Of course, you *could* just turn off Auto-Correct.

I will usually mention to the player if I can't make heads or tails out of an order. But if the order looks correct, then I'll prrocess it.

Also, if you have questions about a territory name, remember to check the map at:

For correctness, can we have an exception (or at least an honest attempt) to catch invalid orders due to references to invalid territories? Because of the tightness of the board, sometimes a unit is placed over a territory name (the Pirate army in "The High Way" is a good example) and it's easy to make a mistake there... Just a thought


I'd also suggest that no one submit orders on a phone with autocorrect... I've already had my phone screw me a couple times (or try to)

I also learned that "UNDEAD" gets auto-corrected to "Infrastructure" (at least on an android)... go figure...

Fastest Dispute Resolution E-V-E-R!!! 
The powers that be declared that Mist -> Crystal is an *invalid* order.  And I learned something new about the way RW works.

Usually I catch these and allow the player to fix the error before processing. However, I did not in this case.


So, with the eye of fairness watching over my shoulder, I will NOT be checking future moves for correctness.  Feel free to *ask* me about the validity of a move, but any typos or misorders from this point forward will be accepted as intended.


I usually invoke this rule in 1904, so only early by 2 years.

One order missed:   Archer F Endor -> RIft Canyon

One order under dispute:  Centaur F Mist -> Crystal.

The missed order doesn't affect anything except the specified unit. However, the disputed order may cause a restructuring of the Northern borders.



Sorry for the errors.  I will fix them, where necessary, later tonight and send out new results.

Thanks for your patience,
Mike
