Robo Rally S2 [Turn 4]

[xRECKONERx]

Reck, I suggest you move as quickly as you can, because I'm backing right up. Let's not get in each other's way.

hmmmmmmm

[StrangerCoug]

Bump.

[Cybele]

???

[JDGA]

I'm working on it, but I haven't yet gotten down to the workflow I had last game, and it's not like Wheel where it takes 30 seconds to update
You'll get it today.

[JDGA]

[StrangerCoug]

I wanted to power on after this turn anyway.

[KingdomAces]

Ow, there goes my streak of never being interfered with.

Oh well, that just means that I have the normal starting number of movement cards instead of one extra.

[Cybele]

I was expecting someone to mess me up.

[JDGA]

Oh, right, I'm not getting a PM this round because I'm powered down. I can stop worrying and go sleep now. (Why was that not obvious)

[Cybele]

I think PMs actually haven't gone out for anyone yet.

The robots are antsy to get going to catch up with those that have gotten the first flag.
Meanwhile, masterful work with using the Maelstrom to his advantage means

xRECKONERx may get flag 2 sooner than expected!

Just a few short days to find out! Turn 4 beckons!

A note from the MC:

As everyone's in close quarters, it may be useful to know the highest priority for each move type.
Here are the highest move cards of each type:

[Cybele]

I'm coming for you, Reck.

[KingdomAces]

Are you?

[xRECKONERx]

cybele pls

[Cybele]

no

[xRECKONERx]

I MOVED OUT OF THE WAY FOR YOU AND EVERYTHING!

[Cybele]

You're gonna want to keep moving. Make the chase fun.

[KingdomAces]

Are you ignoring me on purpose?

[Cybele]

Not really. What's up?

[KingdomAces]

I'm very clearly in third place here, and you two are making it seem like you're the only ones that matter.

[xRECKONERx]

Saucy.

[Cybele]

Not really. I'm just engaged in trying to catch the guy ahead of me, so that's what I'm focusing on. If it means anything, I've taken the time to consider the possibility of you messing with me, but right now, the most damage you could likely do is negligible unless you mess up your own turn to do so. I accounted for that, and planned accordingly.
And no offense, but I'm not going to tease someone who's behind me unless I have no one ahead of me. I'm a forward-looking sort of bot.

[Cheery Dog]

I'm very clearly in third place here, and you two are making it seem like you're the only ones that matter.

You've got whoever comes up in 4th to worry about.

There's probably 3 or 4 of us that may or may not be able to get to the first checkpoint this round. If i don't get interfered with (I think I'm likely to via radio control though), I'm going to be attempting to get on there again. I would have last time if JDGA hadn't pushed me, and would have caused a second robot death
