Yeah, SH, I was worried that you might do that, (not much since it would have hurt us both) By taking it wide, you can't slip the next turn, but I'm sure there will be opportunities later.
In your position, I might have been tempted to do the same thing.

Sent, and resent, please use the amended orders. I sent the first one thinking i was headed east already. Quickly modified when I checked and resent.

	Re: FG: Nascar VII - The Race Thread Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

quote: Originally posted by Jonny Rules - pretty much the same from last time, with some minor changes ... ... 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 ... ... *Clarification: RRLL, RLRL, or any combinations of 2 rights and 2 lefts is only 1 WC, not 2. ... ...

I am looking ahead a ways and see an area that I am not sure how it would be resolved...
by the rules above I can use RLRL in one turn and only use up one Wild card, but do these need to be together? Or if you have a speed of say 7, could you RmLmRmL and only use one wild card or do the turns have to be consecutive(?sp)?

Also same question without using a wild card:
You can use a right and a left int he same turn without using a wildcard, but do they need to be consecutive? Or again with a speed of 7, could your orders be: mR(m3)Lm and not use a wild card?


Thanks in advance for the help!

Traditionally they do not have to be together.

And just so you don't feel bad, included in my orders this morning to Jonny was the same question about it only being 1 wc. That's the way it's always been done, but after not knowing the multiple wc rules last game (which cost me the race), I figured I should pay more attention this time. I would prefer that stupidity doesn't cost me another one.

And we both know why that question is asked.

Correct, the RLRL doesn't have to be consecutive for it to only cost 1 WC.

What exactly is "doing a Chaunk"? And why is it forbidden?

A "Chaunk" is the term for a driver driving off the side of a bridge. For obvious reasons, it results in disqualification.

and he did it a couple of races ago (IV perhaps??) as he was far out of the race which was nearly over and wanted to go down in flames I suppose

Edit:
Here it is...Race IV indeed (kinda funny to read the previous posts, as he knew he was out of it and wanted to go out with a bang so to speak

Once again, there were no crashes or other incidents.

On the left track, Spaced, Gambcube, and Ljube are following each other through the outside of the turn. Meanwhile on the right track, rah takes the lead by choosing to accelerate through the serpentine track; but this may eventually prove to be very costly in WC terms.

Now accepting orders for turn 5.

The amazing streak of no crashes has now ended, with half of the racers involved in various incidents. On the left/upper track, Ljube and Gamecube collide. Ljube gets the front spot (randomly selected), and both of their speeds were cut in half. Meanwhile, Spaced avoids the traffic and avoids through the turn.

On the right/lower track, Sparrowhawk runs off the track, confused by the weaving track. (Speed penalty applied.) Duke is now catching up with him, while Rah zooms ahead into the 1st sandbag alley.

The sandbag alley is brutal, though; if the later drivers can go through the field while avoiding the sandbags hit by earlier drivers, they may be able to catch up. This isn't over, not by a long shot.

Now accepting orders for turn 6.

I was sure I checked and double checked so when you said I was confused I went back and checked and checked again...and on what must have been the fourth or fifth time of going over it, I realized where I screwed up, I got the last LR backwards

That may cost me, but the slower speed should at least make it easier to negotiate corners

* Sparrowhawk

Edit: Sent! and a suggestion...any way it could be indicated what path Rah (and anyone coming after him) takes so that you can tell what spots definitely don't have sandbags? Or do each of the racers keep track of that for themselves??

No crashes this turn. It's a good thing.

Rah enters sandtrap alley 1 and hits two sandbags, slowing him down slightly. On the upper track, Spaced Cowboy accelerates towards the alley, with Ljube and Gamecube lagging a bit behind. Sparrowhawk and Duke are still making their way through the serpintine turns on the lower track.

As Duke mentioned in the Mafia thread, he is quitting Nascar due to his connection "difficulties", so I had to make orders up for him this turn. If anyone wants to take his place (until the time when/if duke returns) speak up.

Now accepting turn 7 orders.

We'll keep the goggles on.
No need for PMing this one

We'll let the sand provide the necessary breaking.
