Spaced question about multiple bombs didn't scare anybody into too strange of orders.

Jeff cruises into sand trap alley and hits 2 out of 3, it's clear under him.
Butch tries next and also hits 2 out of 3 but pulls even due to the clear space
prior . The space under him is sandy.
Both reduced to 11
Druggie hoping for better luck along with Cowboy and Snoop, but they will
probably use a different path.
Jonny Does a little payback on Kass, and Kass obliges him by hitting it.
I suggest you guys save yours for the leaders for now.
They're just hoping they'll see a better way though HEAVILY sand trapped alley.


*************NEW RULE CHANGE************
EFFECTIVE as soon as you pass the ====== at the END of sand trap alley.
The extra speed generated from an S command (+1) can be used even if it exceeds
your max speed. If it does exceed your max, your end speed will show as your
normal max again and you not have to brake to start the next turn. If it
doesn't exceed your max, it will be added to your end speed (just like it does now)


Now accepting orders for turn 10.

Jeff tries to shake it up and hit's 6 bags, reduced to speed 6. Bad choices
Sand under his car.
Butch tries to shake it up also and hit's 5 bags, reduced to speed 7.
Bad choice but not as bad as jeff as he takes the lead. It is clear under his car.
Druggie does a little better and hits only 4. It is clear under his car.
Note he never got to the L order so he is still heading NE
Cowboy hit's five and there is sand under his car.
Snoop tries to barrel through and hits only 4. It is clear under his car.

John and Kass approach and hopefully have learned something. (besides sand trap
alley is a pain in the ass.) If they do, they shouldn't fall farther behind and may
be able to get back into it. There is a way through.

And I am thrilled to see that none tried to put an A at the end of their turn.

Cut me some slack.
30 minutes after the last order is submitted isn't bad.
Especially with almost all in the alley.
I can't do everyone else's move early due to possible spam bombs.
I think we're moving along quite well
(despite almost ready to be executed in the mafia game )

[Drogue]

No, you're doing great the W00t was just to signify my delight at another turn before I leave work

[Kassiopeia]

The turnaround is way below 24 hrs, it's very impressive. My speed should be 10, btw.
