Hammer755 · 02-21-2003, 01:06 PM

Rules question, Cougar.

We used Miami, but it was overridden. Can the other team then use Miami, or is it off-limits because it's already been used?

WSUCougar · 02-21-2003, 01:07 PM

The other team can use Miami, or whatever answer(s) you have not used (i.e., have overidden).

Damn, so I did. I've edited that post to fix the mix-up, but we've got other problems, since that screws things up royally.

Any suggestions on repairing the damage fairly?

stkelly52 · 02-25-2003, 11:06 AM

Just ignore the mistake. that is the easiest solution. No one will be overly upset

Ryche · 02-25-2003, 11:07 AM

Aye, ignore it. That way if evens lose, we can lose under protest.

Seriously, not a big deal, this game is way to fun for a geographer.
