FG: Nascar VII - The Race Thread Increase Your PM Length

Rules - pretty much the same from last time, with some minor changes

The game is turn-based. Each of the two drivers issues two orders for each turn. Possible orders are as follows:

1. Change speed:
a. Accelerate - add one to speed
b. Decelerate - subtract one from speed
c. Slipstream - If you start a turn directly behind another player (must both be moving in the same direction.) You can call a "S" command at the beginning of your turn, and it will act as a free "A". (this can not be used if your placement was due to a crash)
d. Don't change speed

2. Steer:
a. Left (45 degree direction change)
b. Right (45 degree direction change)
c. Left-Right, Right-Left (lane changes)
d. Don't change direction

*Each player also can use wildcards during their turn, doubling their change in speed or doubling their turn rate. Multiple wildcards can be used in a single round.
*Clarification: RRLL, RLRL, or any combinations of 2 rights and 2 lefts is only 1 WC, not 2.
*Only two wildcards for a direction or speed on any turn.
accel 2 and right 2 are allowed in the same turn, but accel 3 or right 3 are not allowed.


* Steering can now be controlled much finer.
Turning (moving to the left or right) will always move you forward 1 square, but you can now influence when this move takes place.

A complete order may look like this: (current speed of 4, North)
"(2m)r(m)r"
This will move the car North twice, once to the right (Northeast), once more to the Northeast and then due East once, and uses up one wildcard. Example:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
..45
.3..
2...
1...
Y...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In an attempt to keep the race closer, the following penalties have been modified.

Crashes/off track
Crashes will mean -3 speed
and driving off the track 1 square -2 speed
2 squares -3 speed
3 squares- reduction to 0
Doing a Chaunk will get you style points but will probably result in a DQ

Any seemingly intentional off track - reduction to 0
And anything really funny will cause a missed turn.

Specials
Sand bags: Hitting a hidden sandbag will be a speed -1 penalty.
Jumps: Jumps are designated by V, <, and >. Each jump has a take-off and a landing ramp. If you do not make it over the jump in one turn (land on the landing ramp at least), then you are considered crashed, speed will be reduced, and you'll be placed on the landing ramp for the next turn.

...

Racers:
1. rah
2. Spaced Cowboy
3. Sparrowhawk
4. Gamecube64
5. Ljube-ljcvetko
6. duke o' york


And the track...

code:

Just one clarification. Is this an unlimited WC use game or just one for each direction or speed?

Jonny addressed that in the Sign up thread:

but Spaced requested clarification...

Not sure which is the correct interpretation, but clearly we are limited to 2 Wildcards per turn, just not sure how free we are to use those Wildcards.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Concerning WCs: What I meant to say was that you may use up to 2 WCs for direction and/or up to 2 WCs for speed. So, you may possibly use up to 4 total WCs in a turn, but only two in each category.

All orders are in, now processing...

4 Gamecube64 5 8 S A(m5)
5 Ljube-ljcvetko 5 8 SE A(3M)LM
6 duke o' york 5 8 S (A)MMMM



The race gets off to a good start. Amazingly, all of the cars managed to avoid each other as the track narrowed. This was the result of both rah and Spaced wisely deciding to use a WC. They now have a slight lead as the racers head towards the first split, but will the drivers behind them attempt to slipstream in order to catch up?

Note(s) regarding orders:
Duke's orders were (A)MMMM. I just assumed that he left off an M.

Now accepting turn 2 orders.

Looking at rah's start position, it was expected. I would have done the same thing. So I calculated I'd be just behind rah if he did what I considered the best move for him. And he did just that

4 Gamecube64 6 8 S S(M6)
5 Ljube-ljcvetko 5 8 S R4M
6 duke o' york 6 8 S (A)MMMMMM



Amazingly, there were (almost) no collisions on this turn, as everyone successfully merged into the lane of their choice. Three racers are lined up to take the right path, and the other three are intending to take the left path.

Spaced's orders were A(M6)RB, which would result in him doing a Chaunk(tm) and being disqualified; however, I dont want to DQ anyone this early in the race because of carelessness (I think it can be assumed that he thought he was headed S, not SE), so I'm moving him AR(M6)B instead. But this is his one and only mulligan for this race...

Now accepting turn 3 orders.

4 Gamecube64 5 8 SW BMR(M3)
5 Ljube-ljcvetko 5 8 SW (2M)R(2M)
6 duke o' york 6 8 S (M6)



As the racers enter the first sharp turns, they start to bunch up as they slow down. On the right track, rah takes the inside of the turn to squeeze past Sparrowhawk, while Duke remains cautiously behind. On the left track, all three racers are quite close together entering the hairpin.

Note: Spaced was not allowed to ammend his orders.

Now accepting turn 4 orders!

Edit: confused E and W for some people on the table.

Sent, and I was pretty sure if I used both Slipstream and Accelerate that I would hit Rah as his square is the obvious choice, so I opted to take the corner wide (though I could have stayed behind him without slipstream, not sure which was the better option in hindsight).
