A question about ramps - if your speed would allow you to jump over, but because of the way the turn are set up you spend some time in the air, do you crash or make it over?

I do not understand the question. You are over if you are over. If you crash into a wall, ditto.

That is the idea with the ramps. If you don't make it in one turn, you will crash. You are placed at the end of the jump on the ramp for next turn with a speed reduction yet to be determined.

Turn 3: "GC is Lysdexic"

Again GC tries to give R's instead of L's, hopefully I won't get L's on the next turn instead of R's, but he does execute the first slipstream of the game...and no crashes this turn....good driving all.

This being Friday, weekend rules are in effect, with the Monday holiday, no orders due until Tues. If everyone has them in before then, I'll process.

Nice to see our newest racer getting into the proper spirit. And actually I'm praying not to hit GQ. It would really hurt both our chances.

Rah, please pm your orders, you may only post them if you are the last one. Trying to figure out what the other guy is going to do is half the fun here, you are breaking that somewhat, or I let everybody post here and we get no crashes.

But why would you crash, if you were in the air? You would make it in one turn, if the turns were at the right time. If you're going speed four, enough to get over the ramp, why should you get over it only some of the time?

Will do. I was having problems with my PMs the last couple of days and everything wasn't getting through.
I've cleaned out a lot of old stuff and had a few changes made. It should be working now.

Kuci,

That again is the idea with the ramps, it is the timing and speed that are important. They are not rl ramps, they are a game piece, that is close to a ramp in rl.

If you don't crash "in the air" then the ramps and jumps are nothing more than pretty pictures and are no different from the rest of the track.

Rah, thanks for understanding on that one. I know that it can be frustrating when someone keeps hitting you, but that is part of this baby.

He sent in a queue, give me a minute and I'll post the turn. I was working on the galatic overlord turn and cleaning up my pm's so you don't get that nasty pm box full thingie..

Turn 4: "Dood, I was like airborne there for a second or something."

Gamecube64, Rah, and Sparrowhawk all get their fly on and make the first jump. Again no crashes thanks to someones public orders. And the racers are pretty close as they come up to the track splits....Muhahahwha...pick a track any track!

I had to change Duke's queue a bit, he was trying to drive off the track...but he's a noob at this so I'm try to not penalize for stupid orders, but that requires that I do a little too much mindreading.

Weekend rules are in effect, but again, if I see that everyone is in, I'll post the results early.

Turn 5: "Speed Kills"

Rah steps on the accelerator and stays in the lead, especially since Gamecube64 and Sparrowhawk had a little incident behind him. Gamecube64's original orders were to drive straight into the wall, so I made a slight change to them on what I thought he wanted to do. I did not penalize Sparrowhawk as much as I normally would for a crash as a result. Gamecube64 gets the full penalty.

If anyone disagress with my intepretation of Gamecube64's orders, I will execute them as sent and modify the turn. I'm also thinking of adding a secret wall to thetrack that only Rah can hit.

code:

******        ****> >*2**
   ****      *****>  >*5**

Can I just check the rules again please?
If I were to go forward one at the start of my next turn, would that put me where Jonny currently is, or would it put me one square to the right of him (as I look at the track on the screen)?
