MST and HST look identical in that font. Why are we not allowing that move? It's not ambiguous, and the lettering could be read as either one.

| DC209 F08 STRANGE DAYS AHEAD (dc209) vegas_iwish Feb 09, 01:50 pm |
1 can clearly read Malacca Strait underneath the 3 letters in dispute. That alone makes it clear. The other earlier errors had the same conflict that should have raised a white flag.

| DC209 F08 STRANGE DAYS AHEAD (dc209) former.trout Feb 09, 04:08 pm |
What is 'reasonable' is defined by the GM. Not just in this game, but in any PBEM game. Obviously in this case, Michael (the GM) feels differently about it then you do.
