That's OK. It didn't disrupt the pace of the game, IMO. Also, I realize the time zone thing; it isn't a problem. Post when you can, live your life the rest of the time. It's a game. I'll compensate where I need to to keep the plot moving along.] > [Dennis, I appreciate the effort to keep the rules portion of the game > as transparent as possible.

Thanks for letting me know. The racing scenes will require a bit less transparency, but I believe that we can do it in a noncumbersome fashion. I am drafting up a set of procedures for us to hash through before hand, so that we're all on the same page when the racing begins.] -- ************************ Dennis D.
