So, is Aqizzar's move cosidered corrupt?
On one level, if neither of us wins, he won't be able to pay. Where'd I put that lead pipe?

On another, he's also betting for himself. It would be much more unethical if he'd be betting against himself, but still.

What do you guys think about having betting closed once someone has passed the halfway point, with odds being updated every turn or so?

Sounds good, otherwise people would bet everything on the personon the last square. And then you would lose

Actually, once we started getting closer, I'd chage the odds drasticly. I'd still lose money, but hopefully, not as much. Then, if there's an upset . . .

Also, I'm carefully keeping track of how much money I can lose in betting, in case of a worst case scenerio. I don't intend to go bankrupt.

What do you mean unable to pay?  I got 500☼ for grabbing you, then bet 400☼ of it.  I already payed, I'm not betting on speculation.

As for betting on myself, I'd say that's entirely in bounds.  Betting specifically against myself would be quite suspect however.

SHADOW: I assume that the placement of Strife on the map-thing means he's behind me, Kashyyk, and Pandarsenic right?  Considering he fell out of my car, it would quite a feat if I managed to hit him now.

If the top 4 or so players were given odds of 1:1 on the last 2 spaces....
Better with all players on the furthest space by then.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 500. Never mind, you can still pay it even if you lose.

Darn.

remember, I'm backing the bets with a finite amount of money. I can't offer good odds until I can be unlucky once or twice.

Lots of good rolls this time around.

except for qwerty

Turn 6!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


Cautious driving this turn, I neeed to get to the last square safely
You pay careful attention to driving around hazards,you prepare to drive around Strife but you notice Banzayatc drive right over him!
 You drive to the final stretch!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I try to use qwerty's attack on me to instead benefit me, so that he pushes me faster instead of ramming/damaging me
You delecately match your movements to qwertyuiopas and brace yourself.He hits you and you are propelled by the force of the blow!
 However you notice one of your wheels wobbling.
 You continue on your journey,assured you'll never see qwerty again.
(Well,this race anyway)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Me and the henchdwarf double-team Poltifar, since that is the only way I can get better than last(If someone is knocked out of the race permanently)
You smash into Poltifar,but are dismayed by him being propelled forward without as much damage as you were hoping for.
 Your vehicle appears to be on its last breath,you know you can continue but it just doesn't budge.
 Maybe you should push?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

TURBO SPEED! I push the button, while trying to carefully drive (yeah, change of driving style) on Strife, so his explosion will push me towards the finish.
You bash your button and drive right over strife!
 He glows bright as the sun and explodes in a mighty show of force!
 You recover from the shock and notice yourself soaring towords the finish line.
 You also are caught by the fact that your vehicle's armor looks rather worn.
 You cross the finish line landing oddly on your wheels,you hear the suspension squeek.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Using basic physics, I crash Cheeetar into the wall since he's still attached to me.I change to normal driving. Let's try to get to the finish, shall we?
One of my cats jumps onto his face and starts a scratching him, so he can't see where he is going, and I detach myself, driving forward agressively.
Initiative roll(whos action comes first)Boski 1-3,cheeetar 4-6,the roll is a 3.

Boski performs some hectic movement in his efferts to Cheeetar off,he succeeds to Cheeetar's dismay.
 Cheeetar collides into a wall while Boski moves to the final stretch.
Spoiler: boski (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: cheeetar (click to show/hide)

I have no armor, a damaged engine, and I lost my disposable dwarf-bomb.  I'm neck and neck with two other angry maniacs with far tougher cars.  I can do this.

Pump, pump, pump for all you're worth!  Slow down and we're boned!  Faster and we're kings!  This is the last stretch boys!  Give it everything you've got!

All dwarves to the pumps!  The most aggressive driving ever!  Lean forward for momentum!  Flap arms to reduce weight!  There's no stopping me now!
(Classy)

Mad Olan gets situated on his pump,you then proceed to whip your pumpers madly while you proceed to cross the finish line.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

More aggresive driving with some driving focus thrown in, I will win!!!

(note that drving focus is a guarenteed +1 cornering,no action roll)

You tighten your reflexes in an effort to keep yourself from going off course,you chant to yourself... "not now,not... now,I must win!
 Your efforts were not in vain,you cross the finish line.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I immediately attempt to pass the other 4th-square contestants, charging for the final stretch. Still on full aggression.
You focus heavily on the other races,recalling their patterns,plotting a method around them,but despite your best efforts you Can Not get around them.It remains neck and neck,with some bozo flying over the course into the leading pack.
 You cross the finish line.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I rush to the finish line as fast as possible, not caring for the other racers. I must get in the top three!
You put the pedal to the metal,but for some damned reason it won't accelerate!
 You slow down,unable to keep up with the pack,however your boars get a few hits on passing Akroma,shearing her armor a mite.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Added details on between race actions,and added repairs to the parts list.

series two parts are in!


Since there is almost no way in hell qwertyuiopas will finish anywhere but last,should I end the race now?
Or should I let you guys trash each other cars some more?

Strife full update please,I expect properly balanced cash reserves on your part.
(specs still start racer life with at least beginners package)
