Formula 3 - Apolyton

[Ming]

I am Ming's so I don't have all the files I need. Ming get's cranky when I change the cookies.
I'll do it tomorrow, Sorry guys.

[DrSpike]

Ah, I thought Ming was joining F3 for a second then.

Tomorrow is fine.........usually some orders take a while over the weekend anyway.

[rah]

I had to post in Mafia so i did finally change the cookies, but I don't have my event probability tables with me. I could calc them again pretty quick, but You all know how lazy i am... But i must admit this game has been more work than I thought it would be.

[alva]

No worries, take your time, we can all use a rest

[Drogue]

Probability tables? For crashes, flip a coin for who's in front, for oilslicks, roll a die (with 2 numbers for each)? But alva's right, rest is good

[Skanky Burns]

Dammit, thats what I get for not checking my pre-made orders before sending them in. I was supposed to end up 1 square in front of ADG's current position by my planning, but submitted the wrong order. ****

Still, it may be recoverable.

[rah]

Plenty of race left.

[Skanky Burns]

Yeah, but he is ahead of me and travelling twice as fast!

[DrSpike]

Skanky if you take him out again maybe myself and Jamski can close a little.

Btw (completely as an aside) he said to me earlier that you were a no-good thieving Aussie who would never have the balls to try and crash in to him again after the severe PM he sent you about the last crash.

:stir:

[Jamski]

Skanky - can't you TRY to knock him off the road?

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

I reckon Spikie would have more luck knocking you off the track, Jam. Not only is he travelling too fast for me to hit yet, but he isn't in a good position to shunt him off the track. Nor is being off the road permanent anymore. All in all, I think I'll just overtake him and win instead.

that you were a no-good thieving Aussie

I resent that remark! I may be no-good and I may partake in some theiving against fat nobles, but... Oh yeah, I am an Aussie too. Never mind, I take back my outrage.

[Jamski]

Much better plan - everyone keep crashing into each other, while I power ahead and win.

How does that sound?

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

/me turns the radio up in his car
"What was that Jam? I can't hear you over this music!"

[Jamski]

/me wonders why Skanky is listening to Gloria Gaynor *

-Jam

I was suprised to see you behind me... I was sure that you would be one position infront of me...

Turn 10 is now complete, accepting orders for turn 11

O=oil slick

Skanky Burns slides straight through the oil slick and is reduced back to speed 1.
Jonny and Alva crash, Jonny got the front spot and they're both reduced to speed 1. An oil slick will appear under the 5 car.

And the short cut comes into play.

1. Spaced Cowboy 1,5

[Jamski]

Orders Sendificated. (and oh they are sooo surprising)

Va-va-va-voom.

-Jam

[Jonny]

Orders sendificated.

Now, if only there were a shortcut for this corner as well... (since it is even tighter than the first one)

[DrSpike]

I'm sure everyone can predict my orders.

[alva]

Another crash..?

ah well doesn't make much difference.

Orders verzonden..

[DrSpike]

Sent here.

[Adagio]

This is getting interesting...

Orders sent...

[Drogue]

rah: If you hit an oilslick with movement left, do you move 90 degrees in that direction and then forward again, or do you move diagonally. For example, if I hit the oilslick behind Skanky, and it moves me right with moves remaining forward, will I go off the track?

[Skanky Burns]

Sent.
/me grumbles about them damn oil-slicks.

[rah]

if you have no forward movement left you can only move left right or straight. If you have 1 movement forward odds are you will end in one of 5 spaces in front of you. if you have more speed, almost anything can happen

One of 5? So if I'm on the oilslick with 1 forward MP left, then I would be in either of these postions?

[Spaced Cowboy]

I believe that I've sent my orders ahead of time, but in case, just repeat my last one, til I tell you to change.

[rah]

Yeah Drogue, something like that.

[rah]

Waiting on Drogue.

[Drogue]

Sent. Sorry for the delay.
