This is the next round of the Formula 1 game.

This time around:
* All orders are PMed to the host.
* Players now have 5 "wildcard" +1s.
* There are hidden oil spots. If you hit these you would 'move' one spot left or right (after that they become visible, which has another advantage that it is easier to catch up).
* Collisions no longer stop both players. The player in the lead at the time has their speed reduced by 50% rounded down, while the car that runs into them is reduced to 0.

Wildcards:
The player is given, prior to the race, 5 +1s to be used anytime during the race. Either they can specify prior what combo of +1 or they can be wild cards and used for any of the three actions +1 break, accelerate, or turn. Whatever people like. I like everyone having 5 +1 wildcards. Breaking 3 squares would cost 2 +1s.

The only other thing to decide is on starting order.
Last time we had those with the higher post-count being closer to the center, any better ideas for this round?

Reverse of last game's performance. Better performance last game = on the outside edge this time

Oh, sign me up too, I can't get enough of this.

[Adagio]

I didn't follow up on the last game, but I hope I understand the rules... sign me up

[Drogue]

Sign me up, though I'll have to read the rules

[Jamski]

Its pretty easy. Accellerate, Decellerate, Same Speed and Right, Left or Dead Ahead.

-Jam

[Pave]

Sign me in, but after I read the new rules.

I´d also like reversed start positions, or else I´m going to start from the edge forever

[alva]

I'm in too

Just to clear something up, if a turn is made, is that 1 movement point or not?
Example with 3 Speed/movement;

do you : left(1)--> forward(2)--> forward(3) = 3
or
LeftForward(1) --> forward(2) --> forward(3) = 3

[Skanky Burns]

Second example. The car moves diagonally the first square, then forward for its remaining moves. I haven't decided what happens for people who move sideways twice or more times in a single move though.

[alva]

leftforward-->leftforward-->forward ??

Only one turn per tile ?

[rah]

I'm in

You could handle the turns as requested. i.e

left accelerate would be move left then forward
accelerate left would be move forward then left

Using two wild cards

left accelerate accelerate(w) left(w) would be left forward forward left.

This would give the most flexibility. And offer the most strategic uses of wildcards.

Heck, I'll try it, I'll try anything....that will allow me to beat Jamski

Is there room for one more player?

[Skanky Burns]

Sure. Sign-up is still ongoing.

[Jonny]

Then count me in.
