Morocco, please let Canary Islands per the special rule.

Otherwise, the board can draw/cancel.

11 Jan 23 UTC Would have been nice to play with the agreed variant ruleset.
12 Jan 23 UTC gg
12 Jan 23 UTC I didn't see when anyone crossed the Canaries - did it have a big affect on the game? GG all!
12 Jan 23 UTC Gg!
12 Jan 23 UTC The Canaries were occupied from Spring 2014 to Spring 2015
12 Jan 23 UTC GG. I forgot the rules after first few round
12 Jan 23 UTC > Ethiopia: The Canaries were occupied from Spring 2014 to Spring 2015

Which meant they were then a centre belonging to Morocco, who then had an 'extra' unit for the remainder of the game.

Don't get me wrong, it was still a valid 'Africa' game; it just wasn't what people had signed up for any more.
12 Jan 23 UTC Madagascar - yes I know, I was just answering Egypt’s question (or I guess just the first part)
12 Jan 23 UTC whats the deal with not moving into Canaries? i see it only as a drawback for who ever draws Morocco
12 Jan 23 UTC I have a feeling that the person who created the game (and thus knows the actual reason for the special rule) is likely one of those who requested to be removed from the game - I'm not sure if they can still respond, given that.

My guess would be that Morocco kinda /needs/ a nerf on this map - they have won almost three times as much as the next closest position (42 vs 15 for both Madagasgar and Nigeria). They have a super boom start with at least 8 completely uncontested centres, and can almost set up a full stalemate line with just those units.
