In most RPs, there's a flag that causes the game to crash if you click on it.

Why's it there, anyway?

Lol, just some map maker's lil joke, it is simply a flag for certain players(can't remember which, try over player 21...) the reason it crashes is that each flag portrait has it's own color, and since the player the flag is owned by doesn't have a flag picture, the game crashes. Just don't select those, annoying as it may be.

Any flag placed for player 17 and above do NOT have GUI in the GRP for the flag, (notice how it is your color when its yours and blue when its player 2's?) therefor crashing starcraft.

I see, but why would a map designer put it there?

retarded.whale: hey n00b, click that flag over there!
n00b: okay! *click*
n00b has left the game.
retarded.whale: roflpwnt xD ! What a n00b..

There you have it.

What I find funny though, is the map called 'Don't Click the Flag!', sometimes doesn't work like it should for some players.

Flags are screwy when you tweak them around. 90% of the time a flag for a certain player will crash when clicked. Although, 10% of the time, you can click it and be just fine.

WRONG!

WRONG!


Most roleplays were created before patch 1.14 and many used the the black player color. Unfortunately after 1.14 the player colors changed, so now the player is no longer black and the flags which were formerly safe to click are now dangerous.

I never did figure out why. It's not only mac users or only PC users, some of each crash and some of each don't.

No, I'd say it's more like:
