Yup, you can sign up at midnight, like I tried too. yeah riiight. I hit register exactly at midnight, no dice. Kinda got slapped in the face. sad thing is, Admin won't remedy the situation.
If I were admin and somebody got screwed over like this, I would send a special invite as consolation. He's admin, he can do anything. He wrote this game, coding an invite should be no problem. 1 other guy got the same treatment. The last round had 210 nations, 202 should be no problem. all it would take is for Admin to create 2 nations over there and copy/paste our
CN standard info.
