I usually try to do a few runs with whatever runners I get on the draw
as soon as I can. Hoping that the person was either bluffing or
didn't get their "nice" challenges on the draw. Frankly a lot of
times it doesn't work out, but when it does :-) After that I do the
usual sit back and wait thing.

Originally I was thinking about having it continually build like that.
However, I agree with you, that it could get a bit out of hand. Ah!
Oops I see what my mistake was. Take a look at it now, the ghost
runners are discarded at the end of the turn. Hopefully that clears
things up a bit. This way each runner only has to face their own
ghosts :-)

Since the "ghosts" are part of the requirement, when the objective
changes, so does the requirement. I imagine the best thing to do
would be to discard them.

Yeah, the whole idea for this bike came from the only rigger I ever
played in the RPG. He would sit back in the chair (don't know if you
have seen the movie, "Akira", where I'm getting the image from) with
his arms crossed or behind his head and cruise around :-)

How about Phone Phrek (or however they spell it)

I understand. I should state I'm a fragile person, please take it
easy on me :-) ;-) :-) ;-) Actually I'm a firm believe in "if you
can't take it, don't dish it out" "Do your worst, I'm not afraid" :-)

I like this concept as well (leaving challenges in place until the
objective is trashed) ;-)

Give it another try and let me know what happens. I just tried it and
didn't have a problem. Hopefully you either caught me in mid update,
or geocities was having a problem.
