I could do that, but it is ambiguous because the country is not shown.

It also increases the number of dots. That's not a problem to me as a player because I'm pretty slow. But among the better players, that may be seen as unfair because a previous player could hold the ATH only because there used to be one dot less.

To be really fair, I'd have to reset the highscores, and in a game with more than 245 players, I don't know how that would go over.

So out of respect and concern for the players, I don't think I'll do that. (Note that this problem isn't the same in cases where you delete a dot, or replace one dot with another: a replaced dot changes nothing, and a removed dot gives the previous ATH holder a chance to replay and do better.)

Sometimes, it's best just to think of games as being products of their times. Our discussion will point to the fact that the number of Landlocked countries has changed.

And I'll modify the title to make it more obvious that it's a function of the year the game was made, and not an incorrect background map.

As I say, I may revisit this topic again and make another game. But certainly not before the borders are finalized. (There could actually be another new country coming out of Sudan, as well, and I'd like to see if that happens and what it looks like.)

But, you can edit the game and add a dot in South Sudan. that makes you do very fast.

SpyYoshiRv:

That's true, or soon will be. Or at least, probably will be. (I thought July 9 was the expected date, though.)

But I can't change the background, so this game will have to remain as it is. It would take an entire new game to update it.

And even after official independence, it may be some time before there's an accurate map: the borders are still undetermined in some places.
