I was traveling in Mexico with little to no internet access for the better part of November.

I get that mapmakers disappear sometimes and there is a desire to keep things moving, but does it really need to be exactly 30 days? Especially when the mapmaker has commented in between updates? There ...

Hey, not so fast. I just commented on the 21st of October - it hasn't been that long - give me a break.

The only edit I have received has been a fix in the legend. If that's all that needs to happen to move this along, then I'll go do it, but I've been waiting for other changes and suggestions.

Its been a long, grueling campaign season and I'd like to thank everyone for sticking with it and being patient as I worked through a larger-than-anticipated group of candidates. It was a close, well-fought race to candidacy and without further ado, I present...

Week 4 Halftime Report

San Francisco - in desperate need of their 1st win, may have found their scoring edge and hold a slim 3 point lead over Puget Sound.
The other winless team - England - can't seem to catch a break. Their previous 3 opponents scored 50, 46, and 45 points each, while the ...

Welcome elonpuckhog to the Puget Sound roster and to the league - thanks for filling in.

Kudos to NYC for breaking a single quarter record - the closest another team has come is 8-10 in a quarter.

And back we go to the main foundry. But one thing though, who is doing the xml now that Sully has done another Houdini act?

Thanks. Others have offered assistance if Sully no longer desires to do the XML for this project.

Ah, right... will fix

Looks like the final version still had "reservoirs" spelled incorrectly. Oops! Any chance this can still be updated? Nothing else about the map changed - just corrected the typo.

Version 9
Per ian canton's suggestion, I've set the cell bonus to +1 per 10 cells over 30 (legend says sea cells, will change that with next update)
I changed the grids to 0-9
I've also clarified some things in the legend (no region bonus, ship cells cannot assault each other)

Wow - 30 maps? That's quite the accomplishment. Kudos!

Hooray! That was a long time coming. :)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this map - all the support and the criticism - and especially those that took the time to help me develop the awkward, clunky map I started with into what it is now.

Yes, that's very nice to hear. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks Ian for the explanation.

Anything else I can do to wrap this up and get it finalized?

4th Round of Debates begin!
Republican Primary:
Espousing plans for a hefty Space Defense budget, offinthecorner matched scottp and his promise to uphold the 1st amendment - gaining 6 delegates each. Offinthecorner holds a +3 point lead over morleyjoe , who's rally against Terrorism only netted ...

Will update soon.

Sorry, work has me swamped at the moment and then I'm off camping all next week, so I'll try to get an update first week of October.

Final hoop will begin play shortly. If you would like to change your map and settings from last round, please PM or post in the tournament thread.
