Hmmm, if I only hit one sandbag, shouldn't my speed be 10?

Yes, it should. Fixed.

Also you ingnored my AA at the end of the turn, is that not allowed?

No, it is not, same as last game.

Sent, and I wouldlike to send two sets as I am on the road, but I have no idea what the second set will look like (due to sandbags)

Like I said, my lead will whittle away

Sent - also can't send 2 ahead, sadly, but I am on enough to figure it out

Sent.

ACK!

[Sparrowhawk]

Okay, judging by the Sent messages (and Jonny's previous message of sending a Queue) I think that we are either missing Rah and waiting on him, or waiting on vovan to update?

I had worried that by being away I might hold up the game, but I am back now and the game hasn't moved It was a weekend however, so no worries

I don't see rah's orders, and also waiting on a clarification from another driver. Sorry for delays.

Apparently Rah is away (though I haven't seen anything from his to indicate this myself, I saw it posted in another thread by another Apolytoner). Seeing as he is about to enter the sand trap, and headed in the right direction and at max speed, would it be prudent to have him continue on in the direction he is headed?

By the way I think it is funny that Rah is away and about to enter the sand, it seems that given his predisposition towards golf that he is likely dealing with sand while he is away as well

Edit: I am also assuming that Snoopy's means that he is the driver that vovan required clarification from

Turn 8

In the interest of keeping the game rolling, I issued orders for rah here, just having him go straight into the sand alley. Not the very best course of action perhaps, but the most straightforward any way.

Kassiopeia hits only one sandbag and clears the alley.

Spaced Cowboy hits three sandbags and clears the alley as well.

Snoopy maneuvres around the track and hits only one more sandbag before exiting the alley.

Sparrow hits two sandbags on his way through the alley.

Jonny plows straight through the center lane and hits two more sandbags along the way.

With so many people taking the inner lane of the track, it is almost clear of sand now.

Rah hits three sandbags entering the alley. There is an 's' under his car.

Orders for turn 9 are now accepted.

[snoopy369]

Excellent ... orders sent.

Although I'm frankly not sure how any of us are going to catch Kassi, unless the sandbags help us out ... or else perhaps a max speed increase from the pits, but it looks like Kassi can get through this with only 1 WC used ...
