Formula 3 - Apolyton - Page 6

How about making the next formula game be like this:

Half the players drives one way, while the other half drives 'down' the map... if two players who's driving opposite direction crash into each-other, they're both out...
When a player reaches goal, he just turns around, and goes 'backwards'

DrSpike · February 25, 2004, 14:42

Ok I sent orders.

Hmmm, a crash requires two to tango.

Orders sent.

If only you hadn't put the turn 6 orders seconds after I walked out the door this morning, I could've gotten my orders in a lot earlier...

alva · February 25, 2004, 20:24

Well..., then dont walk out of the door... Stay in ( say it's a protest, worked for some other dude

)

2. crash Alva and Jonny
Alva is in front and Jonny is now behind. There is now an oil slick under the 2 car which will show once they have moved. New speed Alva 1 Jonny 1.

speed,WC
1. Spaced Cowboy 3,5 *
2. Alva 1,1 *
3. Jamski 4,6 *
4. Skanky Burns 5,3 *
5. Jonny 1,4 *
6. Drogue 3,5 *
7. ADG 3,3 *
8. DrSpike 3,5 *

This will hurt both both cars, so the ref deems it non-intentional.

The first major turn has really caused some problems. Fore-shadowing of things to come. THE CROWD has got their money's worth today>

Did we get to see more of the track? It doesn't seem to have changed since last time re: the distance we can see.

alva · February 26, 2004, 09:45

Sent,

I shouldn't be to hard to see where I will end-up, so watch it ok !!!!

/me hopes he has enough sticky-tape to hold the car together to the end of th race..

Skanky Burns · February 26, 2004, 09:48

Hmm, still 12 rows of straight after that bad curve, which hasn't changed since turn 5.

rah · February 26, 2004, 09:50

I expose extra track as I see fit. (another way of saying when I remember to do it) More will be exposed after the next turn. I'm starting to realize that I made the track too long, and this race is going to take awhile.

DrSpike · February 26, 2004, 09:55

I think my speed should be 3. Can you confirm this and whether my car (8) should be one line higher?

Adagio · February 26, 2004, 09:58

Turn sent...

Drogue · February 26, 2004, 10:07

Orders sent. Dammit you lot crashing. Now I have to manouvre to try not to run into Johnny or Spaced

Spaced Cowboy · February 26, 2004, 10:14

What happens if I end my turn on an oilslick?

Drogue · February 26, 2004, 10:19

Same as always, IIRC. You are still moving, so can be moved left or right. In otherwords, you need to use a wildcard and risk hitting Johnny or risk going off the track to escape

Spaced Cowboy · February 26, 2004, 10:27

So I have a 50-50% chance of moving right or left, or a 33% chance of moving right, center, or left?

Drogue · February 26, 2004, 10:33

50-50.

Skanky Burns · February 26, 2004, 10:34

I thought Rah said he was going to change the way oil-slicks are handled. Best to let him specify what the chances are.

Your placement is right, but i forgot to post the change in speed, I'll correct it. thanks.

Spaced Cowboy · February 26, 2004, 10:52

Rah,

Can you clarify the rules please.

What happens if I end my turn on an oilslick?

If it still moves me one forward, do I have a 50-50% chance of moving right or left, or a 33% chance of moving right, center, or left?

Reiterating what was posted as the rules on the first page

Quote:

Oil spots, random left or right 1-3 spaces, speed reduced in half. (unless you leave the track)

If you go off the road. 1-2 spaces. reduced to speed 0.
If you go off the road 3+ spaces. reduced to speed 0 and lose a turn.
You will be placed back on the track where you last exited, (my judgement)

Until now, I just though I was particularly bad at running these games, several rounds having someone's speed incorrect or whatever. Glad to see others make mistakes too.
