Q: How do you highlight a missing city on an Asylum Request?

I noticed that sometimes a request for asylum does not allow the person asylum in Arstotzka, but I couldn't work out how to highlight that discrepancy. Is there any way to do that or do you just have to deny the passport without giving a reason?

@LessPop_MoreFizz If I lit a fire in here the whole log house would go up. Not a good long term plan.

StrixVaria

@spugsley It was really rambly in parts, and a good 150k words could easily be cut without losing much of anything, but the core plot was pretty solid.

I didn't give myself enough credit.

That's why this one is my final attempt and will be turned into a finished product.

List of longest novels

Composing a list of longest novels yields different results depending on what criteria are used. Length of a book is typically associated with its size—specifically page count—leading many to assume the largest and thickest book equates to its length. Word counts are a direct way to measure the length of a novel by a measure that is unaffected by variations of format and page size. Comparison of methods Three possible ways to determine length exist and each has its own method for determining length. Character counts are at best estimations of spaces, written characters and punctuation; G...

@PrivatePansy When you finish a tech, any leftover points for that turn go towards another tech down the tree.
