Removing Standing Orders

[Harry O]

Lets say this order was issued to establish a standing order and it worked.

60 971 MO 1TR 4

which shows this in your standing orders a few turns and works.

971 MO 1TR 4

Then you want to remove the standing order

50 971 MO 1TR 4

but it doesn't work for 2 turns.

What am I doing wrong?

A better question, actually, is has anyone had success with order 50? I'd like to validate its been ok, as wanderer's example certainly seems correct...

[Kalrex]

I had issued standing orders in game 100 and cancelled them without an issue. It was raise agent and build fleets.

[kevindusi]

Same here. No issues. Train agent, increase influence, HC issue bid, etc. All started and stopped with no issues.

[Lucky Tiger]

I have a similar problem. I sent it in for consideration, but haven't heard any thing back about it. I had a prison guard on standing orders, but everyone escaped anyway. He is just a stubborn incompetent who doesn't know when to quit.

[kevindusi]

Lucky Tiger, I had some issues with escaping prisoners as well, so wouldn't mind this getting looked at. As the UN, I had two fanatic 4s on guard duty, which should make the prison pretty darn secure. Had escapes back to back turns.

[Jumbie]

By Guard duty you mean counter-espionage? Because the description of the order says that if the counter espionage fails the agent on CE is disposed of. Shouldn't your F-4's have been killed after the first escape?

[Lucky Tiger]

Maybe it is because they escaped, rather than were rescued.

[kevindusi]

Jumbie, honestly don't know the answer, but I'd be curious to get Rick's and/or Cipher's take.

I have the same issue in 104. It looked right to me but the order is still in place.
