I don't know... Maybe the lesson of alva's blind driving will teach the people to actually look at others' orders... After all, that's why I put up the little diagram with the projected positions after the received orders: so you could look and plan.

So, I'd say: let's finish this game with open orders, or at least do another round or two open, and then we'll see how it goes.

Half an hour left for Jamski and Frozzy...

in future games, no orders causes deceleration.

We could still do it for this game, since even the previous rule was stated after the start of this turn.

That makes more sense, since it punishes people for not getting orders in. Only, I think that their cars should be removed from the grid once they halt to a stop and do not move for one turn.

Its uncanny how accurate Rah can be sometimes.

I thought I was MEANT to ram rah. I mean everyone else was doing it...

Your orders for the next round, please.

Skanky Burns · January 10, 2004, 21:47

Steady and right.

mrmitchell · January 10, 2004, 21:50

accelerate left

Adagio · January 11, 2004, 09:16

Does the speed say how many 'dots' forward/left/right you go?

Skanky Burns · January 11, 2004, 10:11

Speed = dots forward. Left or right only let you move 1 dot from your current position left or right.

Jamski · January 11, 2004, 14:28

Accelerate right. (should put me next to where rah is now.)

-Jam

rah · January 11, 2004, 16:10

Accelerate straight, let's see someone ram me this time.

Looks like noone will catch Skanky unless he screws up like going too fast for the course

Alva could still do it.

Or unless someone sticks around the start to get him on the next lap.

rah · January 12, 2004, 11:46

At the rate I'm getting rammed, I may be there.

And isn't alva two dots behind at speed 0 or are we all on the same dot. It might make a difference in the future.

vovan · January 12, 2004, 12:19

alva is two dots behind but has speed one because you got rammed by Jamski, while there was really nothing slowing alva down last turn.
