Formula De Melbourne Finished (Cheery Dog wins)

[Mauthe]

I did really well for a first try.

Spoiler: qualifying time: 16 rolls

[Mauthe]

Yeah, sorry. I was unsure where to place the last marker since it blasted right past the finish line.

[Mauthe]

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

soft tires.

[Mauthe]

Mauthe: 16
inspiratieloos: 19 (17+2)
Cheery Dog: 20 (18+2)
TwoInAMillion: 22 (18+4) ((you overshot a turn by 2 with soft tires, and all penalties are doubled with those))
Realeo: 23 (18+5) ((going by inspiratieloos' count))

Basically just pulling from the last couple posts in the qualifying threads. I haven't closely double-checked the rolls because it's my understanding that inspiratieloos is largely doing that.

[Mauthe]

In regards to teams: I'm okay with either randomly sorted teams of 2 or no teams.
Sticking with my soft tires.

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[Mauthe]

straight 1

[Mauthe]

I really doubt fast play is going to happen.

[Mauthe]

Ah shit, I forgot I had soft tires. In case it's not too late, I'd obviously like my optional +1

[Mauthe]

[Mauthe]

Just checked and Realeo's correct.

[Mauthe]

2nd gear

Original Roll String: 1d3+1

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

[Mauthe]

Straight 5 (+1 w/ soft)

[Mauthe]

Ugh i just realized how dumb it was to have an odd value for tires if I'm using softs.

[Mauthe]

But that single point is unspendable and generally worth half as much as if i slotted it into brakes. Oh well, its not that bad lol

[Mauthe]

dont make me make you eat those words buddy

[Mauthe]

randomidget?

[Mauthe]

3rd gear

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

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

[Mauthe]

9 straight.

[Mauthe]

It definitely doesn't.

[Mauthe]

And Cheery is blocking you in that spot.

[Mauthe]

Ill post how i see the map when i get home. Best i can do.

[Mauthe]

Go nine,

following the blue coloured squares

to the last spot in the corner.
And then whatever collision test is required there.

This is the current position of each car before TiaM's turn, as I can tell. Unless I'm mistaken, and you're switching lanes, you're being blocked by Cheery.

[Mauthe]

I'll go ahead and roll the collision dice for Cheery, unless anyone objects:
Inspiratieloos, Cheery Dog

Original Roll String: 2d20

2 20-Sided Dice: (14, 12) = 26

And then it's randomidget's turn.

[Mauthe]

Okay, cool. That was probably in the other thread with the first race? No offense, but I wasn't gonna read twenty pages of rolling.

[Mauthe]

4th gear:

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5)+6 = 11

[Mauthe]

10 straight, not using my soft tire bonus.
1/2

I'll do a rough map in a minute.

[Mauthe]

I think Realeo and randomidget need to roll collision?

randomidget, Realeo

Original Roll String: 2d20

2 20-Sided Dice: (8, 5) = 13

[Mauthe]

this round's turn order:
Mauthe (done!)
Cheery Dog
inspiratieloos
TwoinaMillion
Realeo
randomidget

[Mauthe]

[Mauthe]

I can attest to having seen you roll the nine

[Mauthe]

Also, as a note: never delete or edit out your rolls in this game. If you accidentally go out of order, we can have you reroll or whatever later if needed. Not accusing you of anything but the further we get from having to worry about losing evidence of what happened in the game, the better.

[Mauthe]

randomidget's turn.
Then we start round 5. Turn order will be
Mauthe
Cheery Dog
inspiratieloos
TwoInAMillion
[[either Realeo or randomidget, this depends on the next turn]]

[Mauthe]

Shifting down to third

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

1 5-Sided Dice: (4)+3 = 7

[Mauthe]

Adding my soft tire +1, going straight 5
2/2

[Mauthe]

turn order
Mauthe (done!)
Cheery Dog
inspiratieloos
TwoInAMillion
Realeo
randomidget

[Mauthe]

Realeo is next, followed by randomidget.

[Mauthe]

Randomidget:

Original Roll String: 1d6+6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (3)+6 = 9

Realeo: Gear 5

Original Roll String: 1d10+10 (STATIC)

1 10-Sided Dice: (7)+10 = 17

THIS IS SUICIDEEEEE

Randomidget goes straight 10 spaces

Realeo goes straight 11 spaces, enter the outer lane, goes 1 space forward to the blue square, go to the center space and straight forward 1 space for 15 steps, burn 2 brakes for a triple collision die

Cheery Dog, Realeo, inspiratieloos, Relaeo, TwoInAMillion, Realeo

Original Roll String: 6d20 (STATIC)

6 20-Sided Dice: (9, 18, 14, 3, 19, 16) = 79

Wow. Not much action. Boring.

It didn't end up changing anything in this case, but in the future, it's important to do the turns in order. Realeo was before randomidget, and not the other way around. Also, even when rolling for another person in advance, please process the turns one at a time.

Beyond that, here is our Round 6 map and turn order*:

Mauthe
TwoInAMillion
Realeo
Cheery Dog
inspiratieloos
randomidget

*it's possible I've misunderstood what is considered the inside of the curve at this point, so if so feel free to edit this post with the correct order, inspir

[Mauthe]

back up to fourth gear

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6)+6 = 12

[Mauthe]

Forward 1, right two, and forward 4 more.

[Mauthe]

Ooo, is that our first collision?

[Mauthe]

I think this is correct. This corner is a mess.

edit: @TIAM: Realeo has burned 3 brakes, I believe, you've only got him down for losing 2.

lol i am tired. Ignore this for so many reasons.

[Mauthe]

I'll probably be making a quick stop.

[Mauthe]

Staying in 4th gear

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5)+6 = 11

[Mauthe]

No bonus, left 2, straight 10. I should be at the very end of the curve on the outside edge.

