IRTM 2 days late on making a run at the US OPEN

lol

Yeah, I don't want to be the arbiter of these things, though, so I stated my list in advance:

I don't mind being insulted, I just don't even know what you mean.

Which is useless because unless we memorized the list, we aren't allowed to go back and look at it anyway.

That would constitute research.

This ^

I just made an educated guess it was a list of UN members

Yeah, & it was a different continent than the lists from the last game. I understand it's not helpful. It's the only way I can avoid making grouping decisions, which is necessary considering my current time crunch & the nature of trying to score this game.

My point of saying that was to try to steer people away from things that aren't universally considered European countries (or toward them on a Roo).

Am I the only one confused? Lol

No.

But we're confused for different reasons.

No clue how the scoring works and no clue how I aced a peehs answer and it said -2 lol

IRTM I was making fun of you for scoring a -3 and referenced the somewhat large golf tournament that just finished as your -3 would have done much more work there

Peehs scores are subtracted from overall score. So instead of adding 1, a PEEHS ace subtracts 1 (-2). If 1 other person said the same answer it would be -4 so you get -2 instead of 2.

If this is an easy fix DM, it would be useful

In other upcoming ruling news:

I'm pretty sure his HEEP scorer does it, which would normally be the only use, but this is a weird situation. & I assume you have other weird uses in mind.

I rerally should have known to pick Canada over Japan. I coulda bin a contenda.

going Germany > France this game proving costly

Note: Mandarin v. Chinese ruling is going to have a huge impact on ~everything, so if people have objections to this non-group, speak now.

Thanks

In favour of non-group.
