Things I need to have before I can start the Race. Adwarfs rerolls and Lukes obstacle.

[adwarf]

Reroll 1: Light High Density Titanium Plating - A high density titanium alloy plating made to compensate for low defensive power, and yet still allow great high-speed movement.

Reroll: If the above is lower then a 4 then reroll
If not -
Rapid Fire Dual 20MM Missile Launcher: These missile launchers are right above the Quad Missiles. IT is made to shoot numerous small high explosive projectiles at foes.

Reroll: If the reroll for the plating is below 4 again then reroll that again.
If not -
If the rapid missile launcher is rolled and gets below 4 reroll that
If the missile launcher wasn't built with the second reroll, and none of the above apply then roll for the missile launchers.
If the Missile Launcher was built with 4 or above -
Spider Mine Dropper - The Destroyer can drop little AI spider mines that charge the nearest target other then me, and explode

(Keep the better score for all rerolls if possible.)

[Dariush]

You didn't specify what should happen if the launcher was built in the second roll and rolled above 4.

Turn Six: Starting Link MK.1

Hello and thank you for tuning into WDR channel for today. Today is the start of the first race of the season. The race will start soon, and currently the engineers are finishing up the circuit. So let's first look at the contenders.

First up is Adwarf, a newcomer in this race, whose vehicle combines Old and new. The Elegancy and Speed of a Mustang powered by State of the Art technology. Other contenders will want to look out for his advanced drone technology. Rumours go he even brought a gift from the Cold war.

Next up is Tyrin, an old contender, whose traded in his old Valkyrie in favour of a new ship. This one still flies but is faster and nimbler then it's predeccesor. It's still shares the same propulsion methods. His vehicle is equiped with state of the Art jamming technology ,so contenders may find his ship hard to hit.

After that comes Jack, another Veteran of the WDR. Having narrowly lost the previous race, he decide to focus his new design on weaponry rather then speed. He still got a  Rocket booster for when he wants to move forward fast.

Max is up next. He designed his ship to follow after the original Armadillo. Sporting strong armor and point defenses, he's going to be hard to take on. He's also carrying a Devestator missile launcher, which has been banned in Seventheen solar systems.

Dariush the mad is up next. His airplane has been equiped with special high altitude boosters, allowing him to fly high into the Stratosphere. This makes it way harder for enemies to hit them, But the inverse is true. Also give Special attention to his Electromagnetical Pulse unit, which can severly hamper other racers.

The next racer is a bit of an enigma, wrapped in a mystery. His origin unknown, his vehicle a technical impossibility. His vehicle has been banned from even existing in 62 different worlds, for fear it might collapse the Reality continuum.

And last but not Least, The glorious Sky King, formely known as Monk. He won the previous race. This time he's driving a robotic horse.  Contenders should beware of his power draining ability, but he sure is one of the favourites for Today.

Also, last but not least( and certainly not forgotten by the GM) is Luke. Players will want to watch out for his military grade equipment.


Now let's look at the course. The Federation starts easily on a broad straight slope. Land vehicles can try to arcelerate quickly by driving on the gravel, but then they need to take care not to fly of the course. There's also the optional pit stop, where drivers can halt to refuel and repair.

From there they go over the Old Hover bridge. It was in a severe state of disrepair, but our engineers managed to get it functioning again. Untrusting contenders are invited to race over the Pylons instead.

The next part is one of the most interesting off the entire race. The narrow canyon makes it hard to pass people here. The WDR commitee informs us that the Armory is off limits, and that the drivers should not attempt to drive through the boards, how flimsy they make look or how easy it may seem.

Next up are the caves. Contenders should take care to avoid the different stalactites, as they have been reinforced with Plasma shields to prevent damage to this histoical treasury.

And then the Cliff.  There used to be a bridge here, but our engineers couldn't repair it. Drivers will need to take maintenance way in order to go down. In order to deter contenders from taking a shortcut, the WDR union has placed flak turrets in order to shoot anyone that tries to jump the cliff.

And that seems to be everything guys. We'll be back to you soon , when the race starts.

