Formula 1 - Apolyton (aka Yet Another Forum Game)

[rah]

Now I'm starting to worry.

[Jamski]

I was just emphasising that you would have moved ahead. (I don't want another crash either)

-Jam

[rah]

THAT"S THE SPIRIT

[Jamski]

Well, we could just crash every turn until we get lapped...

-Jam

[rah]

Let's think up a better strategy.

[Jamski]

How about we drive really fast and try not to hit anything and watch Skanky to see where the bends are?

-Jam

[rah]

I'm memorizing his moves.

[mrmitchell]

But then your speed will be 1 with Vovan right behind you to do the same to you. Or to overtake you.

I don't get it. How will he be there?

[mrmitchell]

BTW, how many laps are we taking, and how long is this course?

That will definitely affect the strategic value of letting BLAME HIM around as vision on some extra lines.

[vovan]

Projected positions for the next turn:

I will go left and accelerate.

Just waiting for you now, mm.

As far as the length of the track goes... As I said above somewhere, the track is fifty lines long... I was planning for three laps, but it might take a little too long. So, I was wondering what people thought about that. Maybe we should consult when (if?) Skanky crosses the finish line next.

[mrmitchell]

will post my shocking order, within 2 hours.

[mrmitchell]

Right. No change in speed.

I believe that, given patience, a better, less risky oppurtunity will come.

Jamski - 2
alva - 1
Pave - 0

[Jamski]

Skanky's had it if the bend is so tight.

Accellerate straight, and hope rah accellerates too.

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

Thanks mrmitchell.

Decelerate and right. I survived this turn due to mrmitchell's kindness. I don't want him to give him the chance to change his mind next turn.
