Merger proposal

Notwithstanding the previous merge proposal, I propose that Steal the Flingsock be merged with Steal the Bacon as they appear to refer to the same thing, or minor variants thereof which would be better consolidated into a single article. -- Walnuts go kapow ( talk) 10:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC) reply

happy to have it merged

Happy to have "...flingsock" and "...handkerchief" merged into "steal the bacon". Steal the Bacon ought to be the canonical title, as "Steal the flingsock/handkerchief" doesn't enjoy the depth of citations that "steal the bacon" does. -- Vonfraginoff ( talk) 19:09, 12 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Renewing the proposal by User:Interlaker above. Steal the bacon shares the same principles as capture the flag and it could easily be merged into the " Variants" section like stealing sticks. What say ye? —  AjaxSmack  19:50, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Steal the bacon is different in that it involves calling individuals in pairs, whereas capture the flag is more of a team-based as multiple players are active at once. 96.241.166.13 ( talk) 00:37, 11 October 2022 (UTC) reply
