Formula 2 - Apolyton

This is ridiculous. To not use a wild card, I'm going to have to slow down to speed one. Why did all the new players get a better start?

[rah]

not even going to bother PMing my next round since it doesn't matter, so I'll just post it. right break.

And for the next round same thing.. right break.

Now doesn't that sound stupid? Three turns in moving at speed one. And I'll probably get hit. And don't give me that you'll be happy to be in last crap. If my only chance is that EVERYONE else crashes, I'm not interested.

Next time design a stinking track that has a little more straightaway wide to let people jocky for position at the beginning. This one sucks.

Orders sent for round one.

rah, we did a reverse start positions, aka what better you drived in last game, the more awhul place you have.

[rah]

Rasputin wasn't even in that game and he got a good starting point. So didn't give me that.

[Jamski]

Rah, I'm not too pleased with my start either, but hey... winning from here is just more impressive.

rah: Use a wildcard. I understand you're annoyance, you're start position is the worse than mine, and I've got the other outside. However it's what the wildcards are for. IMHO, the front runners will all hit each other, unless you can get right out infront (like Jamski). Along with the oil slicks (that I think are a bad idea, someone going off and crashing just because they are in the lead) it could be a blessing in disguise.

With one wildcard, you can have the next turn at speed 3, and the one after at 4.

And the turn after that? And the odds are I would be hit since that path is needed by others on the outside. It should at least come down to luck when we bunch up.

No, it's not fair that other people can use a wild card to get a jump start, while some have to use them just to make the first turn. If the starting line had been pushed back 5 pips, there wouldn't be an issues. Or if we had all started at speed 0.

This blessing in disguise, I don't buy either. This means I have to run a perfect race and hope for someone else to screw up. I know that certain starting spots will haven an advantage, but these aren't even close.
Prior I was thinking strat on when to use the WC, at the begining to get a good start or later to catch up. I will be able to do neither.

More thought could have been put into this.

[Jamski]

Just wait for everyone to crash on the first narrow bit, then power past, rah

Round 1 sent, round two a little bit later...

For the record, the opening track was expanded significantly compared to the last game to give those on the outside edge more chance. You are right though, that first bend really does kill any chances you may have. I propose that we magically straighten out this part of the track so everyone has at least some chance. As this change doesn't affect anyone who has posted their 2nd round orders, you can now consider this officially done.
