Suffering from ads?

Certainly. Basically, you must hit two banked curves in a row, and after that your car gets turned right by one. This only works once, however, so hitting say two more banked curves in the same turn would not do anything.

So, suppose you put in the following orders:

ALMR(2M)(R+1)(4M)

After you turn left, your first M order puts you on the first banked curve. Then, the R order turns you back north and puts you on the second banked curve. Here now, the effect of the banked curves comes in, and your direction of movement changes to NE. Now you move by two more tiles, hitting two more banked curves in a row, but nothing happens as you have already used up teh banked curve bonus this turn, ao you must turn right once more to not go off track. So, your movement this turn would look like this: (showing where each move order takes you)

code:
bb************ MRMMMM********* M*************** R** M** bL* *A* ***

So if issued the command A(m5)R(M4)

Yes. The banked curve does not actually perform an R order for you - that is, it only changes the direction the car is moving in, but doesn't actually move the car forward by one square in the specified direction.

Well, it's getting late at night, so no play-by-play commentary. But yeah, two crashes. The one on the banked curve does not produce any oil as it slips down the slope. The one on the exit of the turn does produce an oil slick however.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Order for this turn and next turn sent. Vovan, the order I sent for 2 turns from now is slightly off, so i'll resend when we get that far.

Thursday btw is the last day before my vacation. I will still have access to the internet, but not as regular, so i might be slower posting turns; assuming the road stays crash-free, i'll try to post many turns in advance.

Orders sent.

Looks like only Drogue and Kassiopeia have avoided crashing so far. I wonder if it would be easier to convince Drogue to hit Kassi or Kassi to hit Drogue ?
