FG: NASCAR VIII: NFS Underground II Edition

[Spaced Cowboy]

Hmm.... I do not have Kassi's orders???? Did I delete too many pms?

[Kassiopeia]

I'll have them coming soon.

[Kassiopeia]

And there.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Turn 14: "Fly like a ferret!"

Rah Makes the jump! and lands on the end ramp with a little tricky driving.

Both Kassi and Ramsey hit the last sandbag before the jump on the top path (What looks easier will probably not be). Kassi is not going to make the jump.

Sparrow is sitting on the other Ramp primed for flight, and Jonny is setting himself up for next turn, although it looks like he forgot about the sand bag that Sparrow was sitting on.

RULE CHANGE: If you make it more than half way over the jump, you start on the end of the ramp next turn and speed will be halved. If you do not make it half way, you will start at the end of the ramp with speed of 1. All out zero speed penalty seems too brutal for a close race.

Nice compromise on the jump rule. I like it.
How about the map

[Kassiopeia]

I couldn't have made the jump from the lower ramp, IIRC, not enough speed, so I was hosed regardless. What kind of an inane track designer puts sandbags right before a jump, we have each other to dodge too

[rah]

Yes, a two wide sandbag alley leading to jumps is cruel, but it is exciting. It's nice to have variety in the types of tracks we run. And we've certainly had that.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Whoops on the map, I knew I forgot something.

I actually had two sandbags in front of that ramp, but I took one away....seemed a little harsh.

Also I wanted a track where a percentage of folks did not make it across the jumps, else why have them.

This track is harder than most I would assume, but my last few were way too easy, so I've probably swung too hard to the other direction.

Hmm...maybe I miscounted....looks like Kassi will make it. Maybe I should have left that double sandbag there.

[rah]

Yeah, After I though my first track was too short, I made my second track a little longer fondly refered to as the never ending torture track.

[gjramsey]

sent.

spaced is crazy....no I'm not...you're freaking insane man....no way dude....muwhahahaha!

[Kassiopeia]

What happens if ramsey ends his turn on the opposite ramp and I careen into him as I jump myself? A crash and we both end up on the opposite end of the jump?

[gjramsey]

Add wings to your car and change lanes in mid-air?

[Kassiopeia]

Maybe I could just shift my body weight to the other side of the car? Or blow to the opposite direction? Or take off my shirt and use it as a sail?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, I see your point. Ramps will be crash free zones. Two or more cars can occupy the same spot on ramps only.

Unless someone has issues with this.
