I'm more amused by what's going on out west. Cascadia's biggest presence is in Arizona, lol. Also if he can block off Bgwah he'll be able to have total control all the way to Western Missouri.

[Gass3268]

Who are we waiting for?

[Gass3268]

Its been more than 24 hours...... next turn?

I'd be willing to accept that as a new rule

[Gass3268]

I would rather leave the spaces open, I enjoy the process of consolidating my territory when the time is right, which will be soon.

Dickenson & Letcher counties are not contiguous. Try again.

They are on my map

[Gass3268]

I'll wait for official clarification before changing my claim 

[Gass3268]

That looks close enough... damn it! Just a sec

Sorry I have less turns then you and I decided to change my claim to this:

The Imperial Empire decides to defend its Northern border:

Duchess County (297,488)
Sullivan County (77,547)
Ulster County (182,493)

We have no rule against changing claims in the middle of a turn, so I am in the clear. You still have 5 county claims.

[Gass3268]

How can we make a new rule ex post facto? I wouldn't be opposed to having that be a rule in future rounds, but I did nothing wrong. Also it was Ampere that violated our agreement that we had.

[Gass3268]

I also don't see why you had to go against our agreement.

[Gass3268]

Yeah, give me the three back in Georgia.

Nix: I will give you all of the counties that I have in Georgia and South Carolina for the counties you just took in New York and New Jersey. Deal?

[Gass3268]

It was Barrow, DeKalb and Gwinnett.

While I get:

Dutchess, NY - 297,000
Putnam, NY - 100,000
Orange, NY - 373,000
Rockland, NY - 312,00
Bergen, NJ - 905,000
