Funny guys.

Unfortunately my daughter sucked me in to helping her with a school project last night so I didn't get a chance to get on and update the track. Just a few minutes and it will be up.

Summary, favorite order was accelerate +1 straight, but there were a few exceptions.

I specifically designed the track that starting positions were real close to even.

OK, all set.

Really hoping Skanky doesn't box me out

Nice of ADG to push ahead though, gives us room to move in

rah · February 20, 2004, 11:14

I'm waiting to see if anyone can take advantage of the slip rule.

alva · February 20, 2004, 11:17

Good thing you mention it, I already forgot about it

Maybe wildcards should work in the same way;

IE as A temp movement, especially when it comes to speed.

If things continue the way they are, then I'm sure Jamski will have lots of opportunities to practise.

alva · February 20, 2004, 11:22

They do increase the odds of crashing me thinks.

I thought I'd try something different this time... last game I was crashing into everybody, now it's their turn to crash into me

rah · February 20, 2004, 12:07

With a wider start, it seems to have eliminated some of the early crashes.

NOTE: In an attempt to keep my inbox clean, once you send an order in for a current round, I will consider that I did your previous turn correctly so I can delete the previous pm.

Warning: There are some reasonably sharp narrow turns later in the track that it would help to have a few WCs for. (at least on the first lap, since you can plan better on the second lap)

Btw, orders have been sent...

Note, Jonny, your order was accelerate + 1 right. So I assumed it was accel and use a wc. to make your speed 6. If that was not the case, please be more clear in the future. Without it, you would have crashed this turn with spaced.

Jamski · February 20, 2004, 18:17

Oh, and my last orders contained an order to accelerate...

DrSpike · February 20, 2004, 18:59

Wow I'm lagging. Are there oil traps for the leaders?

alva · February 20, 2004, 19:00

hmm, Rah, I think you missed an acceleration

Jamski · February 20, 2004, 19:34

Yes, mine.

1st round - same speed and left. 2nd round accel straight. Actually I should be TWO squares further forward.

I was talking 'bout mine

I accelerated in both turn one and two (at least that was the idea

)