Actions Needed: See first post. No firing weapons in the first turn.


Note: Feel free to ignore the safety warnings and such.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Section 1: Start. Broad and clear of debris. Optionall pitstop (Requires complete stop, allows repairs and refueling).
Land vehicles can try to arcelerate quickly on this section. Requires a dodge or armor roll of 4 to avoid driving into something. Gains you 15 speed.

Section 2: The bridge: This magnificent hover bridge used to be the pride of the circuit. Now it's falling apart. ( 2 ways: the bridge or the pylons).
-The pylons: Requires a dodge roll. 2 or more needed. (Failure= Fallback). Unable to be hit by anyone on the bridge.
-Bridge: Use the bridge like normal people do. Sadly it's quite unstable, and being attacked on this section might cause it to collapse [30/30]

Section 3: The canyon.
-You are unable to pass each other in this section.
-Boarded of section: Leads to the armory. Players can attempt to drive through or blow it up [20/20 hp]
-Airplanes can fly over this section. They can pass others.

Section 4: The caves: Requires a 4 dodge or armor roll or better to avoid the stalactites.(Failure=Damage)

Section 5: The Cliff: There used to be a bridge here, but is long since gone. The WDR instead replaced it with a ramp and some anti aircraft turrets. Again there are 2 ways here.
The maintenance way: Slowly decend the cliff, this way will cut your speed by 20% but is perfectly safe.
The jump: Jumping is no problem, but failing to arcelerate will result in plunging your nose into the ground or getting hit by the AA.
Dive: Airplanes can dive to gain 10 extra speed. They need to get a dodge roll of 3 or better to avoid plunging into the ground though.

Um, am I not a part of this race?

Um , Sorry forgot you. Can I get your obstacle please, btw. It will be hidden for other players, but I need to know it's there.

[Maxinum McDreich]

no weapons fired at the start of the race? This makes me sad

[adwarf]

Aggressive Driving!

[Toaster]

Toaster grinned out of what must have been the cockpit of the Paradox.  Steve had left him behind, unwilling to enter into any racer that by all rights should not exist.  The strain of the race loss (and the psychoactive substances) had cracked his calm demeanor, and he was now more unpredictable.

Ignoring any rules of common sense, he dived right back into the racing world with his nonsensical vehicle and prepared to take it by storm.


Turn PMed!

[monk12]

Turn In!

Incidentally, does it cost an action to activate a special ability (e.g Cincinnati's Jetboost?)

[Luke_Prowler]

[Tiruin]

((Flavor for the flavor!))

Tyrin strapped on his personal aviator mask and donned his helmet, on the fore was a yellow green crest in the shape of three arrows assembled in a triangular design around a gilded circle. He chuckled as he remembered mostly everyone misinterpreting this as 'recyclable in case of death'.

He activated the engine through a lever and adjusted the shutter view length and set the parameters. Glancing to his right, he could make out the distant figures of those he competed with in the past races, along with a new person. They brought different gadgets today, and he acknowledged their resilience through a silent nod. To his left however, almost left him stunned. Stunned enough to maybe forget his plan.

A strange klein bottle was positioned directly adjacent to his craft, somewhat standing upright despite it's figure. Inside, he could detect an anomaly forming - a kitty and a loaf of bread turning concentrically around...itself. Along with the other things that defied the laws of physics and reality that were inside it, he could detect Toaster. Sitting...somewhere inside it.

He gave him a salute in honor of his innovation, though glad to know that his mouth was covered by the mask as he was grinning in awe, and pulled the throttle.

PM!

"Rolling Thunder, morale is high today."

((adwarf, this is done by PM so others won't cheat. I won't, but the POST-BY-PM is just to ensure that. Actions will be known in the proceeding turns, don't worry.))

[adwarf]

I know I just didn't see a point in PMing this first action since you guys can't shoot at me anyway.

[Tiruin]

I know I just didn't see a point in PMing this first action since you guys can't shoot at me anyway.

Shoot =/= Ability usage. 

((How is movement performed again? Does normal driving keep the speed constant?))
