FG: NASCAR VIII: NFS Underground II Edition

Turn 9: "We don't need no stickin crashes!"

I'm amazed that there were none this time. Are you sure that you guys aren't doing some IRC behind me back?

Everybody is bunched up and heading for the first 180. I interpreted Sparrow's orders and he wanted to go straight ahead. Unfortunately, there were two more sand bags behind the first one that was previously discovered by....uh....Kassi.

Hopefully, Sparrow will be able to give his own orders from here on.

Oh, also interpreted Ramsey's last R as a L.... I'm sure he did not want to turn in the opposite direction of the turn. I really do not want to make interpretations again, so be careful folks.

I'd be real surprised if there wasn't at least one accident on T10.

[gjramsey]

oops....who replaced the R and L on my keyboard....

orders sent

[rah]

Sent, as long as my move describes what I wanted to do

[Kassiopeia]

Sent, with crossed fingers.

[Jonny]

Sent.

[Sparrowhawk]

Okay, back home now and sending my own orders again (those straight ahead were simple......though I might have driven around Kassiopeia's sandbags, it worked out ok for me I think).

Since it looks like I am last...BML(M2)L

Thanks,

You should have had no idea that there were more SBs after the one that you were on. Trust me, a lot of other...more nasty...things could have happened.

I'm doing the update now.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Need clarification from Ramsey, his orders were hosed again.

[gjramsey]

clarification sent. I hope

Turn 10: "Rah takes the lead."

A slick little move through the grass and Rah slides into the lead. Ramsey falls to second, but only by a hair.

Jonny and Kassi both swing wide in the turn to avoid a crash, unfortunately with both of them doing that, well...crash!

Kassi wins the toss as I can't seem to find my quarter and had to use a nickle.

Sparrow slips by the crashed racers on the middle of the track. I'm no strategy expert, but to me it looks like Sparrow missed a golden opportunity to use the A at the end of his turn.

Oh and a retraction on my part. Ramsey's orders were good as gold.

My bad, I thought I recalled from a previous game that you weren't allowed to use an A at the end of your turn. A mistake I won't make again . (But I am no strategy expert either )

By the way, while I haven't sent orders yet, I will be momentarily

Last game that was a no-no. The NFSU2 version does not have that restriction, perhaps one should reread the rules, cuz I did change them.

[Sparrowhawk]

Oops, ok my bad x2. I did reread the rules at the start of this game but I guess I missed the part about allowing A at the end of a turn again . Guess I focused too much on the other new aspects and missed that one .

Not a big deal though, the ram and the rah still better watch their bhawks.

Good thing someone mentioned that a at the end of the turn. I forgot that it was legal since it hasn't been in some games.
And to think my goal was not to be in first place at the start of sand bag alley. hahahahahaha
