A warning for Hed vs Med had come before. Malaysian sea looks the exact same as far as H vs M. This late in game there is no excuse to even put forward. Looking at & reading the map there is no room for question.

So we need to rely on a 3rd-party program, which Michael
does not send out the .dpy files for, instead of using the
map he does send, which does have abbreviations on it which
are supposedly to be accepted? It definitely looks like
HST, irrelevant of what the actual text name is.

Can you at least pls take the abbreviations off the map, if
you're not going to allow the ones that are printed on
it?

I guess I didnt look at the error initially, but this is
silly to not accept an abbrev that's on the map
that's sent out.

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.

Yeah but you have to agree the map clearly looks like

HST,

or certainly could be read that way. I mean if we

cant rely

on the abbreviations on the map we're receiving

from the

GM, then what can we rely on?

Personally I would allow the move as well. However,

to be

fair to Michael, he identified WAY early at the

beginning of

the game that he was going to be taking a strict
interpretation of the abbreviations. I almost had an

order

disallowed because I didn't call the province the

right

name - but luckily I included the correct abbreviation

in

brackets...

Long story short, I'd say its the GMs call to

make. =)

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.

Mike,

To be fair, MSt almost equals HSt on my screen,

but it is

no excuse for goegraphy stupidity on my part....

As for that and other error, kids, let it be a

lesson to

you - multitasking just does not work. And just say

no to

drugs.

I didn't think I'd see days like

either. John Lennon. P was on the road away from map

but it

is I's moves which are the show. 1. Malacca Strait
clearly can't be HST so not a reading the map

issue.

Hold. 2. F jak move to Cjak has no coast. Hold. 3.

Only 7

moves - none for F Jav. Hold. The 1 P ret is a given

Jav can go many places. Mon due. Indonesian F Jav can
