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&#8230; fuck. Frozen&#8217;s typical &#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221;. Except it&#8217;s it&#8217;s a Trick AND a Treat!<\/p>\n<p>Right, so Cortesi got on a bit later on in the day. He showed me &#8220;a map&#8221;, which was more like a line of sponges marking where the A8&#8217;s extension (after it leaves Whitechapel) will go.<br \/>\nFrom the start, the A8 is nothing BUT curves&#8230; 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&#8230; it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>This looks like my greatest challenge since I-1. I&#8230;. I&#8217;m still questioning my sanity. But I shouldn&#8217;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&#8217;t had picked me to do it if he didn&#8217;t have confidence I can do it.<br \/>\nAnd 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&#8217;s a straight shot, I&#8217;m going to continue requiring help.<br \/>\nThough I AM trying to do some of these angles on my own (shock, I know). But I can&#8217;t ALWAYS depend on others to help me!<br \/>\nThough thankfully, I have the support of suppoe, RedBear47, and Starcubed. Also Tulsi&#8217;s happening. But he too feels the pain I feel. And even suppoe, he nearly blames me for accepting this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nUpdate: 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 &#8217;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&#8217;m not too sure if I&#8217;m going to approve it to be built.<br \/>\nHe 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&#8217;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.<br \/>\nSome members feel that frozen could be possibly breaking his own rules, by stating &#8220;no sharp turns&#8221;&#8230; yet wants me to do hairpin(180*) turns and hard(90*) turns. Also, suppoe didn&#8217;t know what a &#8220;hairpin turn&#8221; is.<\/p>\n<p>And the reason RedBear planned the alternate, longer route, is due to a sudden forced bridge that&#8217;ll go into a mountain. He claims it&#8217;ll look too weird. Personally, I rather go with weird than go with a longer route. I&#8217;ll have to talk to suppoe over it. And Tom_Pairs also wants to talk to frozen about the hard-ass turns.<br \/>\nI think we all wish frozen didn&#8217;t think of this road, in this shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I stated a day ago in my post, frozen informed me that &#8220;A8 is go&#8221;.
