So we can't chat between riders, or comment on other peoples posts as our riders, or write one post as each rider? We get one post per day to cover everything that happens in the entire game for all of our riders?
Guess i'll make posts at about 11:59PM including 1000 quote boxes

Well, I really wanted to prevent the game thread from being spammed. Conversations can easily turn into 1 sentence posts, hope you understand why I made the rule, then.
The game is supposed to be the "story" of an entire (or multiple) season(s) of cyclo-cross, so chatting between riders seems trivial
Of course you can comment on other people's posts. But bundle them up and post your comments in 1 post then. The aim of my rule is that people don't post and then think and decide they want to comment on something else, too. Instead they have to think what they want to say, first, then put it into 1 post and post it. I just think that will avoid some confusion and chaos
Hope you understand why the rule is as it is. I think it'll work great, personally 
EDIT: Though you may be right about the post/rider... I suppose 1 post per rider wouldn't create much spam. Let's wait what some other people have to say about that, maybe the rule can be bended so everyone has 1 post/rider/day.

Based on what happened in EPIC, people usualy post a lot the first days, but give a month and you'll get 1 post / week out of them
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That would be good for those that want to, but we can combine posts into one block post. No reason to post 5 of them, when you can post one with multiple sections.

@Ollfardh - I am aware of that happening therefor I think just starting with 1 post/day will leave more unsaid and less chance of them burning up. I hope 
@NTTHRASH: Indeed, you can combine posts. I think the thread would look nicer with long, interesting posts spread over fewer pages instead of 100 pages but full of one sentence post etc. |

I agree.
Also, some role-playing posts have already changed a few things in the stats-division.
UPDATE: I'm currently making a records-page for every race, to add some depth to the calendar. When I am done, I will PM you if your rider holds any record of those races, so you can use that in the preview of the race.
Also, PM me if you think you have a rider who can hold a record somewhere. Please keep the profile and your rider's abilities in mind, though
However, I'm going to put a lot of races as 'new' races, especially the more tropical ones, so we can build our own records here!

I really hope we can get it increased to one per rider. Hopefully others agree

I know, but I'm not a fan of it. Oh well, whatever happens happens, it doesn't really matter.

There are some fantastic banners. Bakari's is the best, imo, though 
He reminds me of this real life cyclo-cross rider. He's from New Zealand and everyone just loves him, he has this great mustache. He's not the best around and he finished his first cross I think last season, without being lapped, and he's just so great

My favourite road cyclist is Jussi Veikennen, because in the Vuelta 2013, whenever they went up a hill and the camera showed the back of the peloton, he is just there and every year he wins a race, the Finish national championships. and one time he got to wear the KOM jersey at the tour, which is pretty ironic.

I think I'm spending too long on these, got 4 done now, don't know if I'll have the final one finished today though.
