How does an M-slice work?

[Ranzha]

He said "is this a one off case or does it really not matter? "

You said it doesn't matter.

You should've said that it was a one off case.

Sorry, I missed that.

M: from top to bottom
E: from left to right
S: clockwise

Just to extend on this, this should makes sense to most of us since most of us read from left to right and from top to bottom, and clockwise is generally the "positive direction".

 

[Kirjava]

M comes after L in the alphabet.
E comes after D in the alphabet.

We should call the standing slice G.

Does anyone remember the thread where there was a long discussion about slice directions, and Owen said he would make up new notation?
I'm trying to find it but I don't remember the thread title nor when it was made.

Ah yes, that one.

Basically, M, E and S are defined as following L, D and F respectively. Deal with it.
