FG: Nascar VI Race: "Hot Wheels"

[Spaced Cowboy]

Still waiting on Jonny and GC.

[Jonny]

Orders sent for the rest of the race.

[Jonny]

El Bumpo.

I take it we're still waiting on GC?

[Spaced Cowboy]

No everybody is in...I'm just being lazy...update on Monday morning.

Turn 11: "This one is over."

I see no reason to continue, Jonny has this one wrapped up. He has already sent orders for next turn and no one will catch him. Rah takes second, Sparrow takes third, and GJ comes in fourth.

On hindsight, I should have had more sharp turns and made the racer have to syop on the finish line to win (I'd have to move it a bit). Also would not do as many paths next time since some were not even used, and it is not easy laying-out a track.

Well done Jonny.

[Sparrowhawk]

Congrats Jonny!

Great Game Spaced (though my first, so I lack a frame of reference).

One thing I didn't care for though was the split tracks being for such a major portion of the race, I don't mind the idea of the track splitting, but I would have preferred if it merged again shortly after. After splitting this felt more like a race against gjramsey and Gamecube with the other 3 on their own track (and considering the 3 involved...maybe that was appropriate ), I think I would have liked to see how I was doing against the other racers before the race was a foregone conclusion.

I will be back though.

Eh? My orders were to protest the results of last turn, where Spaced said I crashed but I should have gone to the second space in the first rown of five

Congrats Jonny.

I wish I would have been paying attention to the rules, and never touched my brakes. I might have been able to take you.

But Well DONE>

And yes, the split track did make it feel like seperate races. And due to early lack of exposure, I felt there was really only one way to go since i could see a few turns out.

[Jonny]

Well played everyone.

The race seemed a little bit short, though... but I suppose it's better than 50 turns long. The split track did indeed make the one race feel like multiple seperate races. And I'm not really a big fan of these complex concealed split tracks, as that seems to make the race more dependent on choosing the right track, and not on skill. (Not that it isn't already largely luck-based!)

I suppose I should GM the next one, if no one else wants to...

[duke o' york]

I think that it is more exciting with just one course rather than lots of them.

[gjramsey]

Well done Jonny.

You were headed south. your orders were to move to and then R which put you at your current location, then the 3M took you off the track, only by moving the R to infront of the 2M was I able to keep you on the track.

I might have won if Spaced had allowed me to jump sideways.

He77, If I'd allowed that, I might have won
