1) Are you guys taking the piss?
2) "Before you get swamped" erm, too late.
3) There will be a list of requests that I will have, and the order in which they come will be based not on first come first served, but rather preference of user/how much they contribute to the site.
4) Yes I will do all the requests, but in future do NOT be selfish and request both 2 "classics" and 1 stage race all at once (especially when it's not even for PCM08, which this thread is under). I'm only one guy, who has a real life. To put things in scale, to do those stages yesterday took me all day (from 10am to 10pm, with about 2 hours break for food). Obviously considering I have uni 5 days a week, and training 6, I do not usually have so much free time.
In other news, stage 1,2 and 3 of Maggot's requests may soon be completed.
well, first of all, we cant apperciate your job here enough, thats clear as sky - respect to you B)
and at second, there is no hurry from me, take as much time as you want, good things needs time , but i just hope that you wont forget my requests, because i would love to have them
wish you good luck Edited by 0buKKaKe on 10-11-2008 17:56

First off, it's not "my job here". It is not a job, it's something I do to further increase peoples enjoyment of the game, a job would infer that I am getting paid, or are made to do this. I am not in either category.
Forget? I do not forget requests. If I were you, I would refrain from replying to this post, take it on board, and if you request stages again make sure you think clearly before you post anything that may, or may not, be taken the wrong way by me.
I have no idea if it's possible, but it's actually held on a major auto race course.
So i do not know if it is in anyway plausible, but here is the track map and the same site has some pics of the track. https://roadatlant...kmap.lasso
Stage 5 Suwanee - Dahlonega 214.7km
Stage 6: Blairsvill/Union County - Brasstown Bald/Towns County 142.3km
Stage 7: Atlanta circuit race 100.9km
10 laps of 10 KM each.
Thanks, do it whenever you have time, no huge rush.

well maybe i chose wrong words like "job" ... and i think you know that my post was ment in a good way, maybe its my english i dont know, but you said that you were making stages for many hours in one day, i just wanted to say that its not necessary at least that im not in a hurry on that request and you may take as much time as you want and still not be bothered
btw hope that this wouldnt be misunderstod as well as previous post Edited by 0buKKaKe on 10-11-2008 18:14
No, it is not misunderstood this time. I was aware that your intensions were in the right place, but I'm not a sucker for someone to be taking advantage of. I am aware that I am the only Stage Maker that calls PCM Daily their home, so don't abuse the fact I am willing to do all this work for people. This isn't aimed just at you, but more for everyone.
Would you relax, please? No one has said anything 'bad' about this - people just requested a bunch of stages, just like you ask people to in the thread opener.

Mate, you need to take it easy.
You've opened this thread saying people can request stages/races.
Then you're flying off the handle when people do? I don't get it...
As far as I can see, no one has been disrespectful and everyone has asked nicely. I think most people appreciate that it will take time and don't expect the stages to be posted tommorrow.
Someone makes a request, then you fulfil the request - if and when you feel like.

From the 11/11/08, request just ONE race at a time. ie, 1 classic, 1 stage race, not 3 or however many in one go. It's not fair on other people.
Again, I ask that people forgive my rashness, and ability to type before I think.
And in all politeness, 0bukkeke (sorry if your name is wrong), please can you let me know which 1 of your races you wish to be made first. The same applies to anyone else who has requested more than one race at a time.
My first point
1) are you guys taking the piss
was referring more to the fact that I was overwhelmed by the amount of requests I recieved in about 5 hours, and that if people were expecting me to churn out a stage race a day, they would be let down. And that some people had requested so much for themselves.
Please do continue to request stages/classics/whatever, but do keep in mind (as you all have so far) that I am quick to jump to the wrong conclusions right about now, and I cannot give dates or time scales of when I will do a stage, so please, never ask.
I also never forget. Ever. Like an elephant for that matter...
Again, sorry for my badly phrased words, sentances and general bitterness in most of my above posts.
you can make Brno - Velka Bites - Brno first, and Vysocina Tour 2008 is less important of requested ... but as i said before, and dont take it wrong pls, i would love to have them all, no matter if its afrer month or two or year, but just to have them someday, hope you can understad that, and again thanks for all youre willing to do for us
Thank you for understanding and having patience with me
Yes, I will do your requests, but obviously I will do your first one, and then other peoples requests, then come back to your second request. It's just fairer, plus you are requesting an 06 stage, which I'm not sure whether it will work. So it's going to be an 07 stage, without any 3D added stuffs, so hopefully it will work for you.
Gimme a stage race!!!!! 32 stages, tour of America I will let you do all the research and I demand it by the time i wake up tomorrow morning...
Just kidding.
How about the tour of Utah? I'd like to see it included in the Management game. Only the stage lengths are in Kilometers (excluding the crit) so I am going to do the math as best I can for you on each intermediate sprint/kom banner.
Stage 1: Won by Jason Donald from a small break and a large pack finished only seconds behind: A hilly rating would be best I believe.
Stage 3: Won by Ricardo Escuela in bucn sprint. Criterium https://www.tourofutah.com/docs/Stage3...Stage3.pdf
Stage 3 is a 75 minute Criterium so there is no distance marked on the PDF. Lets say the average speed is 50km's an hour for 1 and a quarter hours the toal distance covered is 62.5 km's. There were intermediate primes offered that did have small time bonuses. You could disregard those or make a curcuit race of maybe 3 or 4 laps with sprints each time the riders hit the finishing straight, it could make for some interesting racing. Its up to you. The riders contesting those sprints are unlikely to be GC contenders, especially after the first 2 stages.
Stage 5: Won by Tom Zirbel, Louder takes overall, 9 seconds ahead of Caldwell and 46 on Glen Chadwick. Time Trial https://www.tourofutah.com/docs/Stage5...Stage5.pdf
There is no profile for this stage on the PDF But I and fairly certain it is flat, flat, flat.
Elevation: No idea but it really doesn't matter I guess.

, but i just hope that you wont forget my requests, because i would love to have them
