It wasn't, but people kept sending in orders that had multiples. I sugest that we change it to as many as you like. Who are we to say how someone can use wildcards? As long as we are all on the same playfield, then everything is fair.

But then that only covers lrlr or rlrl not llrr or rrll. I am looking for clarification before I send in a turn since it will have an impact quite soon.

I will say that yes, going LLRR will be just one wildcard, unless a case can be made against the maneuver being only 1 WC.

There you go, confirmation.
I have based my orders on that, anyway.

Geez! I thought GM was going to be easy!! :

I was basing my decision on the fact that we do allow LR without a wildcard. I see where Rah is making his arguement with LRLR or vise-versa. Skanky was basing his question on nesting the commands. A LR inside a LR. Thinking like a programmer, this makes sense to me also.

Are we all confused now?

[rah]

Yes,

[Skanky Burns]

Perfectly.

[gjramsey]

I have no problem with LLRR or LRLR or RLRL using 1 wildcard.

I also agree with Spaced's comments above about using as many wildcards as you want in a turn.

Anyone opposed to this?

[rah]

Using as many as you want does change the stratagy a bit. But you're the GM and the call is yours. WE're just trying to have fun and avoid getting hit from behind.

[gjramsey]

It does change the strategy somewhat, doesn't it. Maybe the as many as you want in a turn should start in the next race.

I am not in this race, so you will have to worry about me next time! ;

Sent.

I still disagree, since I asked the rlrl question last game, actually I asked the lrl question...my bad.

I think that you should be able to rlab without WC but any repeats cost u a wildcard.

[gjramsey]

I have been thinking on this more, and I think I see what Spaced is saying. The RL or LR is not a combination, but one specific of each. If you want to do a second one of either of them it should be a wildcard for each one.

Since I ruled the other way earlier with them being a combination, we will stick with that ruling for the rest of this race.

[Jamski]

That's what I thought too... but you're the GM, and let's not change things midrace.

Still waiting on Panzeh.

If I get any more complicted questions, the whole track might combust!

(car #, name, speed, heading, WC, orders):
1. Rah,		12, N,  5	(m4)L(m7) 
2. Spaced,	13, NW, 5	a(3m)l(5m)(l+1)(3m)
3. Skanky Burns,13, W,  3	a(m6)L(m4)(L+1)(m)
4. Panzeh,	11, NW, 3	a(a+1)(m4)l(m5)(l+1)
5. Jonny,	12, NW, 5	A(m5)L(m4)(L+1)(m1)
6. Jamski,	14, W,  1	l(l+1)r(m1)(l+1)(m9)

Jamski figured his way around the turns and still accelerating in to the next set of turns. Spaced has made a nice move and is quickly gaining on Skanky. Jonny is still following close behind. Rah looks to have misjudged the upcoming turn and is going to run off the track on the next turn.

Will add Panzeh's turn when recieved, and accepting orders for the next turn!
