SC's definition of "the lighter side" is dubious at best. /me is last with least speed

What I meant was Rah actually won a toss (or got a good outcome).

Drat:

Ramsey: You put in 10 move and your speed is 9. That means you forgot an A or you put in one too many Ms.

Rah, I will allow the slipstream (interpretation) since your placement was due to a crash, but you are not slipstreaming off the other crashed racer for which I believe the rule was intended.

Yeah, thanks SC, this was not a condition that we have seen before so we haven't had a previous ruling, and since it could go either way, I wanted to leave the decision to you.

Turn 24: "There must be a lot of oil down in Texas"

Both Ramsey and Sparrow found the next oil slick and both got lefts from the coin toss. Both found the wall as well. They just missed crashing into each other.

Jonny, Rah, and Kassi are bringing up the rear and can hopefully avoid the slick.

Damn impossible to make that turn from where i am and where the slick is, this may require some extra thought.

And they didn't take as bad a speed punishement as I got the first time *sigh* my bad luck continues. (no offense Kass )

They did not go into the grass, that is what hurt you.

Yep, it's impossible to make that turn unless you run over the slick. That's making me angry...

Pms are wacky, so I'll state it here.

First I think you meant right when you put left.
Second you cannot have 3 directional or speed changes period. see rule under car options.

I think I am becoming directionally challenged in this race.

so new orders. B(B+1)RRMM with grass also slowing me down one.

Now to pick a nit. If 3 Ls or Rs are not allowed, then why is LMLMRMR or combinations with multiple Ls and Rs been allowed? The original rules for that was for a lane change (i.e. MLRMM), and so far several of us have done commands where the L and the R were not next to each other, so it should possible be considered a direction change, and not a lane change.

Just curious.

	21-01-2005 02:28									#262
	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

In previous games a LR was allowed without using a WC.
LRLR was allowed with the use of a wild card
RRR was never allowed.

The LR combos were allowed so lane changes would work, and we had a discussion on LRLR or LRRL requiring a wild card but allowable and most seemed to agree at the time, and therefore became a standard rule. It was not that way at the beginning of the first race.

Once you allow LRLR it was a short leap of logic to allow movement in between.

	21-01-2005 02:35									#263
	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

My intention was to make it not possible to do more than a 90 degree turn in one turn.

If they are balanced, that is, the amount of L + R, then it does not result in a directional change for the turn as a whole.

Now that I think on it more, I should have capped the lane change to one, maybe that would have made the swaybars less attractive.
