FG: Nascar V Race Thread (Curve City)

[gjramsey]

that was interesting, and it is about time for someone else to go sandbag hunting :grin:

Orders sent and no walls this turn!

[Chaunk]

Sent... Will be an interesting turn indeed!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Sent, you had better have stepped on the gas, Ram!

[gjramsey]

Who me?

I was thinking of using all 6 WCs on accelration and turning this turn.

[Jonny]

Rah, I think you may have messed up my orders.

I was headed NE after turn 13, and I made two lefts, so I couldn't be headed N at the end of 14.

I think I should be here instead...

[rah]

Yes, you are correct, I had you starting E which was the problem instead of NE. I was wondering why you moved the way you did. I hate these table codes. It's so easy to screw up. The track has been updated.

My apologies.

[Jonny]

Sent.

I came into this turn too fast, so I'm going to have to be very conservative with WCs during the rest of the race...

[rah]

Just waiting on the SKANK master.

[Skanky Burns]

Ask and you shall receive.
12 hours later.

[rah]

Now awaiting redo orders from Jonny. His current orders include using 2 WCs for direction which is not allowed.

[Jonny]

Then I'll go B(B+1)(m2)L instead.

I guess I need to rethink my strategy for the next turn, though...

[rah]

Turn 15.

Spaced's orders were to blm(l+1)mm, but with the break he only could move 4 so I removed the final m.

Jonny's turn was an adventure and Chaunk takes the inside track and the advantage.

Skanky is just following behind waiting for the right time to take advantage of all his WCs.

gjramsey didn't turn and avoided a crash that would have happened if Spaced hadn't braked.

These turns are certainly interesting.

Now accepting orders for turn 16.

[gjramsey]

Turn has been sent.

[Jonny]

Well... oops.

I guess that when I hurriedly typed the revised orders while I was getting ready to leave the house, I thought that I was going W and not NW. At least I somehow managed to stay on the track. I suppose I'll just be taking the 'long way' round the turn...

Sent!
