BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Was halfway through springing into action with some identity theft there, in case anyone else was doing the same, but may as well just jump in with a DoV. My Car’s Raciness is 48 (3*4*4), which beats Larry’s (1*2*1 = 2), Murphy’s (3*1*3 = 9) and Argon’s (1*3*1 = 3). With the Raciest car, I achieve victory.

The rule states “on of after that day”, not on that day.

The rule is a pretty obvious typo/gloss for “(at any time) on or after that day”.

I agree, why draw this out until tomorrow, when its obvious the Kevan has the biggest chance of winning at this point. I think the only person that can be identity thefted is Sphinx and its only 50 dollars.

While RaichuKFM is technically right there is no point in prolonging as far as i can tell

“The rule is a pretty obvious typo/gloss for “(at any time) on or after that day”.”

I feel I have to inform you that as a non-native this was pretty nonobvious to me.

As a non-active player I have no idea what the odds are that someone manages to beat Kevan by tomorrow, but “Technically you haven’t won but since you declared victory it’s OK.” feels wrong on principle.

Well raced!

Turns out that there was a relatively straightforward scam open to gain an arbitrary amount of raciness. With access to two Gyms with a Stat of at least 2, one can reduce Gym A’s Stat by 2 to increase the Chassis stat, then copy Gym B’s Stat back to Gym A (last sentence of rule 2.2.3). Repeat at nauseam to obtain the pimpest car on the block.

Yeah, I spotted that. Disappointed that that didn’t get exploited.

I’d spotted it, but it turned out that I didn’t need to use it - with Chassis capped at 10, it was enough to just burn through both Gyms once. Credit to Clucky for spotting that two Gyms could copy a Stat from an otherwise off-limits Garage, and for not changing the locks on me.

Ah, I didn’t know there was a cap. That makes sense then.
