Formula D League Race 2: Sebring

[hentzau]

I honestly cannot believe how far behind I ended up in this game.

[coopasonic]

A blowout is punishing. I tried to move you up a spot by crashing on the last turn, but I missed.

[bb2112]

5th

[Isgrimnur]

Movement roll is 17.

[coopasonic]

Movement roll is 17.

Wooo!

[Isgrimnur]

Who knew the battle for 4th was going to come down to the final turn? While I wanted to run this track to see what would happen on a more wide open course, I'd been a bit disappointed with the lack of any sort of drama late in this lap due to everyone being spread out.

[bb2112]

Movement roll is 17.

Forward 12, left 2, forward the rest

[Isgrimnur]

Done. Sunset Bend 1/2.

hentzau (White 2): gear selection, please.

[hentzau]

4th.

[Isgrimnur]

Movement roll is 7.

[hentzau]

2 right. 5 ahead.

[Isgrimnur]

Done. Cunningham Corner complete.

Isgrimnur (White 1): gear selection is 5th, movement roll is 16. Movement is forward x17. I get second place. More importantly, I actually finished a race.



coopasonic (Yellow 2): gearing up to 4th, movement roll is 7, movement will be forward x8 on a drag race to get to the line.

bb2112 (Yellow 2): gear selection, please.

[coopasonic]

I am pretty sure he said 4th, but too quietly for you to hear.

[bb2112]

Yes, I wrote a post earlier that stated 4th, but it must not have taken.

[Isgrimnur]

Daehawk has been having issues as well.

Movement roll is 12.

[NickAragua]

3rd gear roll when it gets to me.

[bb2112]

Forward 11, 1 brake and 2 tire damage

[Isgrimnur]

Done.

3rd gear roll when it gets to me.

1 Transmission point remaining. Movement roll is 8.

[Isgrimnur]

Paging Nick.

[coopasonic]

Movement choice is irrelevant. There's no way to catch bb and it is trivial to survive the turn and stay ahead of hentzau. Finish order is set.

Not that I am impatient or anything.

[Isgrimnur]

Fair enough. He's got to finish the turn without massively blowing through it. A review of next turn's rolls indicate no chance for failure unless he's suicidal.

We'll call it there, then.

The avatar has powers.

So I forget, are starting positions for the next race based on the previous race or season standings?

[Isgrimnur]

Season standings. You two are too good at the moment to allow you to start anywhere but the back.

[NickAragua]

Sorry, was out with a cold. Definitely agreed that the race outcome was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

[hentzau]

Well, Issy...nowhere to go but up!

[Isgrimnur]

No worries.

Yeah, once I Started looking at it, I realized the game state was set. I try not to spend too much time overanalyzing it as the game goes by.

I think this track is definitely more open and doesn't lend itself to late game position changes as well as some of the more turny tracks.

I definitely want to run another one, however, it might be a bit before I get to it, as I've got to move in the next two months.

[bb2112]

Ugh, moving sucks. Good luck with that. Thanks for running again, had a great time. Cant wait to see what track you pick for next time.

I have moving boxes you can have! They have only been used once and are in great condition. I have 116 of them spread over dishpack/wardrobe/book/and some other size. The downside is that they are currently in SC. But if you can get over that, I have 3 boxes of packing paper too!

[Isgrimnur]

I use plastic buckets. They double as laundry baskets and in-house storage when I'm not moving.

This doesn't help me get rid of 116 boxes. I think you need to reconsider.

[Isgrimnur]

Pull a Hernán Cortés and burn them.

[coopasonic]

The downside is that they are currently in SC.

You can drive it one way in a day.

He should make a weekend road trip out of it then!

[bb2112]

Put 115 of them in one and mail it. Problem solved!
