Gentlemen:
    This may be petty but, Is this the exact format required? The only
reason I ask is that some of us use a template for orders for all of our
games. Your US counterparts refuse to process orders in that format. They
insist that the orders be slightly different. They require that orders be
submitted as:

Alfred (alfre) @1234 (com,age,emi)
810 MovChar 900 FindArt
1235 86

If orders are not submitted in the "across" format rather than the "vertical"
stacking of orders they get upset. Is the above format acceptable? I've
been using it for a while now and haven't had any problems. Is that ok?

JMS

It's okay although not preferred. (What happens with that is that the
numbers can get confused as the tabulation isn't 100%)

I use that format as well, because it's on the back of your house rules
("Middle Earth House Rules and Procedures or How to Get the Most Out of
Your Journeys Through Middle Earth").

If you want to change, that's cool....

Yes we have changed it from then - keeping every bit of literature up to
date is a real pain... :slight_smile:
