question d) what is a 'peleton'

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: What do you mean?

[oldbonz]

- Meepledrone: What do you mean?

the translation for question "d" in French is not understandable

[SailingMeeple]

- Meepledrone: What do you mean?

the translation for question "d" in French is not understandable

Je pense que c’est quelquechose comme ça: 

Jaune a un champ situé au sommet. Combien de points gagne jaune avec ce champ?

(J’espere que c’est plus claire maintenant. Je parle seulement un petit peux de français.)

- The Grinch: Say something... I can go on for hours...

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: Dear all! I'll be pushing F5 non-stop on my meeple browser waiting for your remaining answers until December 29th.
- Meepledrone: Hope you have a great Christmas and that Santa brought you a lot of sensible gifts.
- The Grinch: If you were expecting a Spiel tile, rest assured I intercepted your request and you will get a crippled meeple instead.
- Meepledrone: Your Meepleness should go away... ahem!... and have some rest after yesterday's excruciatingly evil display.
- The Grinch: Oh, sure! Have to gather some strength!
- The Grinch: Evil cannot cease to spread...
- The Grinch: (going away) Did you see The Spell Circles affair? Nobody gives me the deserved credit...
- Meepledrone: Ahem! Ahem! Where was I?
- Meepledrone: Ah yes! I will accept answers until December 29th 00:00 CET.
- Meepledrone: (whispering to himself) Sounds so professional!
- Meepledrone: So, have fun and celebrate!
- Meepledrone: Best wishes to everyone!
