And yes, GMing takes considerable effort.
When I do it, I liked the numbers because then I would forget who was who. I didn't want to know who was who when I was determining random outcomes. It shouldn't make a difference but I'd rather not know.

Shameless bump.

Turn 22: Yes, the GM is still living!

Again, apologies for the delay...

Note: rah is currently on a sandbag.

Rah is the first to fall victim to sandbag alley, hitting a threesome of sandbags in a row, reducing him down to speed 2. Kassi now knows where these sandbags are, but he'll have to burn a WC or to in order to avoid them. Gamecube is also about to enter the sandbag alley, and both Sparrowhawk and Spaced Cowboy are trailing him. Now, Ljube is beginning to bridge the gap between himself and Spaced Cowboy as he prepares to enter the loop turn.

Now accepting turn 23 orders.
Hopefully I'll be able to get back up to full update speed soon.

I am sure we all understand that RL intervenes on occassion and slows the game. Your efforts are appreciated however

I'm going to set a record for most sandbags in a single race *sigh*

Tight time times indeed. I will pull out of the race, but it was looking pretty bleak even if I didn't.

Note: Car 6 is sitting on a sandbag.

With Gamecube withdrawing from the race (probably due to his lack of WCs, which would make it difficult to traverse the sandbags) and pulling off to the side of the track, only 5 cars remain in the race. Despite hitting some sand on the previous turn, Rah enjoys a three space lead over Kassi still, due to Kassi's run-in with a couple of sandbags of his own. Sparrowhawk still leads Spaced as they themselves approach the sandbag run; and just below Sparrow, Ljube goes through the underpass as he approaches the loop turn, with 3 WCs still in his possession and a fast speed to boot.

Now accepting turn 24 orders.

[Kassiopeia]

****ing sandbags I had a chance to take this before they came along. Oh well. And my carefully plotted driving plan goes out of the window too. Was kind of expecting this though...

Also, sent.
