I spent :10bux: so I could say that I finally figured out what this god damned cube is doing. Get well Lowtax.

There's been some really, really good racing so far this season; shame the same can't be said of the courses, two serious injuries in the past three races, and now a safety-marble lap due to an obstacle on the track. Someone needs to have a word with the stewards before there's a serious injury, they've been very lucky so far.

Orangin was doing so well in the first couple laps, then he got completely bullied by half the field in the chicane. He fought back a bunch of spots, but they needed a win. I think the Orangers may just need to write off this whole season at this point.

The Ducks have been making my hair turn grey this season - they've made a habit of doing well in the qualifiers, then dropping halfway down the leaderboard and sloooowwwllly hauling themselves back up again. Just one podium finish this time around, that's all I ask :(

Christ I forgot what it feels like to have your team be a part of the conversation again. After such an incredible suck streak I'm more than happy to see the O'rangers take 2nd place. And if they couldn't have first, I'm glad it went to Pole Champion Green Ducks. It's hard to ignore them this year

Same. I was stressing out during their whole run in the lead. I've seen them be in the top three then fall 7-10 places in a single lap so, so many times.

I like how they made it worse by making the track walls too high to keep the marbles in view (let alone the excessively separated forks) and the finish line impossible to cross.

Yeah now I'm super into marble racing, Team Galactic even though they always seem to disappoint. I've also been checking out this Loading Kings series, little different in that it isn't all autonomous, but reminds me of this with it's strangely captivating stupidity:

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

Before anyone gets too excited, the O'rangers and Savage Speeders aren't in this because they have a guaranteed slot. Love them or hate them, it's just not Marble League without them.

I'm kind of a little embarrassed by how salty I was getting while patiently waiting for the O'rangers to show up before I finally saw the note in the description. Stupid. Could you imagine the backlash if they got left out? Even those who don't like them love to watch them suffer

btw I liked that first event with the waves, very satisfying to watch.

Okay last thought: that bell contraption that counted down the sand rally was cool.
