Golfe du St-Laurent: Tisha Wins!

Then I guess there is an expression in the Finnish language that fits you perfectly Victor... people who nitpick on lots of small things are said to be "comma fuckers" (roughly translated) - as in people who are unhealthily interested in punctuation marks.

I always thought this was just some kind of weird linguistic analogy but maybe not... well, I guess what you do in your bedroom is your own business... just don't let your wife catch you with a dictionary!

That's kinda how the divorce came about, though it was with a Calculus textbook...

For the game play to be as it was, Saint James needs to have it's border with Halifax chopped off.

You meant St John? The latest version in the old map thread has St John bordering Halifax:

So you are saying that Halifax only connects with Moncton?

[Unit_2]

I see that now, What I mean is that the game play is meant for Saint John to be only connected to Moncton and Fredericton. If all three are connected then the bonus needs to be increased. Get what I'm saying here?

The maps and XML posted on page 49 of the old topic show Halifax connected to Moncton and Saint John (and Cape Breton, P.E.I, and Evangeline Trail). It would probably be best to leave things as they are until this contest completes. With the new images, the thread presumably would return to the Final Forge, and the question of the connections and bonuses in that area could be hammered out.

[Unit_2]

Yeah they are, but the bonus is +2 with three borders. It was meant for +2 for 2 borders.

To clarify, some maps will not be allowed to the voting stage? I assume this is correct? Also how long will the vote last? A week or 2?

I assume it just means that if they get a shitload of entries, they will crop out the worst ones.

That's what we've done in the past.

Ah crap, I did not notice some of the names were spelled wrong... I'd say just write them as is and once a winner has been determined we'll make the necessary tweaks in the FF.

How can I submit mine when finished? Should I post it here or PM it to yourself or something else?

Read a little further in the first post, and you will see that
