Thanks for the comment on my "New York Ancestry " game. The error you spotted is one of the worst types: multiple dots with a common clue, and one of them with an error in spelling or capitalization. That kind of thing is a nightmare to game makers.
I greatly appreciate that you spotted and reported it.
Thanks again.

I think you may enjoy some of my recent African themed games. I know you don't do groups and tournaments, but you are always up for some challenges. Just scroll down until you find the three Africa games. And always feel free to message me about your interesting games.

Thanks for the comment on my game "Disputed Territories of Europe".
I agree, Kosovo should've been on the map. I was able to add it in a round about way:
I took away another dot and made it "Kosovo (no dot)".
The dot I took was where two dots are essentially on top of one another: one for Prevlaka, and one for Veliki Školj & Mali Školj. That's a tiny bit awkward, because the former is a Croatia / Montenegro dispute and the latter is Croatia / Bosnia and Herzegovina dispute. Still, they are so close they can't be resolved on the map. (Would've needed an inset for that). Sometimes it seems that the Balkans exist in order to ensure employment for cartographers...
As for Rough's Tower, it is certainly an oddball, but you gotta sometimes put in the wierd ones, regardless of how wacko they seem. It makes the games more fun (at least for the maker). I'd never heard it referred to as "Roughs Tower" before, only as "Sealand". I have also changed that dot to have both names.
As for not including it: well, that's the nature of disputed territories: they are disputed: either who owns it or whether it exists as a territory at all. And as noted, it is kind of oddball, so just what I would include (politics notwithstanding). Besides: it was on the map I copied.
With regard to both Kosovo and Sealand (and politics in general) I regard these and other such considerations as being beyond the scope of what I'm doing when making games. (But certainly, I don't regard debates on those points as meaningless in the world beyond PurposeGames: some of them are quite important.)
Thanks again.

I think that concept is cool as well, tickman is the one who led me to that topic and suggested I make it a game, there are tons of different formats that the periodic table can be in. I plan to publish more of them in the future.

Thank you for what you said on my order of the states game. I agree with you, if your not interested in the topic of the game and don't finish playing it because it is not interesting to you than don't rate it. Now if the game was filled with errors and inaccurate information then you could vote, as you said.
Thanks again and happy gaming,
