I don't really know what happened in this game now or earlier, I'm just a casual observer. Snoopy, the GM has the authority here.
But to clarify on my position as a former World Dip GM, I was lenient and I accepted late orders up until the public posting of the map. On our specific case Dip, you PMd me after the public posting. Regardless, you still
DOMINATEDthat game.

I was impressed
I feel that after the posting of results "time has advanced" and you can't go back. More importantly, you can't change your orders after because you could have seen what everyone else wrote and that would be unfair. However on the other side, leniency up until the public posting allows for real-life stuff for everyone involved. Also it's like the 0 counter that lotr_freak said.
The ideal GM would log on early before the deadline, make the new map, and post it immediately after the deadline. Then this would not be an issue. Sadly this is not always possible.
ANYWAYS that is just my point of view. I have no personal grudge, interest, or power in this game at all
