Good, then I'm only missing your orders...but them again your choices are....?

[Kassiopeia]

Okay, this time I could swear I have already sent them. SA(8M), anyway.

Edit: The message is in my "Sent items" box, for goodness' sake. Mind your delete button.

[senior moment]This is strange, I see it now, but swear it wasn't there earlier[/senior moment].

[Sparrowhawk]

Looks like you have all the orders now then.....update tomorrow?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Dilema,

Rah's orders have him driving into a wall. If he was in last place, I'd over look it and ask him for new orders. Bur since he is in the lead and I'm trying to keep it close...what do I do?

[Kassiopeia]

I guess he'll have to drive into that wall, then.

[Spaced Cowboy]

vote is one to the wall, three votes left. Rah can vote, but it doesn't count....just kidding.

I'm going to let this one be decided amongst the racers. all need to vote, wall or resubmit.

[Kassiopeia]

Seriously though, I think he can resubmit provided it doesn't take ages for that to happen. And also, the next time my orders are wonked I want the favour returned.

I think this should be the GM's call, if I recall correctly earlier in this game you corrected gjramsey's orders with a similar error. Past precedent suggest you do the same (either fix it or allow him to adjust it).

Having said this in the previous game (with a different GM) I sent in orders that mixed up my R and L (I should have put in a RL and I did a LR instead which put me off track. Catching up cost me the game, but I agree completely with the decision to put me off track, I am the one that sent in the orders, it was my mistake.

I think this is what makes Nascar the game it is, if the GM corrects our errors, we reduce the game to a strategy of when to use our wildcards (and somewhat when to accelerate and when to brake, but this is somewhat limited). I think we need to have the GM process the orders as received but with the precendent set earlier this game I would understand if we applied that to the next game.

One other point, I don't think it should matter what place someone is in, the orders should apply the same in any situation in my humble opinion.

/me gives his 4 cents worth (Canadian cents, so only 2 cents when converted to other currency).

[gjramsey]

I do thank Spaced for re-interpreting my orders from earlier. I can see where in some cases, it might be easier to re-interpret the orders, in others, it might need some clarification from the sender.

With that said, I agree with what Sparrow said. We sent in the orders, we should live with what we sent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yeah, I guess that I set a precedent when I corrected Ramsey's orders. Thanks for the input guys.

Rah please confirm or correct your orders.
