Lookout Behind you!!!

[Alistairr]

I started 8hrs late, and I've made up 600 places since then.

Was 3rd last in the YBW leaderboard, now I've dragged myself upto 18th position, having just passed BoobyTrapper, and shortly about to pass Victorious!!

Watchout everybody, this mobo'er is cruising!!!

Also the Chat feature on the SOL is great, was on there last night with good chat from others here and abroad, come on and give us your chat.

Cheers

Al.

Ok, Edit that, BoobyTrapper has just overtaken Victorious and myself!

But that'll not last!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't take too much notice of the leader boards. They can be very misleading. For example the top SOL seed is currently 444th but in reality he may well be in the top ten. A lot of the other top players are well over 300.

Position is everything.

 

[bumblefish]

I hope you are right as only 3 of us have gone for the deep forties!

 

[Dipper]

People joining on the start line are in front of us so we just keep going backwards. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[bumblefish]

Well at the moment I am further South and East than Ericsson 4 so I might be doing the right thing?

 

[Dipper]

There are 3 boats dead ahead of me by 2 - 3 hours. Looking at their tracks in the old client, all they have done is set a compass course from the start line and buggered off.

I don't know why I bother. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[bumblefish]

I also used the old client to check courses and can only hope that they are all asleep and end up in Antarctica or is that a bit cruel?

 

[Dipper]

They don't deserve any better! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

At least we are entering into the spirit of the game.

 

[Spyro]

Shows how quick things can change Al. It's a long race.

 

[Daipal]

I notice that not only are we well ahead of the real boats, they are only doing about 8 kts compared to the the 20+ that we are doing. Either we are better sailors or the actual weather is totally different to that in both of the games.

 

[Dipper]

Oh dear. Mrs Fireball is in front of Mr Fireball. Come on Mr F. Our pride is at stake.

[fireball]

That was because my delayed command I set didn't get through - but it did for Mrs F

 

[Dipper]

Sounds suspiciously like sabotage to me. They are very devious creatures.

 

[BrendanS]

Yes, password change time I think.


Hmmm! I wonder if that explains why I started heading North from the start?


Off to change my password!

 

[fireball]

Can we finish the race now ... Mrs F has said she is quite happy with her position in the league .....

 

[BrendanS]

You may have to explain to Mrs F, that this is an endurance event, and that a few quick spurts, and a series of extended periods of ecstasy will be more fulfilling in the long run, than an immediate result.

 

[fireball]

Nah - nothing like that .... she just wants to get off to the shops!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[BrendanS]

If it's shoe shopping, then PaulineB is the league leader

 

[Alistairr]

Na, let it go on a bit longer!! I'm catching you all up pretty quickly.
