| I thought about running something like this also. My only conclusion: use a simplified map. Or at the very least make the calculation process for determining speed/location very easy. |

| No Joss Whedon fans, huh? I guess I won't ever mention Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, or Firefly/Serenity. |

| It is Loki we're talking about. I think it might have something to do with his big movie next summer. |

Two Girlfriends. Maybe three. He has had to devote all of his time to keeping their names straight, and remember who he's going to be with on any given night.

| I've been wondering if this game was the reason Loki disappeared -- he realized what a tremendous amount of work he had signed up for in adjudicating it, and decided that discretion was the better part of valor. |

| Or hopefully nothing as sinister, nor even as problematic as computer problems. Hoping he'll just pop up with a sheepish "yeah, it's just end of semester stuff, had to let stuff slip, I'll be back on it in no time" - that would be best. |

| Loki hasn't been on in over a week. He is AWOL from two games I am involved in, both of which I am pretty sure he was pretty avid to play. Either he has had major computer problems or something worse has happened. I'm hoping it's merely the former, and that there are no hospitals nor ambulances involved. |

| It doesn't have to be ideal track conditions to make it the most incredible piece of automotive engineering ever. And only a crass American would desecrate such an icon by painting it pink! |

Just to fill some time, while the picture Loki found is a good representation of the car I had in mind, I did mention it has a black roof. Join me in picturing me driving this car:

| Are there corners in the US though? I thought that was always the argument about why European "supercars" were just better than US ones: because they can do corners and US ones can't - because they don't need to. |

| But it took ideal conditions for the thing to hit 253. Around a track where it had to turn various corners, it was not as good. |

bah! At least I'm not too far from getting onto I-295 (NJ Turnpike) for about 60 miles before rejoining I-95.  |

The 3-man group of MNOWAX, Dented Ford, and Zahariel cruises along NY-9A next to the Hudson River. MNOWAX and Dented Ford pull onto the George Washington Bridge going west, but WHAT’S THIS, Zahariel is on I-95 NORTH? He’s headed up towards Albany. I don’t know what kind of detour he’s taking, but I hope he knows what he’s doing.
Our 5 man group successfully crosses into New Jersey and looks to be headed onto I-95S. Courk, raekuul, and MatthewV can be seen getting ready to chuck a cannonball out their windows, but with no one behind them, it’s too little, too late. Wait, MatthewV pulls onto NJ-3. He may be trying to find a way out of the pack.
Quailman chucks a cannonball from his vehicle near the intersection of I-278 & I-95. He’s cruising along I-95 north of Trenton when suddenly his car drops from 100 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour! At the exact moment (12:42:52) that Zahariel, MNOWAX, and Dented Ford pull onto I-95, Quailman’s engine gives out. With some of the 5-pack looking to pull onto I-95S as well, it’s looking like Quailman’s going to have a hard time keeping pace with ShadowSword, who is cruising towards the Pennsylvania border at 100mph. |

ShadowSword really takes off down South. He rides Broadway, taking Broome & Watts to get onto the Holland Tunnel at 12:10:12PM. And, with that, he hits I-78 and floors his ambulance up to 100 miles per hour. In no time, he is the first to cross into New Jersey at 12:10:46. As he pops out the other side, he chucks two cannonballs along his route, then pops onto U.S. 1-9, doing a comfortable 75 miles per hour, with no sign of slowing down. At our marker 12:15:51 PM, ShadowSword is cruising swiftly through New Jersey.
Meanwhile, Quailman crosses the Manhattan Bridge and pulls onto I-278. He floors it to 100mph. The big drawback to this strategy is that he’ll have to cross through Staten Island. Ick.
Let’s check in with the rest of the pack, where midday traffic is still slowing them to a crawl.
Courk, MatthewV, raekuul, Omega Centauri, and Zag have just turned onto Dyer, almost certainly headed for the Lincoln Tunnel. Meanwhile, Zahariel, MNOWAX, and Dented Ford have zipped past them on W 34th Street and have turned onto NY-9A. Hitting the State Route will let them increase their speed, but split three ways, they’re still only going about 17 miles per hour.
Getting the early lead is a must, and right now it looks like a two-man race between Quailman and ShadowSword. |
