As I have been busy with exams, and as I am trying to place dozens of people, I have in fact gotten behind on the political map. Rather than get upset with me, follow these simple steps:

1. Check the political map at the thread.

2. If your claim is wrong or not present, calmly tell me below.

3. If your claim does not include a map and a link to where the claim was confirmed by at least one mod, I will not add it.

4. If at all possible, draw claims on a resource map. I also need your cities and water tiles. Written descriptions are not good enough, and unsatisfactory maps will either be ignored, or I will interpret them myself as I place them. Your mileage may vary, so just make a full claim.

5. If you want to settle/claim but a mod hasn't confirmed yet, just ask us/me again. Even if you asked once, it's possible I forgot about one post out of the 35 mentions I deal with a day. I apologize, just ask me again.

6. I will update the map as soon as I am able. This will most often be 10 AM EST, 3PM EST, or 8 PM EST. As hard as it is to believe, I was only somewhat inactive for 46 hours, and I'm back now, so just chill.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
