Next weekend the big days arrive - easter-holidays are coming up! And to make sure you're going outside, FLAGSTACK will come up with a fantastic Easter Special.
In the course of the upcoming week, you will find an Easter lamb in your inventory. Using the app, you can deploy this Easter lamb from Good Friday (14.April 2017, 00:01, timezone Europe/ Berlin). Our system automatically hides 40 sweet, small Easter lambs on the map within a radius of 1 km around your current deploy location - and you have to try to find them! They will become visible on the map when you are close enough to the Easter Specials - about 200 meters! By the way, you will find them close to roads and footpaths. And only you can see your Easter lambs. You get 40 points for each collected Easter lamb, for at least 17 collected Easter lambs, you will receive a beautiful Easter badge.
Because so many players were enthusiastic last year, the golden Easter Bunny is available for you in our webshop again! This Bunny hides automatically 10 golden Easter eggs within 1km around your current deploy location. These Easter eggs are only visible on the map when you get close to them (about 200m)! In contrast to the Easter lambs, other players can also find and capture 
your golden Easter bunny and the golden Easter eggs. For this you get additional 4-10 Capture On points, and for the Easter bunny or the golden Easter eggs you get 6-40 capture points. https://www.flagstack.net/shop
Please make sure to have a good GPS signal before the deployment. A review, of whether the road is in a secure area or how good the mobile reception is, cannot be done. It will happen in some cases, that Easter Specials are unreachable. Therefore, there is no legal claim to be able to collect all the Easter Specials. So you will receive more than twice as many specials as for the preservation of the badges are necessary. The promotion of all Easter specials ends on Sunday after Easter (23.April 2017, 23:59:59, timezone Europe/ Berlin).
Of course there are also great offers* with discounts of up to 40% in our webshop https://www.flagstack.net/shop for you at Easter (from Good Friday to Easter Monday). They will change from daily, and the very special offers will only be available by the hour - so you also have to search for them...
And now - go outside, spring is here! We wish you lots of fun and happy Easter!
Capture the flag...

Cyber criminals have discovered a vulnerability in the Data Matrix code structure. By targeted manipulation, it could have the effect at FLAGSTACK that the points can be deducted! Therefore our urgent warning: Please do not scan Data Matrix codes until we give the all-clear.
Here is an example of how the fake codes can look like:
Thank you for your understanding.

Team Battle 16 is over
Well, we missed the target for the international Top 12 (do you remember the news from the last Team Battle?). The team "GCHN" from the High North probably seemed to be Spanish - at least it looked like different national flags. The Australian team "Fun with Flags" has made it into the Top 12 with a narrow lead - we can rely on you :-) - and rings in the further distributed world-wide team positions.
And now hand on your heart - you surely thought "I'm not looking right"? At the top of the rankings you have to rub your eyes... Not only the Bielefeld Flaggers have expanded as a runner-up a good lead to the rank 3. If you look at the first place, you will realize that we are dealing with real FLAGSTACK professionals here.
First: the record from Team Battle #12 was finally set!
Second: the incredible mark of 100,000 team credits was broken - please tell us, all the 5 guys of team 4 question marks, are you doing anything else than playing FLAGSTACK? You have done an incredible performance, with words hardly to describe. So we are curious how long it will take to reach this record.
And now back to the total rankings and the facts of Team Battle #16:
All in all, we have given away a lot of great prizes worth hundreds of Euros! 73 teams have achieved great results and the diligence is rewarded:
1. Die 4 Fragezeichen (DE) – Credits: 104,560 – The Alliance - each player has won a 30,- € webshop voucher + Team-Badge
2. Bielefelder Flaggers (DE) – Credits: 71,183 – The Alliance - each player has won a 20,- € webshop voucher + Team-Badge
3. RedFlagStars (DE) – Credits: 40,011 – The Alliance - each player has won a 10,- € webshop voucher + Team-Badge
This is the faction ranking of Team Battle #16. We are delighted with all players about the great overall performance:
1. The Alliance of Flag Keeper - Teams: 27 - Credits: 468,650 - Average: 17,357 - each player has won 75 Party Flags + faction badge
2. The Syndicate of Flag Hunter - Teams: 23 - Credits: 186,698 - Average: 8,117 - each player has won 50 Party Flags + faction badge
3. The Cartel of Flag Seeker - Teams: 23 - Credits: 112,712 - Average: 4,901 - each player has won 25 Party Flags + faction badge
In Team Battle #16, there was the first time the rewards for the new bonus system! And this is what you’ve got:
2,500 Credits = 25 Green Flags
5,000 Credits = 1 White Flag on top
10,000 Credits = 1 Personal Happy Hour on top
20,000 Credits = 1 Oracle Flag on top
40,000 Credits = 1 Eternal Flag on top
So if you earned over 40,000 credits with your team, there were 29 awesome Flags for you as a bonus! The profit vouchers for places 1 to 3 as well as the faction rates remained unchanged.
Also in the next Team Battle #17 there are again lots of flags for free - your activity counts! Tell all your friends about it and start a new team - or even two - because after a short recovery time, the next Team Battle is in sight - on 05.April 2017 at 0:00 (Timezone Europe / Berlin), TB #17 will start!

