I'm a recent transplant. The environment hasn't had time to take its effects yet. Nor do I eat at Olive Garden at anything remotely approaching a weekly basis.

Moving to host Phase 1 boards now.

Twitch had seriously decided to off himself. Twonky took inspiration from The Fray, e.g. "How to Save a Life"

See, Twitch, Twonky cares. He really cares. Of course he is also the guy who pulled you into a pit earlier so I guess he cares that the only one who gets to kill you is him, but at least he cares.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:20 pm

I'm looking forward to a nice set of cards so that I can continue my good works.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:21 pm

Cards are out. I'm going to run Saturday.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:45 pm

I think I'll let my turret drift lazily forward.

mipe · Post by **mipe** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 1:55 am

Ugh... Every turn, I either get movements only, or turns only...

Well, the plan was to be in position to shoot you in the back after reappearing on my archive spot, but since that didn't work, it looks like you win. It's all Twonky's fault.

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 10:30 am

I saw the note about playing for second place in the waiting list thread. I don't know if I'm up for that. My strategy would have been different (and I think Twonky's would have too) had there been an option other than winning it all. Granted, Twonky ruined my strategy, but still.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 12:03 pm

Yeah, but it's a race! It's not over until everyone's off the track!

I'll leave it up to you guys when the time comes. If there's a consensus either way, I'll go with that.

Also, I'm looking at about a month break after we end this one and running again.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:21 pm

If anyone wants to start circling Squash Bot's archive location, I'll see what I can do...

Pfft - I have turbo power but was only dealt Move 1's. Remus must have pics of Isgrimnur or something.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.

They are the same picture I have of you since they were taken of the night you guys shared in Vegas. Or have I said to much.

Just reliving a classic Something Positive comic.

Do NOT go there if you're sensitive about ... well, anything.

Squash Bot (Remus West) wins the inaugural Robo Rally!!!

Woot!!
Good game everyone. I got real lucky with twitch and twonky beating the crap out of each other around flag 3 while I sqeaked through there. Thanks for running this Isgrimnur, I had a blast.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:52 pm

Good game, Remus. Thanks Isgrimnur!

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 11:10 pm

Glad you enjoyed it. The consensus seems to be to end it here.

You will all have right of first refusal for my next run. Early indications are for mid-January.

mipe · Post by **mipe** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:05 am

could we please play one more hand of this so I aren't the last person... I Would get to Flag 2!!!

Oh, and Isgrimnur: If you will have the NW board on the next race too, I will kill you.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:25 am

Technically, you're in 5th.

That NW board was all about flag positioning. Besides, next time is going to be harder...

I'm thinking about a five board, four flag setup in a cross pattern in a spirit of figure-8 track racing. That way no matter who is ahead, you have to come back across everybody else to get to the next flag.

I plan on using this one...
