Now accepting orders for turn5.
TUBER, your second set of orders were flawed also. I corrected them. After this lap, you're on your own.
Spaced hits the first sand trap, but he won't be the last, there are quite a few. More than not. there is a sand trap under car 1,
Only 22 spaces in sand trap alley are not sand out of the 64
Sparrow and VOVAN crash. Sparrow wins the toss, and oil spill under car 3 (tuber, pay attention) After further thought, I have reduced both cars one speed to match max speed.

I have added number to sand trap ally to assist me in racking up all the sandtraps that you will hit. There is a clean path through, Good luck.

ONE LAST RULE > SPECIAL POWERS AND WCs ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE ## PIT MARKERS<
THEY ARE ALLOWED DURING THAT TURN BUT MUST BE PLACED WHERE THEY WON"T OCCUR INSIDE the markers.
I will coach orders in case there is confusion.

Now accepting orders for turn 8.

Great... Just perfect.



Question about going off track... Does the car get reset immediately after going off track? In other words, suppose I go through the oil slick and get a left turn, can I just go straight for two a move after that to get back on track (and incur one damage + one speed reduction) or will my car get immediately reset to the original position, or wherever it is on the track you chose to put it? Also, as far as oil slicks, I don't suppose one can put in alternative orders for different toss outcomes?

EDIT: In fact, for going off track... Can I do something like LRL at the beginning of my order to cut the corner and end up on the track again?

[Sparrowhawk]

Tuberski you want a piece of me too ? Seems everyone else has gone for at least one shot



Orders In!!

Pfft, I resent that remark. Clearly you were at fault in this crash.



EDIT: Also, to follow up on the previous question. If I have speed 10 and give you orders of say (10M), and in the first three moves hit three sandbags, will I (10M) get executed and then my speed reduced to 7, or will (7M) be executed?

Our first crash sparrowhawk and gjramsey. gjramsey, true to his name swerved into a surprized sparrowhawk

Obviously I was not responsible for this first collision

As they fight for the lead Sparrow and Spaced crash. Spaced made a mad dash and rear ended Sparrowhawks car sending it into a spin and narrowly escaped receiving a black flag for his transgression

Again, it was only Spaced's reckless driving that caused this collision.

Sparrow and VOVAN crash. Vovan apparently mistook Sparrowhawks mangled bumper for a target and accelerated into the back end of Sparrowhawks car

A third car taking it out on the kind and gentle Sparrow

Could it be because I am car #3 again? Dale Earnhardt is probably saying the same thing happened to his #3

That was actually just a typo....

ACK!

[Tuberski]

Orders sent.

But need clarification, with swaybars can I make 3 left turns with a wild card?

If not, it's off the track I go.

ACK!

Yup, I fear it's off the track with us, Tuberski, as in the first post rah said:

You still cannot do more than 2 speed changes or 2 directional changes in one turn even with the car options

And it's all Sparrow's fault for stopping abruptly in my way and thus making an oil slick that we have to avoid.

A very inconvenient place that for an oil slick.

[Tuberski]

In that case I should just go through the oil and take my chances.

EDIT: I need 1 more post to gain emperor status, so someone type something I can respond to!!!!!

Nevermind, I got my post.

ACK!

[gjramsey]

I will just stay puttering along back here, and wait for the oil and sand to show themselves.....

sended

[rah]

A sand bag clarification. For each sand bag that you hit, I will remove the last move in your order string and you will be slowed appropriately.
I.E.
ARLMMMRL A turn speed of 7, and you hit two sand bags, Your move will be ARLMMM.

The only exception is when you hit a sandbag on your last movement. Since I can't remove that move (or you wouldn't hit it), I leave you there, but lower your speed.


And yes, a heck of a spot for the oil slick.
And remember there is a special max penalty when leaving the track due to an oil spill. I'll place you in a spot of my choosing that attempts to make sense with what happened. MY JUDGEMENT>

[Kassiopeia]

I am SO going to run out of WCs way before the pit stop

The worst thing is that I knew what you meant to do, which is why i just corrected it without asking for clarification.

[Spaced Cowboy]

First, please tell me that I'm headed North.
Second, can I do an AA even though that takes me over max speed, cuz I'm expecting to hit sandbags (Note: with the amount of bags, I'm not likely to need the answer to this next turn).
