Formula De Shanghai Lap 2(random's turn)

[Mauthe]

Is that the best map we have to go with? I'll probably qualify tonight or tomorrow.

[Mauthe]

Yeah that ones perfect. Thanks!

[Mauthe]

Reporting a score of 23+0

[Mauthe]

Yeah, I've completed a lap on the Melbourne track.

EDIT: actually two, I guess

[Mauthe]

Nope! Since signing up to play this, I've tried a couple times, but never got a chance.

[Mauthe]

Also checked Mauthe's route, no mistakes, but geez all those potential overshoots.

Gotta take risks to succeed, baby!

[Mauthe]

Best case scenario you overshoot by 2... Ow

[Mauthe]

Compound: Hard
Tires: 7
Brakes: 3
Gearbox: 3
Bodywork: 2
Engine: 3
Suspension: 2

[Mauthe]

We're waiting on weather too, but that should wait until we get randomidget's config.

[Mauthe]

Yeah rain tires pls
1st gear of course:

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Mauthe]

Straight 1

[Mauthe]

2nd gear

Original Roll String: 1d3+1

1 3-Sided Dice: (1)+1 = 2

[Mauthe]

2 straight. Boo slow start.

[Mauthe]

3rd

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

1 5-Sided Dice: (1)+3 = 4

[Mauthe]

5 straight.

[Mauthe]

Gross.

[Mauthe]

Four straight. The rest is for center lane.

I assume I would move 1 space for rain tire.

Yeah, that'll work out to be a move of 4 straight, 1 left, 4 straight.
And now it's my turn to mess up this corner of doom:
3rd gear

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

1 5-Sided Dice: (3)+3 = 6

[Mauthe]

5 straight, 1 right, 2 straight
collision realeo/mauthe

Original Roll String: 2d20

2 20-Sided Dice: (10, 3) = 13

[Mauthe]

that's 3rd gear. here is 4th:

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1)+6 = 7

[Mauthe]

@randomidget, you can only go straight until you run into inspiratieloos, in 8 spaces. Since you're also entering the curve, you'll have 2 spaces left to move. You can either brake or go around him somehow. How would you like to proceed?

[Mauthe]

2nd

Original Roll String: 1d3+1

1 3-Sided Dice: (2)+1 = 3

[Mauthe]

Straight 4

[Mauthe]

Uh, that's only 5. You rolled a six, and also you have to move one extra because of the rain, so you have 2 more to move (unless you want to burn brakes).

[Mauthe]

This first corner is rough

[Mauthe]

I think in the interest of mercy we let him have the rain tires because dear god in heaven there is no way he meant to race in the rain with hard tires, is there?

[Mauthe]

There's literally no benefit and a huge penalty to using hard tires though?

[Mauthe]

inspir hasn't actually moved yet.

[Mauthe]

And also you're after me?

[Mauthe]

3rd

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

1 5-Sided Dice: (1)+3 = 4

[Mauthe]

straight 5.
collision rolls:
realeo/mauthe/inspir/mauthe

Original Roll String: 4d20

4 20-Sided Dice: (12, 17, 17, 15) = 61

[Mauthe]

omfg

[Mauthe]

Inspir and me are out. The corner of death claims two lives.

[Mauthe]

Yeah. First Realeo takes one, then inspir does, and he's out, and then I do because I caused inspir to be out. Which takes me out too.

[Mauthe]

I think that map is very wrong. at least its very different to what I had drawn up for myself when I did my turn.

[Mauthe]

Since I'm the one complaining, I can do it. It only takes awhile and I'm in the middle of some things anyways (and it's not like I have turns to take).

[Mauthe]

So I replotted everthing from the start of the map, and here's what I've found:
In post #88, Realeo has been placed 1 space further ahead than he should have been, giving him the lead on his next turn when he shouldn't have it yet.
In post #125, TiaM has been placed 1 space further behind than he should have been.
Once we get into the corner, because of the transposed space a number of illegal moves are made so at this point I realize that it's pointless to document it. In particularly, if Realeo had been accurately placed, I would have ended one of my moves in the same square as he was in (although technically, I would have taken my move first? It's all pointless by now because once we accepted the position, that's where we are.
So anyways, I scrapped the 'from the start' move counting, and just went by last shown mapped positions in post #172, hoping that that's relatively accurate to go by:

[Mauthe]

The above picture is my version of post #219, basically. I used white for TiaM because the blue blends in too much.
Random is way off. For one, you said he was gonna be pushed forward 4 spaces, but then I guess forgot to do so? But even with that, I don't know how you have his position as being in the outside lane. By the way, this is part of why I didn't like the pushing him all at once because with that plan, you forced him to overshoot a ton.
You have my position wrong, as well, which means so is the damaged square.

All in all, it wasn't as bad as I remember, but there are still 2 big errors. And that's ignoring the others that have accumulated over the turns.

[Mauthe]

Yeah, I mean it's not a big deal aside from my own anal-retentiveness. Sorry, I'll try not to sweat stuff like this too much, it's just in my nature to want to be exacting over things, even when it's a game. There's actually a pretty good comic panel that I have saved for situations like this.


EDIT: this post in response to #242

[Mauthe]

Im cool to start a 3rd race and I was asked about modding it, which i can also do if thats still requested of me
