The Amazing Sanction Race

Recommended Posts

If you want to set strict rules on the formatting of the update then you'd better be there to do it yourselves every day. It used to be something that anyone could fill in and do, but now if anyone does it slightly 'wrong' – not in content but in formatting – they get blasted with red text. It's not a 'silly update', whatever clever automation you're using is 'silly' if it can't cope with updates done in a slightly different way, by someone who was trying to do a service to the community. Ratonbox's update was fine, it was late enough that clearly you weren't going to do it and your strict requirements will dissuade anyone from doing the update when you don't want to, leaving days with no update.

Sorry for getting ranty but it's annoying to see someone get shouted down for doing it ever so slightly 'wrong' when the complainer left the update undone. If you want to take ownership of the thread, fine, you go for it, but then you must do it every day.

I agree with you here, Bob, that it is kind of a jerk move to complain about people putting in volunteer effort to help the community, etc etc, basically what you said.

I just wanted to add that I think what he meant by "silly update" was the fact that you can't view the stats screens for 10 minutes after update, hence why that part of the text was not in red.

You're obviously replacing stuff you shouldn't be and adding extra colour code to the parenthesis. They don't have different colour codes, they stay the same damn colour as the [color=green]gain (green)[/color], drop (red), or [color=black]no gain (black)[/color], please stop adding extra stuff.[/b][/color] Sorry it took so long, had to wait 10 minutes due to the silly update.[/quote]

Oh my. Is this part of the disguise or is it all you?

Ah, perhaps. I'm not familiar with how update works. Still, I think the main point of my post still stands.

Yeah he most probably meant the update issue of not being able to display detailed stats.

However please do not disparage the efforts of those that step up and update when the regulars are unable to do so. They, the infrequent updaters too provide a good service to the community. They ensure that our daily soap opera airs on time.

If you edit the "How to update the Sanction Race" article from the wiki, i won't make any mistakes(if i ever do it, which i doubt, taking in consideration the time zone). I just did what it said there. About the tags/colors/brackets/whatever, I just copy-pasted from the last update, didn't do anything new.

IIRC, I did the update beforehand and I most certainly did not put individual colour codes for the parenthesis and the +# a different one.

Also, as for silly update, yes, it refers to the 10 minute bog down time on CN when nothing is allowed to work outside of your nation.

Agreed, if only so that they could be referred to as Aquanet. The Flock of Seagulls hungers.
