KNAS and Roddy are both correct.
It does say in the rules, but as I didn't write them, its hard to remember all of it. But I have let every newcoming nation do it, so as to get them caught up with the rest, I never thought of it bothering anyone else due to the fact that I did not allow them to attack another country during the turns they weren't here, but Roddy does make sense when he says he would have taken Mexico out in the begining.
Frankly, there is not much I can do about this. So many other countries have already made up the turns they weren't here, with my approval and I have actually helped them in some areas.
The best I can do is quit this nes, write up new rules for a similar nes like this, and launch that. This nes is so huge anyways, for the next one I might just team up with someone to run it. I have already made so many mistakes in this one. I guess we can just call this one a trial, lol.
Anyways, its up to you guys. If you want me to quit this one, work on rules for another one and have that one up, I can. Or we can just act like nothing happened in the past and I will not allow redo of turns. This also won't mean the end of my mistakes, since there are so many things that can go wrong in this nes mistakes are going to happen.