You and all FLAGSTACK enthusiasts have brought the next major milestone close at hand by the tireless collection of flags (especially at the night trail in Gifhorn, DE). And today, on 25.February 2017, it finally happened: coolman1357 (AU) could make the 7 millionth capture! As usual we wanted to have this flag perpetuated on the map with the special icon, but this time it does not work - it's a Friend Flag of Survey-adjo (NL)! Therefore, for this anniversary, there is a very special new Friend Flag for everyone - including the special badge and 700 capture points...
Alex (drlion), Liam (DrSiggi) and the lucky winner Lukas (Coolman1357)
For the statisticians among the Flagstackers: only 73 days have passed after the 6 millionth capture - the intervals are getting smaller, the fun with FLAGSTACK becomes bigger and bigger!
And we want to celebrate together again - with a great offer in the webshop: using the coupon code Coolman1357 you get 25% discount for a period of 70 hours *. This offer will run until 28.February 2017, 20:00 (Timezone Europe / Berlin).
Do not miss this offer at https://www.flagstack.net/shop ...

... und mit dem neuen Night Trail erst recht!
Mitte Februar, an einem grauen Samstag, es war in der Mittagszeit. Eilig erledigen Menschen in der Gifhorner Innenstadt das, was erledigt werden muss. Dazwischen fallen ein paar Leute auf – sie sind entspannt, lachen, haben sich warm angezogen als hätten sie noch einiges vor... Natürlich haben sie das! Es sind Flagstack-Spieler, die der Einladung von degeisi gefolgt sind um den neusten Night Trail einzuweihen.
Das Basislager des Tages war die Brasserie „Paula’s“. Von hier startete bereits mittags ein fast 3-stündiger Stadtrundgang, bei dem jede Menge Flaggen ausgelegt und eingesammelt wurden. Ganz nebenbei konnte degeisi die eine oder andere Geschichte über die Heimatstadt zum besten geben. Selbst die lokale Presse der „Gifhorner WAZ“ ist tapfer mit marschiert und war begeistert vom Spiel und dem Spaß der Flagstacker!
Nach einer Aufwärm-Pause im „Paula’s“ war es dann endlich soweit: die Sonne ging unter und die Night Flags leuchteten auf der Karte! Alle waren perfekt für die folgenden Stunden vorbereitet: mit festem Schuhwerk, Taschenlampen und genügend Akkuladung ging es los in die Nacht... Dank der vielen, vielen Night Flags war ein perfekter Spaziergang durch die Stadt und rund um den Schloss- und Mühlensee vorbereitet. Auf gut befestigten Wegen ging es am Mühlenmuseum und Schloss vorbei, an der Ise im Gänsemarsch entlang, auf Wald- und Wiesenflächen durch die Natur – und überall war bester Handy- und GPS-Empfang. An besonders schönen Aussichtspunkten mit Blick auf das abendlich beleuchtete Gifhorn und das Schloss hat degeisi Verschnaufpausen inkl. Zaubertrank eingelegt.
Dieses Abenteuer sollte sich keiner entgehen lassen, der zufällig oder geplant in die Region kommt. Eine abwechslungsreiche Runde, die (abhängig von der Uhrzeit) auch familientauglich ist, lockt mit über 100 Night Flags und wohlverdienten 1.000 Badge-Punkten!

You had a good start in 2017? The result of the Team Battle #14 of January is impressive in any case, and you have made an enormous contribution to it..!
Definitely, the top ranks have done right - the team GCHN was able to take the second place with a clear lead of "only" three hard-working members.
