The racers are (car #, name, speed, heading, WC, orders):
1. alva,	retired
2. Rah,		3, SW, 1,	AS(m3)
3. gjramsey,	0, W, 2,	bR(R+1)(m2)
4. Spaced,	6, S, 0,	aR(4m)L
5. Jonny,	6, S, 2,	AR(m5)
6. Jamski,	0, SW, 1,	a(m2)

Jamski misreads the track infront of him due to a crack in the glass from his previous crash and bounces into the wall again. Flying around the corner is gjramsey, who spots the back of a car and decides the time is ripe to ram another car. Unfortunately for him, he runs into the very same wall Jamski collided with just seconds before. Rah takes the opportunity to slipstream the nearby cars, boosting him just out of reach of the kamikaze drivers, while Jonny and Spaced increase their leads and their speed.

EDIT: I rolled a 16, so Jamski got the position in front.

[Jamski]

Grr..... I blame whoever drew this map

The only order worth giving is accllerate 1 SW.

[Skanky Burns]

I can't belive you both crashed at the same spot though.

[gjramsey]

I swear you have changed the map!!!!!

[rah]

If I slipped, shouldn't I be at speed 4?

[gjramsey]

Slow down Rah! How can I bump you also if get up to speed 4???

You should and you should have moved 4 as well.

[Spaced Cowboy]

BTW my orders are A(7M).

I like the track, BTW

BTW, is 2 BTWs in a sentence too much?

[Skanky Burns]

As per the original rules, a slipstream increases the places you move in that turn without increasing your total speed.
This ruling is final unless you can link to a slipstream rule from previous threads where slipstream increased your speed permanently.

Orders dispatched.

[Skanky Burns]

Just waiting on Rah now.

It was actually on page 4 of the last thread where I did this.

Skanky contiues to pull out ahead of the pack with Rah 7 car lengths behind. He is followed by Ras, then Gjramsey, with Alva and Jamski ties for last. Alva executed the first slipstream and got a +1 speed boost and and extra movement. (In other words, if you were at speed of 10, and did not accelerate, a slipstream move will move you 12 spaces and leave you at speed 11).

You must be behind your opponent, either adjacent or one square away, and be directly behind them and traveling in the same direction at the beginning of your turn to execute the slipstream (clairification).


This makes slipstreaming very powerful IMO.

[rah]

Game Moderator's call. It really isn't that important now due to previous stupidity. I was more interested for the future when I hope it will matter more.

a(m1)L(m2 or however many it is)

[Skanky Burns]

As that ruling is newer, it shall be used as a precedent.
Rah, consider your speed as currently 4.

EDIT: What a nice time for a x-post.
