How do I play?

Asked with: Rallyman: GTbg-256589-en-1e

To play Rallyman: GT, follow these steps:
Determining Order of Play
At the start of each round, the order of play is determined by:
1. Speed: The car with the highest Gear marker plays first.[1][2]
2. Distance: If speeds are equal, the car furthest along the track plays first.[1][2]
3. Position: In the event of a tie in speed and distance, the car on the inside lane of the next corner plays first.[1][2]
Note: Cars on the track always play before those off of it.[2]
The Turn
Once the order is established, each player takes their turn one after the other.[1]
1. Choose your dice.[1][3]
2. Plan your movement by placing dice on the track.[4]
3. Choose to roll your dice one by one (the safe option) or all at once (to gain Focus tokens).[4]
4. Move your car one space along the track per die rolled, regardless of the result.[4]
5. Use dice to accelerate, brake, and coast.[1] Each die can only be used once per turn.[5][2]
6. You may stop and end your movement at any time, provided you do not suffer a Loss of Control.[4]
7. At the end of your turn, place a Gear marker next to your car showing your final speed and the color of the next round.[6][4] If you only rolled Coast dice, turn your existing Gear marker to the color of the next round.[4]
Rules of Movement
* You must move your car at least one space forward each turn, if possible.[5]
* Cars must always move forward, either in a straight line or diagonally, but never laterally.[5]
* The front edge of the space moved to must be further along the track than the previous space.[5]
* Only one car can occupy a space at a time; you may not move through a space occupied by another car.[5]
* Entering a corner at a gear higher than the indicated limit results in an immediate Loss of Control.[2]
Ending the Game
A game consists of one or more laps around a chosen circuit.[6] The first player to cross the finish line during their turn is the winner.[6]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

what the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 37 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

watchdog
first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.

both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it.

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