[Mauthe]

T. O.:

Me
Realeo
Cheery

TiaM
inspir
rando

[Mauthe]

Roll in advance: Gear 4. If I cannot reach the next corner, move to inner lane

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5)+6 = 11

[Mauthe]

Just short of the corner so that would make his move 2 right, 9 straight.

[Mauthe]

roll in advance: fourth gear, move into left lane, use soft tyre bonus if I roll 8 or less

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5)+6 = 11

[Mauthe]

+1 for soft tires. Left 1 straight 7

[Mauthe]

Also it looks like youre trying to avoid the green car but ive moved.

[Mauthe]

Yoi can go just straight and avoid collision

[Mauthe]

I assume 8, because that's how far he was travelling in his previous plan (and I personally don't see a point in doing less just because he's keeping in this lane).

[Mauthe]

That's everything up to now.

[Mauthe]

I think that since there's two and a half laps left, the game is far from called at this point.

[Mauthe]

gear 5

Original Roll String: 1d10+10

1 10-Sided Dice: (7)+10 = 17

[Mauthe]

Right, Left, Straightx14

A roll of one less would have been ideal for the next curve, but oh well.

[Mauthe]

Ouch, just missed it randomidget. I feel that.

[Mauthe]

Ok let's blast the fuck off. Just hope not to become a cautionary tale and go full Challenger.
6th gear:

Original Roll String: 1d10+20

1 10-Sided Dice: (1)+20 = 21

[Mauthe]

Right 2, straight 3, left 1, right 1, straight 15, left 2, straight 4.
I've overshot by 1, so that's two tire wear.
Acceptable losses.

[Mauthe]

[Mauthe]

@TIAM: That doesn't make sense. Aren't you in the middle lane?

[Mauthe]

inspiratieloos' most recent map has him in the middle lane. He's light blue, right?

[Mauthe]

Left is not possible where you are.

[Mauthe]

that works!

[Mauthe]

Head's up that I'll be V/LA from this Thursday until Monday morning.

[Mauthe]

Shifting down to 5th

Original Roll String: 1d10+10

1 10-Sided Dice: (8)+10 = 18

[Mauthe]

Right 2, straight 15 (using soft tire bonus)

[Mauthe]

4th gear

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6)+6 = 12

[Mauthe]

Straight, left 2, straight 6

[Mauthe]

3rd gear

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

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

[Mauthe]

Follow blue line, no bonus

[Mauthe]

Back from my trip. Reading up and rolling soon.

[Mauthe]

same gear

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4)+6 = 10

Bit of a risk here. Burn a little tire, but not spin out!

[Mauthe]

That's close enough to perfect!
Straight, left two, straight five, right two (using that +1 soft tire bonus one last time).
Next turn is the pits.

[Mauthe]

same gear

Original Roll String: 1d6+6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (3)+6 = 9

Bit of a risk here. Burn a little tire, but not spin out!

Sorry, was reading the OP and realized that I was in 3rd gear last turn. I assume it doesn't matter, since 4th was a legal gear for me to switch into, but if you want me to redo lmk.

[Mauthe]

That's close enough to perfect!
Straight, left two, straight five, right two (using that +1 soft tire bonus one last time).
Next turn is the pits.

You can't change directions after overshooting, so your last move to the right is illegal.

Ok sorry. In that case I'll turn the last two straights while still in the curve into rights. That should place me in the same position as i had intended. Does that work?

[Mauthe]

Yeah for sure. Thanks for the reminder

[Mauthe]

he rolled a 20 in fifth gear. I think actually others may have to roll it too, but my grasp on that rule is shaky.

[Mauthe]

Looks like it's anyone else who is currently in 5th or 6th gear, which at this time is noone.

[Mauthe]

4th still

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5)+6 = 11

Regardless of what i roll i can reach my pit fine so that's where I'm going.

[Mauthe]

Doing a quick stop and changing my tires for hard ones. Do I make that roll now, or do i wait a turn?

[Mauthe]

Jesus. Really couldn't just shift down? :p

[Mauthe]

4th of course, of course, of course!

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

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

[Mauthe]

Straightx10 which is juuust too short. Darn.

Handling dice for tiam

[Mauthe]

3rd:

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

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

[Mauthe]

straight 7 (overshot by 1)

[Mauthe]

Hey inspiratieloos? Last turn you lost an engine point, right? Does that mean there should be a road hazard where you were?
Also 4th gear:

Original Roll String: 1d6+6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2)+6 = 8

[Mauthe]

7 straight

[Mauthe]

The section i saw that seems to contradict that is 17-0-1 in the handling heading on page 26
Edit: of the tourney rules

[Mauthe]

3rd gear

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

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

Donr roll low >_<;;

[Mauthe]

Straight, 2 left, 5 straight
1/2

[Mauthe]

Again youre no where near them. They moved.
Also by my count you've missed the curve by one. Is that what you intend? Because i don't think you've used your +1 for soft tires.

[Mauthe]

3rd gear

Original Roll String: 1d5+3

1 5-Sided Dice: (5)+3 = 8

[Mauthe]

straight 2. right 2, straight 4

road handling

Original Roll String: 1d20

1 20-Sided Dice: (9) = 9

[Mauthe]

You seriously gotta remember that the map is only accurate to the point it was posted. You have to account for every move that happened since and stop acting like those cars are still there.

[Mauthe]

[Mauthe]

Left, straight 3, right, left, 24 straight.
Big ol overshoot.

[Mauthe]

Scratch that i will also brake 2 which should make it so i only overshoot by 4 and stop just behind you.

[Mauthe]

Lol gj me

[Mauthe]

Shift down 3 to roll for 3rd:

Original Roll String: 1d5+3
