I guess the means it's
a(m1)L(m3)

I wish it mattered for more, but after my first stupidity I figured I'd finish last so I'm surprised to be where I am.

[gjramsey]

orders sent and trying to avoid hitting Jamski again.

after my first stupidity I figured I'd finish last so I'm surprised to be where I am.

That is because you successsfully way out in front of me to avoid my carnage.....and somehow I have helped Jonny to be way out in front.....

[rah]

That was the idea. Unfortunately I didn't plan it out well enough when I misunderstood one of the rules. Then compounded the error.

Orders sent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Getting pretty easy to give orders at this point

a(8m)

[Skanky Burns]

Processing them is getting easier too.
Just need Jonny and Jamski's orders.

[Jamski]

I'll just go left one tile 45° round the corner, then accllerate southwards.

The Ramminator is back at it again! I rolled a 16, so Jam gets the spot infront. Hmm, a 16 again - I think my d20 is broken.

Jonny has officially entered the last corner of this track as Spaced and Rah race to join him.

I'm parking my car here. There's no way of getting on the podium now.

Humpf. I gave away a sure second place by crashing 3 times on this one corner.

-Jam

[gjramsey]

Just curious on how I crashed again. I was heading west on the previous round, moved 1 w, then a left, which I thought would have put me outside of Jamski

I will park right behind you Jamski. I think I have done enough damage to my car for 1 race.

[Skanky Burns]

Actually I seem to have stuffed up your orders there, not that it matters at this point. I think we can declare Jonny in car number 5 the Winner.

Congratulations Jonny!
Congratulations to Spaced Cowboy in 2nd place and Rah in 3rd place.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yeah,

He's got it wrapped, I was hoping that he was going too fast into this turn, but....

It really bites that I drove all the way through without a crash, but the guy who won, did so via the shortcut after a crash (aka mucho lucky).

I vote no shortcuts next time, I mean really, how many of those are in real races?

[rah]

Congrats Skanky, on a good track. Speed finally game into play with the new steering. Well done. And Congrats Jonny for negotiating the short cut. With this racetrack though, a short cut probably wasn't needed since the turns were more fun.
