Can you do nested LR pairs? Say, go LLRR for instance using only 1 wildcard?

Orders sent! I found a way round the corner only using 2 WCs and still accellerating

Doesn't that just mean you'll smash into a different wall, slightly further down the track?

[Skanky Burns]

But at a much higher speed!

[duke o' york]

And with no wildcards left!

[Jamski]

Indeed! Speed is KING!

I prefer E myself.

Hmmm, that is a darn good question. Logically, it seems like the answer should be yes, since we allow a LR on the same turn without a wildcard. But then we have also stated that two lefts or two rights need a wild card.

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.

Coolies. Orders sent.

But a LLRR is not possible or it is and requires 2 WCs?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Actually the lrlr came up before and we decided that it would be one WC for each additional r or l, hence two would be needed.

In other words the first turn in either direction is free, after that you pay for them all, whether rlll, or rlrl, still 2 WC.

Does that make sense?

[rah]

Hmmmm, I thought using more than one WC for direction or speed in the same turn was not allowed. But you could use one for speed and one for direction on the same turn.

I'm going by GJ's earlier ruling.

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.
