FG: Nascar V Race Thread (Curve City)

[Chaunk]

Rah, I think me and Skanky should not have crashed, I thinkI should be one further down than where Skanky is and heading south. Also, I did send amended orders with no break at the end, but thats of no major consequence.

[rah]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out. Give me a few minutes. Work has to come first.

[Jamski]

Oh crap. Its ANOTHER of these diagonal bits that don't let you drive diagonally on closer inspection...

Looks like a straight, is actually a chicane. Pah.

The best I can do, using 1 WC and breaking, I still crash, but only go 2 *'s offroad (the red ones)

-Jam

[Spaced Cowboy]

Some of us have been braking for a reason....sent BTW

Don't worry Jamski, I suspect that there will be plenty o' crashes in this one.

[Jamski]

Don't worry Spaced, I'm staying in the race - just glad I managed to keep it down to only 2 *'s offroad, not 3. With Rah's new crash rules I'll still have speed 6 *phew*

But where will I be placed? And what direction?

-Jam

[rah]

closest to where you went off. the direction will be determined by judgement/some random. (i will not point you in such a direction where you will be off the track again on your first move.

Upon further review. You are correct.

New position.
Sorry folks. There was no crash that turn.

And since Skanky hasn't sent orders yet. Everyone else should be fine.

I have forgotten how easy it is to screw up.

[rah]

But, now the both of you are probably heading for a Chaunk, hahahhahah.

[Chaunk]

Orders sent... I think I may have avoided a Chaunk, but I think I might have pulled a Jamski... we'll see...

[Spaced Cowboy]

I hope this isn't one of those off-track braking games.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Perhaps a WC penalty for going off track?

[rah]

If I judge that it's part of the strat, penalties will be invoked. So far, I think it's just been carelessness.

And partially my fault for not putting in that one critical * in that turn.

[Skanky Burns]

And the fact that it is impossible to navigate this track from that starting speed without burning untold numbers of WCs.

Orders in when flood control lets me send another PM.

[Chaunk]

Amended orders sent...

[rah]

Actually if people had breaked from the begining and continued breaking, minimal WCs would have been needed. I assumed that people would chart that out. I don't know how many times that I said to save up WC for later in the race.

But you're right, I probably overdid it, but I really wanted a different type of race. In the last race, I won it on only the second turn in the race, and from there it was all over. While it's nice to win, it lacked suspense. Everyone's first track has had some type of minor flaw.

So think of this as the ultra nasty, that a good compromise will come out of. I did run this track a few times and it is possible, But at some points people are going to have to SLOW down.
