In the days and weeks before Christmas something special always happens. For example, what would be the contemplative Advent season without an Advent calendar and without the anticipation of daily surprise?
Today we introduce you to the FLAGSTACK Advent Calendar 2017...
From now on you can purchase the "Advent Calendar" and the "Advent Calendar PLUS" in our webshop. From 1. to 24.December 2017 (Christmas Eve) a little surprise awaits you every day. You can deploy these Advent calendars from 1.December 2017, 00:00 (time zone Europe / Berlin) with the app on the map. At this moment, 24 Advent doors are placed within a radius of 1km around your current location on the map. These 24 Advent doors can only be seen and capped for you! The campaign with the Advent Specials ends on 31. December 2017 at 23:59 (time zone Europe/Berlin).
What do you get? Your personal FLAGSTACK Advent Calendar contains a colorful mix of flags and lots of surprises and costs you only 19,- €uro (with a total value of more than 55,- €uro)! The FLAGSTACK Advent Calendar PLUS costs you only 29,- €uros (with a total value of 69,- €uros) and even offers you the exclusive receipt of a brand new flag type, which is expected to be available for all other players in the 1st quarter of 2018! Save more than 55% compared to the individual prices in the webshop https://www.flagstack.net/shop! Once you have opened all the Advent doors, you will receive an exclusive Advent calendar badge on top!
Your Advent calendar is very simple. You can open the right Advent door every day. You cannot open an Advent door before the appropriate date, but of course you can open all Advent doors retroactively. For example, if you are going on holiday just before Christmas, you can deploy the Advent doors at your holiday resort and open all the past Advent doors there. Or, if you are back home before New Year's Eve, pick up the remaining Advent doors in your home town, which you couldn't reach during your absence. We are sure that with these tips you will be able to choose the right location for your deployment...
Since it is not possible to check whether Advent doors lie in a secure area or how good the mobile phone reception is, it can happen in individual cases that Advent doors are not reachable. Therefore, there is no legal claim to be able to collect all Advent doors. Therefore, you have the possibility to send an e-mail to support@flagstack.net until 15.December 2017, 23:59 (time zone Europe/Berlin) in which you list the unreachable Advent doors according to their unique ID number. These Advent doors are moved to random but accessible coordinates. The Advent calendar is excluded from any voucher campaigns.
The Advent calendars will be available until 15.December 2017, 23:59 (time zone Europe / Berlin). Go quickly to the webshop https://www.flagstack.net/shop and ensure your personal Advent experience of the very special kind...
We wish you an exciting time with the FLAGSTACK Advent calendar!

We have a QUESTION: would it be SPECIAL, if at the end of the Team Battles you can hear an EXCLAMATION of joy of FLAGSTACK players? That's normal, isn't it? This month it's a little bit different, because in exactly this order 3 friendly teams played their way to the top: Die 4 Fragezeichen (question marks), Die 4 Sonderzeichen (special characters) and Die 4 Ausrufezeichen (exclamation marks) (all DE) rock the podium! That looks funny with the "twinned" team avatars. And it looks really cool at the end of the Top 10 - many, many colourful flags... We're keeping our fingers crossed that you'll be mixing up the ranking again in the next Team Battle!
At the moment is a short pause for the Team Battle. You didn’t participate in Team Battle? Keep your eyes and ears open from 01.-04.November 2017 (time zone Europe / Berlin) for existing or new teams, that might need your assistance! As you can see in the ranking, some are capable to splendid performances - what about you? In the next Team Battle #24 there are lots of flags for free again - only your commitment counts!
You have worked flat out and gave everything during the last Team Battle? Redeem your earned credits quickly and have fun with your new flags! Click here to go directly to the creditshop:: https://www.flagstack.net/creditShop. On the team page https://www.flagstack.net/teams you find the link to the shop below the overview map.
Here are the information about the overall ranking and the facts of Team Battle #23 for our statistical fans. All in all, we gave away lots of great prizes worth many thousands of €uros! All 88 teams have achieved great results and hard work is rewarded:

5,000 Credits = 1 White Flag on top
10,000 Credits = 1 Second Chance Option on top

There's something going on in the hours before Halloween! As soon as the news about the gigantic 12 million captures were published, within the next 48 hours by you record hunters the next peak performance was achieved:
Congratulations, dear Flagstackers - you made it together! More than 2 million FLAGSTACK flags are now waving all over the world! And? Who did it? DrZagy (HR) pushed the almost magical field at the right moment and deployed the new attraction in his homeland Croatia - the 2 millionth flag! You want to get the obligatory badge? Here's your destination
DrZagy receives the reward that the brilliant badge is right on the doorstep... As a reward for your overall performance we come up with this little surprise: Collect a total of at least 31 flags on Halloween (31 October 2017,00:00 - 23:59, timezone Europe / Berlin) and receive the "finally there are 2 million flags badge"! You'll see: you'll be perfecting the Halloween 2017 triple in your success overview! Besides, it is still bubbling in our witch's kitchen and maybe we make a big deal... Watch the map on Halloween and you will see what we mean...
The streaks were somewhat bewitched by the change of time in Germany.... But meanwhile we have successfully banished the evil witch and everything is fine again. Thanks for your patience.
Any good news at the end? Keep it coming... To honor the 2 millionth flag, we celebrate the next double-capture-points-weekend! From Friday 03. November 2017, 00:00, until Sunday 05. November 2017, 23:59 (timezone Europe / Berlin) the flags are bewitched and you get double capture points (special flags are excluded)! Grab your smartphone and your best buddy, get on the broomstick and get double points...!
Happy Halloween!

