Abstract: In a car racing game, one player is given a crown in racecourse units which indicates that the player is the fastest player (champion) of the racecourse. A player can play a crown competition with the player possessing the crown aiming to acquire the crown. For example, when a player Px challenges the crown of the racecourse 1, the player Px operates a player's car PC and plays a match against a player Pa who is a crown-possessing player of the racecourse 1. Specifically, the player Px plays a match against a ghost car GC controlled based on ghost data Ga1 of the player Pa for the racecourse 1. When the player Px has won the match, the crown of the racecourse 1 possessed by the player Pa is transferred to (acquired by) the player Px.

The message posted by the corresponding following user is displayed when the user has touched the balloon. The user can edit the avatar by touching the avatar.

Abstract: If a “draft” regulation is defined for each of leagues, all players on original teams owned by all game players are tentatively pooled.

Abstract: A team is organized with players having preset inclination values having an influence on individual behavior tendencies of the players while a whole inclination value having an influence on the behavior tendency of a whole team is set. The difference between the whole inclination value of the team and inclination values of the individual players is calculated. The smaller the difference, the higher the player's ability is changed than the initial value. The larger the difference, the lower it is changed than the initial value. In match simulation processing, a simulation is performed with the abilities after the change.

Abstract: A plurality of first missions (mission A (M 1A), mission B (M1B), and mission C (M1C)) are set corresponding to different battle areas in a game space 2. The operations of NPCs are automatically controlled so that friend NPCs 8 and enemy NPCs 9 involved in each first mission simultaneously fight a battle in parallel. A player character 6 is automatically determined to have participated in the first mission for which the player character 6 has approached the battle area or the first mission in which the enemy NPC 9 which has been shot down by the player character 6 is involved, and individual mission support contribution points Pa, Pb, Pc, and total support contribution points Pt are increased when the player character 6 has shot down the enemy NPC 9. When the player has performed a support request operation input, the total support contribution points Pt are decreased by given points.
