As I stated a day ago in my post, frozen informed me that “A8 is go”. Meaning Cortesi gave control to me. I waited all day yesterday for either him or frozen to get on to get the map. What I got in return… fuck. Frozen’s typical “Trick or Treat”. Except it’s it’s a Trick AND a Treat!
Right, so Cortesi got on a bit later on in the day. He showed me “a map”, which was more like a line of sponges marking where the A8’s extension (after it leaves Whitechapel) will go.
From the start, the A8 is nothing BUT curves… all around this beach, even when it starts, it starts at an angle. It does straighten itself out before leaving the beach and heading into the mountains. But here… it’s pure HELL. Hairpin turns. Going through mountains at an angle. WHAT THE FUCK, FROZEN?!?! This makes the hell I went through with planning I-1 years ago, as easy as a child could plan it.
This looks like my greatest challenge since I-1. I…. I’m still questioning my sanity. But I shouldn’t really complain. This is what I love doing on the server. This is what I claim I know how to do well on the server. Frozen wouldn’t had picked me to do it if he didn’t have confidence I can do it.
And do it I shall. However, not without hundreds of people that need to help me with doing specific angles. Until I get to a point where it’s a straight shot, I’m going to continue requiring help.
Though I AM trying to do some of these angles on my own (shock, I know). But I can’t ALWAYS depend on others to help me!
Though thankfully, I have the support of suppoe, RedBear47, and Starcubed. Also Tulsi’s happening. But he too feels the pain I feel. And even suppoe, he nearly blames me for accepting this challenge.

Update: 10/20/15.. Day 3 of doing the road. Logged in to see that RedBear (who logged in yesterday) had set a lot of stuff while I slept. Not only did he plan where A8 would go ’till it reached the straight area that I could do myself, he planned out another route that he claims frozen approved (as an option). This is a much longer, difficult route, and I’m not too sure if I’m going to approve it to be built.
He also planned out how frozen wants the A-Class road to split into two roads (two lanes going in opposite directions). It looks similar to a road I actually love traveling on in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Scandinavia DLC (the one in Norway). Except that road is insanely twisty and goes through a mountain, even looping over itself several times before flattening back into a B-Class.
Some members feel that frozen could be possibly breaking his own rules, by stating “no sharp turns”… yet wants me to do hairpin(180*) turns and hard(90*) turns. Also, suppoe didn’t know what a “hairpin turn” is.
And the reason RedBear planned the alternate, longer route, is due to a sudden forced bridge that’ll go into a mountain. He claims it’ll look too weird. Personally, I rather go with weird than go with a longer route. I’ll have to talk to suppoe over it. And Tom_Pairs also wants to talk to frozen about the hard-ass turns.
I think we all wish frozen didn’t think of this road, in this shape.
