Rah exits the loop turn, headed for the 2nd sandtrap run. Kassi is still following closely behind him. Meanwhile, back closer towards the beginning of the loop, Sparrowhawk and Gamecube are neck-and-neck for 3rd place, and Spaced is just behind them. Meanwhile, Ljube is about to enter the straight section of the road before the loop turn.

Now accepting turn 21 orders.

Gamecube today became the first driver to completely exhaust his WC supply, now in 3rd place in front of Sparrowhawk. Rah, in first place, has entered the sandtrap alley, and Kassi continues to be in hot pursuit. Gamecube has edged ahead of Sparrow approaching the bridge. Spaced has fallen to 5th place, but is not too far behind Gamecube and Sparrowhawk. Ljube continues to cruise along, and with a few WCs still in the bank, there still may be time for him to make a run (or at least be a spoiler for someone).

Now accepting turn 22 orders.

But I think I am in 4th, ahead of Spaced and not far behind Gamecube (unless I have completely missed something).

He gets us confused, dude!

How could it be confusing, #4 is #3, #3 is #4 and #2 is #5 (oh, and #5 is #6 of course ).

[Spaced Cowboy]

Trust me on this one. You forget who the numbers are in the game when typing up the text.

[Sparrowhawk]

I fully believe you and understand completely. I was trying to be funny in my numbers above, indicating that of course it was confusing.

I appreciate the effort that Jonny and others put into this and other forum games GMing.

Having GM'd Society and Nuclear War myself , I have no desire to GM any others, though I will if necessary, I don't think you will see me volunteering.

[Jonny]

Yea, I sort of slaughtered that write-up. It should be better now...

The numbers do get kind of confusing... I remember back in the old Formula One FG that we used letters instead of numbers, maybe we should implement that again?
