Conquest of the Americas Diplomacy Variant [BACK IN ACTION!]

[Bacon King]

Question for you all. Should 28-29 and 92-93 be considered to have a land connection? Variant rules say nothing; I'm leaning towards yes, but I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts.

[minionofmidas]

If the rules say nothing then presumably not.

[Associate Justice PiT]

If the rules say nothing then presumably not.

      I agree. As I recall, the standard rules specifically name Constantinople as a land connection, which is why it is counted as one whereas Spain-North Africa is not (on a tangent, Richard Sharp once suggested that allowing movement between Spain & North Africa would make Italy stronger; maybe someone should organize a game with that feature along with the Milan variant).

[Хahar 🤔]

6 is ours!

[Bacon King]

Fair enough, guys.

ORDERS DUE (sent via PM, of course) IN JUST OVER 11 hours!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I just realized that the Constantinople point made no sense, but okay.

Note that the map does not depict Netherlands' move due to circumstances specified below.

[Bacon King]

Just a note, please remember from now on to go ahead and give numbered provinces a name if you plan on moving to them. It's much easier for me so I can go ahead and make a new map

Also, sewersocialist, you still there man?

Orders for Fall 1501 due on saturday. Hesitant to say that because that's mardi gras weekend, but I'm fairly certain I can spare a few minutes to update

[Bacon King]

Sewer Socialist PM'd orders in just now. As this is the first turn, and there are a few diplomacy newbies in this game, I'm offering leniency here. starting next turn, ALL DEADLINES ARE FINAL. ALL ORDERS MUST BE EXPLICIT. PM any questions you have, that is all.

(noon eastern time on Saturday is Fall 1501 deadline)

I apologize if my French is grammatically incorrect, though I don't believe any of the French posters are in this, so I may be off the hook

     I'm not French, but I do speak it somewhat. I assume you meant "first sea" (since "number one sea" is a grammatical oddity in English as well as French), in which case it should be La Mer Première. Grammatical errors aren't a problem, but if you want desired place names translated into French, feel free to ask me.

Close enough. I'm proud it actually made some sense

¡Qué! ¿Tú no hablas español? Pero es muy facíl y tú vives en California. ¡Ay Caramba!

     Same way I get by not knowing Chinese, which would be much more useful to know where I live.

[Dancing with Myself]

The empire of Portugal announces it's intent to move to the body of water called "4", if any country tries to interfere shall be rocked like a hurricane.

[Хahar 🤔]

¿español o chino?

Español. No comprendo chino.

[minionofmidas]

I've no clue if my place name is grammatically correct either, and I've no intention to find out. Denmark is a small country, and many of our colonists have been recruited from elsewhere around Europe. Hence, the lingua franca of the Danish Americas is Pidgin Danish.

然後你會不知道這是什麼意思

Not that I speak Chinese or anything, Google translator FTW!

看他們怎麼跑豬一樣，從槍
看他們如何飛行
我哭
