I probably shouldn’t be so crass as to talk about SC totals, but I found this amusing: Countries in game 1, ranked by SC count: 1. England 2. Austria (tie) 3. Russia (tie) 4. Italy 5. Turkey (tie) 6. France (tie) 7. Germany (eliminated) Countries in game 2, ranked by SC count: 1. Germany 2. France 3. Turkey 4. Italy (tie) 5. Russia (tie) 6. Austria 7. England (eliminated) So, is game 2 the Bizzaro-world for game 1, or the other way around? Does **wevets** look like me, but with a goatee? ---

> [@Orbifold](#): > > Countries in game 1, ranked by SC count: > > 1. England > 2. Austria (tie) > 3. Russia (tie) Whoops, never mind. That should be (2) Russia and (3) Austria, of course; I didn’t realize that Russia had 8 centres but missed a build…darn it, it was almost perfect symmetry. ---
