Welcome--back to the circus
At GaryCon last year, gizmomathboy gave me and BigPerm a copy of the rules for Circus Maximus because BigPerm bragged that he is going to win it this year. Needless to say, we remained unprepared.
Anyone have any advice or tutorials or know any good resources? Just an example of play might be useful.

Re: Welcome--back to the circus
If you go to the boardgamegeek page for it there are some downloads of The General that had some questions about it and give some decent tips about being a bastard.
I might also be inclined to drop a link here for those as well.
What? Me worry?

Re: Welcome--back to the circus
Also, on the the garycon forums I'm accepting ideas to make the moebius maximus track "interesting".
I probably should get around to submitting my garycon events...

Re: Welcome--back to the circus
I just ordered a copy of this. I'll be spending the next 2 months getting ready for GaryCon.
I guess I should also bone up on some Latin phrases to really set the mood.

Suges (You suck)
I flagellabunt vos sicut canis es ( I whip you like the dog you are)
Viam victori (Make way for the victor)
nunc te morientem terra (You die now)
moriemini (You die)
I suppose I could do this all day on Google Translate if I shouldn't be getting ready for xmas.
Look forward to see you at the races, Big Perm.
Also, fun to see how they get retranslated...badly by the same google translator.

Re: Welcome--back to the circus
moriemini means something like "you will die", actually; the imperative form would be morere or morére.
