You never heard Wiggo say that Froome is a d***head in that Tour he won, but he was thinking it
Everyone knew he was going to sky but he went out and said to win Le tour is like the champions league, you have to be at man u(re) ( ok that's not a quote ) and he's at Wigan

Jandal7 had an idea to write a few words with bots in his team.
I said, good idea, try it, but from another perspective.
He said: Okay, but I want him to be a d***head. Like Wiggo at Garmin.
Hence the Wiggo discussion

Ah, ok, I read: Okay, but I want to be a ***** like Wiggo at Garmin.
and I was thinking, that's a pretty strange goal and how does that relate?

The way you wrote it
EDIT: I don't want anybody to be a d***head. Except Vague. Without that he's just some lifeless young Walloon with a mild talent for Cyclocross.

I'm back!
Expect this to pick up pace again soon.
I have also been thinking a lot about starting the road-racing equivalent of this.
However, I had to come to the conclusion that I couldn't run both, maintaining quality, so I had to abandon the idea, because I prefer keep this thing going!

I would lie if it hadn't cross my mind that a road version would be fun, however the good thing about CX is that its a small vivid world. At the road, we would get a large world, with much filler stuff. People would want to make their own schedule, you would need reports for lots of the stuff, tons of filler riders and teams.. CX works good as it is and I think the implentation of some summer races for selective riders is a very nice idea.
Looking forward to the upcoming races. In summer activity naturally drops, I'm sure some users will start to write stuff again come September & autumn.
@Jandal: "I was half-joking" Yeah, I get it that it was a joke, thought it was funny that's why thanks. No worries.

Yeah, exactly your points, Shonak.
It would be much more work and the world would be too big. So therefor I decided to stick with this.
Also, this is already in season 2, so no contest
Okay, next preview is up. Read it here! It was hard to write after being away from it for 10 days or so. Need some time to get back into it

Really nice to see that Dao did well recently and hopefully as well in the next race.
Still need to catch up a lot. Give me another ~10 days and all my exams are finished.
Sorry for not posting a lot recently. Hope to improve in future.

Interesting post from Bauer, expect a post from Sylvain replying to that soon, although it may come at the same time as the next race report/preview.

Well I guess I owe you all an explanation.
Lately, I've been unbelievably busy. I've got school (August exams), but mostly things are very hectic because we're in the middle of moving, both my brother, my sister, my mother and myself are all moving this month, in August and in September.
I honestly haven't had 10 minutes to myself during these days, I've stuff to do every day, hell, every hour.
So for now, I don't see where I have the time to do this. So I'll either wait until I find a couple of hours, maybe next week or the week after, or I put this on break until after I have settled into my new home, but that could be as late as September.
Sorry about this, but I really don't have any time. I do have the motivation, but I don't want to deliver quick and sloppy work.

Aaaaaasrgh it's for a great reason though, hope it all goes well and I'm sure you'll have the same (probably more actually) eager players when you get back to it
EDIT: So much for the beat Pedro to 100 pages...

I have good news and I have other news
1) This game is far from over. It'll continue as planned, hopefully for seasons to come. I have confidence in it. But:
2) The break is going to last another month or so. Reasons put shortly: sold the house, everyone's moving. Program used to run on my brother's ubuntu, so he will write a new program in Java so I can use it on my laptop when I move. He's got exam until early September so he'll make it after that. I'm moving from now to early September myself. By the time I'm settled in my new home, my brother will have the program ready and then:
3) The game will continue, somewhere around the middle of September. I expect it to pick up its old pace instantly. Sorry to everyone playing for the long break, I hope I didn't lose any players because of this. However, I think it'll do me good. In fact, the summer time is probably the least interesting time to host a game involving cyclo-cross, so perhaps this'll even turn into an annual summer break. But that's for later.
See you in September!

Nah, looking forward to when the racing starts again.
