FG: NASCAR 11 - NASCAR with a Vengeance

Queue updated.

It's up to you if you go back and redo the turn with the sandbag I included in the queue - it's there, i checked, but I didn't exactly red-flag it.

It would not mess up sparrow I think, but maybe ... it takes an L off his list i think, but probably not 2 Ls (?) ...

OTOH it would more likely mess up gjramsey ...

That would have hit cowboy, on his way to his sandbombs.

[gjramsey]

oh yeah, I am screwed with that bomb!

sent, taking into fact the SB

[Sparrowhawk]

Okay, I was waiting for Rah's call on the missing sandbag, but it looks like everyone else is taking it into account, so I did too.

Funny part is I expected someone to either bomb that spot or the one directly NE of it, and also that Snoopy was the most likely culprit, and was surprised that no one did

/me

Edit: And revised orders sent now too........though I didn't title them "revised" the second set are the ones that won't result in me driving off track.

Well I saw the SB originally and started calcing the turn, but they were on the same line as your orders for the previous turn not the current turn.
orders from your queue
AAMR(M7)L(L+1) SB 64,6
The move was from your last turn, and if i executed it, you
would have gone off the track. So I moved to the next line in your queue
AAMML(M10)
This was the orders you intended for this turn.

Your mistake creating the queue, and when I realized what you did, I removed the SB. GM call. TURN Stands as is.

[rah]

I'm sure you prefer that to the alternative of executing those orders and you driving off the track basically ending your race.

Drivers must be carefull sending queues, it can confuse things. In the future all queues MUST contain turn numbers.
And I will not automatically adjust orders for SBs based on a "This is the track line I want, please adjust" (unless the person has stated they're going to be away and don't want to hold up the game and giving me proxy to adjust)

I apologize if this creates a larger burden of you guys paying attention every turn. But as you guys can see from the number of mistakes that I've already corrected, THIS GETS CONFUSING every now and then, and having to interpret what you really wanted to do doesn't help.

I will still point out obvious mistakes on your part prior to a turn starting if there's time, but I will follow instructions as given.

I'm sorry, and I hope this doesn't cause any hard feelings.
That is not my intent. It's more fun doing all the work a GM must if everyone is having a good time.

[gjramsey]

New orders coming in then!

[rah]

I'd rather be racing and kicking your asses.
I'm looking forward to it in the next race.
So you guys better be having fun
And hope the winner doesn't dissapear from Apolyton like the last time

[Drogue]

Good call. And great GMing so far It's been a fun game - very close!

Can you just use the original turn 33 orders I sent, or would you like me to resend?

[rah]

If you don't mind, please resend since taking the most recent sent leads to less confusion. Thx.
