AA safety audit: Steps 2 and 4 are publicly visible, with step 4 making steps 1 and 3 visible. Any mistakes in steps 1-4 would potentially result in Admiral dynastic action lockout, with the current effects being that he could not start the new Watch until they were redone right, and that maritime actions, including secret actions, would be invalid up to that point.

Captains could probably help out with publicly obvious step 2 mistakes by correcting the GNDT, but most mistakes would likely be only privately recognizable and/or fixable, due to orders’ PM nature.

Estimated likelihood of lockouts: high.
Inconvenience of lockouts: high.
Difficulty of resolving lockouts: med-high.
Recommendation: Should not be made an AA. Instead, give Admiral a way to fix mistakes after the Watch has started.

I like the reorganizing you did, but I hate dealing with AAs. Would vote yes to turn them off.

I thought that we made it impossible to be locked out of dynastic actions via AA with the addition of this clause
“If a Wizard arrives at a step in an Atomic Action and they cannot perform that step, they undo all the steps that they performed of that action and are never considered to have performed that action.”

because this makes it so that all shots are removed and never seen by any Captain, while the other version only removed the shots that were there previously. At least I think that’s what the original wording of the rule does, it could’ve just been worded confusingly to me.

What the previous version was supposed to do was for the chart to be updated according to the new moves and shots made via the private messages, and at the same time to remove all the shots which are currently on the chart.

This is supposed to represent how a shot is made, it hits the water/a ship, then is gone; also so the whole chart doesn’t fill up with shots.

Sorry if my phrasing isn’t very good!

[card] Steps that can’t be performed aren’t the problem, and for the record, I don’t think there would be any in this case. The problem is that when, say, the Admiral makes a simple mistake in where a ship gets placed, that ship’s Captain could bring it up two days later, and the Chart Update (based on AA rules) would have to be rewound, along with a full two days of maritime actions.
