Change the paragraph at the beginning of the rule, “Islands” from:

The Golden Archipelago is a group of 25 Islands, arranged in a 5x5 grid. Each Island has a name, listed below: the first letters of the final two words of an Island’s name are its Code, and determine its position in the grid.

to:

The Golden Archipelago is a group of 25 Islands, arranged in a 5x5 (row, column) grid. Each Island has a name, listed below: the first letters of the final two words of an Island’s name are its Code, and determine its position (row, column) in the grid, e.g., Code 2,3 corresponds to “The Island of the Barbary Coast”.

Adds some clarity to the grid concept in “A Weathered Map” proposal, if passed.

Note: The example seems a bit wrong, there - a “Code” is defined as a pair of letters, not numbers. It should say something like “e.g., the Island of Barbary Coast has a Code of BC and is positioned in row 2, column 3”, I think.

(Letter Codes are a little redundant, but I was assuming that they’d be useful for the GNDT if we started sailing around.)

Right, I agree, but was hoping to use this as the basis of incorporating dice (see Proposal: Die! Die!) by mapping the letters to dice values. If we can have five-sided dice with the values A-E, this objective is moot but IIRC the dice values are integers. Please correct me if wrong.

Regardless of whether the Code should be numbers or letters, the rule (even with your revision) defines it as letters.

Re-reading the rule, you are correct. The example might be better to say “B,C” instead of “2,3”.

Also, I saw the FRUIT, COLOR, and VEGGIE options in the Ruleset, which might help to clarify “Proposal: Die! Die!”.

against Per earlier note. Specifying one letter as row and the other as column is useful, but giving an example that contradicts this is needlessly confusing.
