How about making the next formula game be like this:

Half the players drives one way, while the other half drives 'down' the map... if two players who's driving opposite direction crash into each-other, they're both out...
When a player reaches goal, he just turns around, and goes 'backwards'

Alva is in front and Jonny is now behind. There is now an oil slick under the 2 car which will show once they have moved. New speed Alva 1 Jonny 1.

4. Skanky Burns 5,3 *
5. Jonny 1,4 *

7. ADG 3,3 *
8. DrSpike 3,5 *

This will hurt both both cars, so the ref deems it non-intentional.

The first major turn has really caused some problems. Fore-shadowing of things to come. THE CROWD has got their money's worth today>

Hmm, still 12 rows of straight after that bad curve, which hasn't changed since turn 5.

I expose extra track as I see fit. (another way of saying when I remember to do it) More will be exposed after the next turn. I'm starting to realize that I made the track too long, and this race is going to take awhile.

I think my speed should be 3. Can you confirm this and whether my car (8) should be one line higher?

Tired of ads?

Same as always, IIRC. You are still moving, so can be moved left or right. In otherwords, you need to use a wildcard and risk hitting Johnny or risk going off the track to escape

So I have a 50-50% chance of moving right or left, or a 33% chance of moving right, center, or left?

I thought Rah said he was going to change the way oil-slicks are handled. Best to let him specify what the chances are.

Rah,

Can you clarify the rules please.

What happens if I end my turn on an oilslick?

If it still moves me one forward, do I have a 50-50% chance of moving right or left, or a 33% chance of moving right, center, or left?

Reiterating what was posted as the rules on the first page

quote:

Oil spots, random left or right 1-3 spaces, speed reduced in half. (unless you leave the track)

If you go off the road. 1-2 spaces. reduced to speed 0.
If you go off the road 3+ spaces. reduced to speed 0 and lose a turn.
You will be placed back on the track where you last exited, (my judgement)

Until now, I just though I was particularly bad at running these games, several rounds having someone's speed incorrect or whatever. Glad to see others make mistakes too.
