Here is a copy of the email I sent to the GM about what is happening in my country. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Last weekend, I posted in the forums about a country with several outstanding orders that I had placed. Those orders were placed over a real life week and that morning they switched to "immediate order." This was in my country Battle of Wits and the product was Mid Range Missiles. I had just used that country to fight a C3 war and had made several LRD's with MRM's in them. It left very few MRM's in my country stock, while I did still have several 1000 Mid Range Missile Batteries. There was also a small order placed by the auto system for MRM's on immediate order. Everyone seemed to agree that the reason the orders I had submitted were changed was because I had briefly gone below 0 on MRM in my country stock. It still showed I had a couple 1000 and I had not recent purchases, but I thought it could be possible. I still didn't think my old orders should have been changed to immediate, but I figured as long as I knew this is how it happened, I could work within that set of rules. I canceled all 7 of my orders and placed new orders.

Now, tonight, I check the orders on my main, Horde of Nations. I have 6 orders for MRM's. The first was placed Nov 2848 for just over 12,000 missiles. There are 5 more orders over different months. The most recent was for about 28,000 missiles in Feb 2850. All 6 of these orders are now showing as "immediate" orders. I do not fight any wars from my secured main, even C3 wars. I have not fought a war with any of my countries since the one I mentioned above. Horde of Nations has 9809 MRMB in stock and 112,000 MRM's. Why have my orders been changed to immediate? I am well above 0 in stock. There is no auto-order, which would indicate I had slipped below 0. You can see I had no military units that I disbanded to get these weapons. They are sitting in my stock. I now have to cancel all of those orders, and once again, I will have to spend a week re-placing the orders.

I don't care if it takes a decade for those orders to be filled--I want them filled the way I place them! That is why we have the system we do. If I wanted an immediate order, I would have placed an immediate order. How can this be fixed? I am tired of having to log into my countries all the time to make sure that orders I placed days ago have not been changed without reason. I enjoy playing this game, but it is discouraging to have to log in and undo things I have spent a week doing. I am cross-posting this email in the forum so I can see if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

Thanks
Zen.