FLAGSTACK also chases you out of the door with this year's Halloween special offer:
During the upcoming weekend you will find a broom in your inventory. You can 
deploy this broom from Monday (23 October 2017, 00:00, time zone Europe/Berlin). This places a total of 35 witches within a radius of 1km around your current location on the map. These 35 witches are visible to all players and can be capped by all players! You have to collect at least 31 witches to get the Halloween Badge 2017 - be curious to see if there's anything trick-or-treating! The spook ends on 31 October 2017 at midnight (23:59, time zone Europe/Berlin) - and then all witches fly back home.
And here's the ultimate insider tip: Create an event in the aforementioned period and meet with as many Flagstackers as possible to collect each other's witches! If you manage to be at least 8 event race participants on site at your event, there may still be ghosts and creatures around you that you can hunt! Just try it out - or you'll never know... https://www.flagstack.net/events
You still can't get enough of chasing witches? Then there's a really sweet offer for you:
During the upcoming weekend you will find golden brooms* in our webshop! You can lay out and hunt these golden brooms from Monday midnight (23 October 2017, 00:00, time zone Europe/Berlin) until Sunday after Halloween (05 November 2017, 23:59, time zone Europe/Berlin). A total of 10 golden witches will be placed within a radius of 1km around your current location on the map. These golden witches will not be visible on the map until you get close (approx. 200m)! Other players can also find and collect the hidden golden witches. For this you get 
additional 4-10 capture on points - and for collecting the golden witches you get 6-40 capture points. As an extra reward, a second Halloween badge is waiting for you! But be alert - only 1,000 exclusive gold brooms are available. Fast access is worth it, because these golden brooms are only available until Halloween (31 October 2017, 23:59, time zone Europe/Berlin), or while stocks last, in the webshop. This spook ends on 5 November 2017, 23:59, time zone Europe/Berlin) - then all golden witches fly back home. https://www.flagstack.net/shop
So the next few days you will be able to sweep away a lot of witches from the streets - we hope you have a scary time and Happy Halloween!
Your FLAGSTACK team
PS: What else is important? You probably know this one from other special offers, but we would like to mention it briefly...
Please make sure you have a good GPS signal before deploying the brooms. Since it is not possible to check whether the street is in a secure area or how good the mobile phone reception is, it can happen in individual cases that these Halloween specials are not available. Therefore, there is no legal right to collect all Halloween specials.
*A combination with any discounts, vouchers and rebates is not possible, except gift vouchers. The discount is not payable in cash. Only available for orders in connection with PayPal via the website. An order with vouchers and/or discounts via apps is currently not possible.

A little tall stand. Asp_fan_cb and his wife have organized a top class event for the flagstackers from near and far (quasi their volunteer debut). And of course Urbi and palk didn't get around to stick their noses in again and "rediscover" the flagstack, which has been played very badly lately.
We met with the arrivals in the dark night at the Bunkermuseum in Kolkwitz and then it started, the wild flag hunt. What the event should be about, the organizer has logged here:
The Flagstack Nightflag Event in the Lausitz (with background information). And what are these nightflags?
So it happened that we (with the blessing of the women) were able to visit a local brewery during the day and after the delicious dinner we started into the night and accompanied the whole gang.
And as it turns out, we also met a Resources player at the powerful Nightflag collect (here a link to the blogged route planning).
Finally Heiko Erik and Rabea, the two heads of Flagstack, answered our questions and brought us up to date on the development of the game.
But just listen to it yourself. :)

Your new challenge at FLAGSTACK: become a FTC Hunter!
The time has come - the next extension is ready! Get off the couch and out of the car – go out into nature and become a FTC Hunter!
FTC Hunter? You are a "First To Capture Hunter", if you are looking for those specific flags to be the first player who captures them - and this is exactly what will become your special experience!
Take the new challenge and find those flags with 0 captures and an age of at least 90 days! These flags are represented on the map with the special icon - the flag with three stars. From that moment they will get you triple capture and capture-on points AND with that special icon they can be captured multiple times within 60 seconds by different players (groups / families). After the FTC they are shown as original flags again.
Everyone loves win-win situations! For the owner is worth the diligence designing a beautiful route and to wait for the moment of the FTC. For you it is worth taking the way to these flags - with triple points and discovering new areas!
Make an appointment with your FLAGSTACK friends quickly and share the opportunity of triple capture points for Green / White / Oracle / Treasure and Premium Flags that have not yet been captured after 90 days!
At an event? Click here: https://www.flagstack.net/events
On WhatsApp? https://chat.whatsapp.com/Az2bXw8wbtb4e2MCircz8D
On Facebook? Search for FLAGSTACK and you will find the right group for you, because there are some on offer!
And one thing is clear, of course there are great new badges in different success levels for the FTC Hunter! The first level is visible to you here https://www.flagstack.net/achievements and you can perfectly track your progress to success.
Do not give up, even if the FTC flag can only be reached by detours! Enjoy the nature walk and you'll be rewarded with triple points!
And now it’s time go - check the map https://www.flagstack.net/map and then get out, FTC Hunter...
Enjoy a flag-packed weekend! Greetings from
Team FLAGSTACK
