Nactation comment

In Response To: 2nd roll notes at GG (Nack Ballard)

I think that using numerals as Nactation symbols was a good idea and I use them frequently. But, when I have an adequate alternative, I use the alternative. With the combination of numerals and letters (or another symbol which isn't a numeral) my eye easily sorts roll from move. When I see something like 335, I have to pause and think that 33 is the roll and 5 is the move. This minor issue is compounded when I prepare my Nacbrac where I will show a similar combination of symbols with a different meaning. For example, if my move "5" is inferior by .0328, my Nacbrac will show it as 533.

I don't really view this is a problem. It just slows me down a little. It is still miles ahead of the old style notation. I would just prefer 33o for the move and a Nacbrac entry of o33 when it is a viable choice. It is probably eaiser to learn "5" and that's a good reason to teach it that way.
