Autopilot set.....

[BrendanS]

I'll have to stick with sending moves in advance. Not brilliant, but am at No2 now, and hoping for No1 in next few minutes.


Drat, just had a bad gybe, and back at 122

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

wahoo... upto 24th now...... as previously.... won't last!

 

[BrendanS]

I'm not very good at this yet, and it's only a practise, but secretly quite chuffed.

I've mostly automated my changes, and only made a very few changes at all, manual or automatic.

I'm now at 119 YIPPPPEEEE! <g>

 

[Dipper]

You do know you are not allowed to use your engine don't you. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[BrendanS]

errr! Did anyone explain that to me before the start? and can I appeal?

I understand that appeals are quite common in raggie racing?

 

[Dipper]

You need to get a raggie dictionary. We don't use normal language for anything. The word is 'Protest'. And we like to protest all the time. I thought you might have noticed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[BrendanS]

OK I protest. Wind! (is that right?)


Which flags do I need to chuck up on the stick (mast?) to show my appeal, sorry, protest, and how do I do that on this internet game?

I'm starting to get really annoyed I can't make it work like it really should.
Lets get some proper developers in, and make it work properly, even though it's free to use, it should work properly /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

We also like to consider any protest by referring to a very large rule book, usually several hours later, and then decide by committee.......

You really don't understand us at all do you?..... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[fireball]

Brendan - take a look over your stern .... I'm just on the horizon and closing fast!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[fireball]

you did sign up as a raggie didn't you? We've got full cockpit controls, instruments and crew .... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[BrendanS]

It's going to have to be a very big protest book by the time we've finished this race. It's going to take weeks, and I've made a protest about every 2 minutes so far.

 

[BrendanS]

What signs are you showing? and are you on port, or sherry tack? this software is rubbish, I can't use my binoculars to see?

 

[Dipper]

And the Protest Committee consists of Morgana, Fireball, Dyflin, Chabrenas and me.

You lose!

[fireball]

I'm right of way ... can't you see?

I don't bother with Bino's ... I paid extra and have CCTV at the top of the mast ... the zoom is wonderful - can see right into your cabin from here .... NO DON'T DO THAT ...... pan pan pan pan ..... away from your boat .... phew that's better!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

whatever you do Brendan, DON'T PRESS THE RED BUTTON!

 

[BrendanS]

I appeal, err, protest

Wind, Port, err, Lakesailor, and 'I'm fucmumbibg racing, so get out of the way!" /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

 

[BrendanS]

Strewth

Pauline, Powerskipper, Carol, Goosewing, Zigmundo, and half a dozen other females on here, would have killed you if you'd ever shown those cctv live.

You could earn quite a bit if you show the first two hours live?

 

[BrendanS]

What this one?


oOPS, YOUR GOAT HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE SCREEN



Did I do a bad thing?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

no, but be aware its an ejector sea............

where did he go?

 

[fireball]

I see you're about to depart the med .... I'm about 100Nm behind you cos I didn't bother starting the practice race oh hum!
