Just hopping by to say man, this theme is hard.


Agreed w. marti--this is a tricky one. :)

I didn't read the rules closely enough this morning, and had to start over. My original track had a split, then each side of that split again, then a CP where everything came together, then pick one of two ways back, so eight different routes to take...but yeah...only 1 CP. Sadness.

I think I have something now that will work, with 4 double-CPs, but it's still a little unfriendly to drive...needs a bit more polish.

If flying was easy, we wouldn't need TSA agents ;-)

There's something I don't understand. Is a finish (the red one) tile allowed. Or just a multilap (the yellow one) tile and nothing else ?

Just the multilap. I explicitly forbid GREEN start and RED finish, because some builders would otherwise use those to finish the race.

Hahaha, I had to start over too--don't feel bad. I'm finding it a really interesting challenge to make all routes easily drivable in both directions. I'm down to only three double-checkpoints, but I'm trying to make all combinations possible (i.e. 123, 132, 213, 231, 321, 312) and have similar times as well, but be fairly different driving experiences.

This is a great MTC--lots of variables to juggle. :)

Fantastic theme this month.

Unfortunately I won't have time to enter, all I can do is wish you all the best of luck with the editor. (y)
