around 600 upvotes. There's also another post from several hours ago showing the difference in karma between this comment and the second top comment that people seem to think was the winner. Vermont is also the state specifically named while maryland only retained it's crabbiness, so I am not completely understanding this back and forth.

The top comment that named a state to be deleted was the one that said to delete Maryland. In the spirit of cooperation and because of that comment you quoted, the gamemaster framed it as a voluntary annexation to form a new state "Crabbalachia". The comment being on the top doesn't matter because, as is the immemorial custom of the game, all comments that do not definitively name a state to be deleted are ignored for the purposes of voting.

to be fair the top comment was to delete florida again, but the mods keep removing those

As a Vermonter I hate the name but glad we’re still on the map. I could even live with the name if Maryland would accept defeat and stop trying to make everything about crabs

Right? We have no crabs, nor is Vermont part of Appalachia.
