Digest Number 1001

I thought I had a strong claim for funniest order
error entry when my Dendra
Dwar challenged & killed Duran (I was supposed to go
for a Woodman
character - must have been drunk when doing orders).
However, I recently
came across a neutral who honourably told the DS he
was going free, marched
his armies inside Mordor, then mistakenly changed
alliegance to Dark rather
than FP.

oK, i won't go back much futher, but I had to type in
some DS orders for a person who was on holiday

He had 1000 food/steel/whatever in a pop centre which
he wanted sold

instead of ordering 320 sellcar food 1000, i ordered
310 sellcar food 1000 (so I entered a 1, instead of a
2).

the old order entry program ignores the code, so I
ended up with buying 1000 food at market price (310 is
bid from caravans, and a blank price means buy at
current buy prices). This bankrupted the nation (we DS
don't have that much money), and a healthy nation went
out of the back door with tax > 100

I wasn't popular.

:frowning:

actually I don't remember being asked to do his orders
when he went on his next holidays :slight_smile:

thanks
din

p.s my defense of 'I send the orders to all the
others, and no one picked it up either' didn't help.
