Enjoy your new enemy.


New hands are out.

Hehe, Twitch can't move soon...
Was it 4 or 5 damage when the last panel is locked?

Damage 5-9 lock registers 5->1 in order. Damage 10 makes a fireworks show.

Yeah, you know the answer

Somehow I think there may be two of them out there...

Grundbegriff (Trundle Bot) : 0
mipe (Hulk X-90) : 0
Remus West (Squash Bot) : 0
Shinjin (Twonky) : 1
srdaniel (Spin Bot) : 0
stessier (Twitch) : 4

So card count for hand 3 is Shinjin 8, stessier 5, everyone else 9. Is that correct?

I think srdaniel has either 7 cards or else no cards if he's shutting down this turn. Do you have to be powered up to receive an option card on a double-wrench?

Correct, I made an error in the card counts, but corrected before I sent them out. srdaniel will not receive his cards before making his decision.

mipe (Hulk X-90) : 0
Remus West (Squash Bot) : 0
Shinjin (Twonky) : 1
srdaniel (Spin Bot) : 2 (if active)
stessier (Twitch) : 4

You must end an active turn on the double wrench to receive an option. No sleeping on the job to get a reward.

I am not shutting down. I'll take the seven cards please.

Cards have been sent to all.

Anyone play any of the online versions linked at http://www.roborally.com/links.htm" target="_blank?

I haven't looked into any of them yet.

I couldn't remember if flag touching only happens at the end of the turn or end of phase. Looking over the linked manual, it sounds like end of phase. So stessier (Twitch) is now heading for Flag 2, right?

I sure hope so.

Yeah, flags are registered at end of phase. Twitch is good to limp his way to flag 2.

Before I forget, I'm going to be shut down next turn.

Can we have the "current state" of the board image on the first page? After each turn, update that image so we don't have to hunt for an image of the current state.

I may be the first to die but I doubt I'll be the last. I didn't think 7 cards would be that bad, I think I should have shut down instead. Oh well, maybe I'll play spinbot as the bot that doesn't shut off.

Yeah, I can update the OP with the end of turn boards.

Also, I need to work on a list of assumptions that I'm going to adhere to in order to keep things running in a quick manner.

Are you going to play a turn in advance if everyone gets their moves in ahead of time?

Just thinking that might speed things up a bit as well, assuming people get them. The next turn could always be 2-3 days from the time the last one was processed.

Just thinking

Yeah. I've still got one hand I need back. If I get that back this afternoon, I can go ahead and run it this evening.

Sorry.

Putting together now.

No pressure.

They're all in, turn will run tonight.

Awwww, whatsa matter? You don't like the idea of having some of your registers locked?

Here's hoping someone tractor beams you into a pit.

Can't even take care of your own fight? Geez, you'd think a little wienie like you would have stayed out of the rally.

I hope you have a sturdy keyboard. That usually means 8pm.

I have a shirt for you to buy.

Damage and Scoreboard would probably be a good addition to the OP as well.

DAMAGE COUNT! Looking at the scoreboard in the first quarter is a good way to get booted in the ass for the next three.

How would a Lion's fan have any frame of reference to make this comment???

It would be nice if the score board had human names and robot names listed...

The official tote board will. I ran a quick and dirty one from work.
