Oh, oops, my bad. You are right, rah. alva cannot ram you. He is two dots behind and his speed is one. So fastest he could get up to is speed to, which means he will be right behind you. But he can ram you next turn, where you can only travel at best two dots, but he can travel three, ending up on the same line as you.

mrmitchell could do it... Skanky needs to break for the next turn, or he goes off, whereas mrmitchell can accelerate and go through the turn at a higher speed.

EDIT: Bah! Don't listen to me! If mrmitchell accelerates into the turn, he'll ram Skanky all the way off the track.

Then he probably should. He'll be in the lead, and Skanky will be offroad.

But then your speed will be 1 with Vovan right behind you to do the same to you. Or to overtake you.

Yeah, sorry about the delay. The turn is now finished.

As easy as it is to eliminate Skanky, I'm weighing that heavily against my speed being reduced to 1.

I'll post my orders tomorrow, after I have meditated upon it.

Let's think up a better strategy.

How about we drive really fast and try not to hit anything and watch Skanky to see where the bends are?

BTW, how many laps are we taking, and how long is this course?

That will definitely affect the strategic value of letting BLAME HIM around as vision on some extra lines.

Just waiting for you now, mm.

As far as the length of the track goes... As I said above somewhere, the track is fifty lines long... I was planning for three laps, but it might take a little too long. So, I was wondering what people thought about that. Maybe we should consult when (if?) Skanky crosses the finish line next.

Right. No change in speed.
