Take your time, I think a break for a short while suits me

Indeed, take your time and take on the final weeks of New Dawn with lots of new energy. Your pace has been amazing so far, but it's still a marathon, not a sprint.

Good luck at school!

Cheers guys first half of the week went very well! Hope to finish my internship on a high these next two days.
Preview for Abu Dhabi Sand Circuit is up, expect the race on aprox. Saturday.

Send in tactics or - maybe more importantly - calendar plans for your rider. Only one week until the World Championships and a cross finishing on Saturday 22h with another cross on Sunday (in another country!)... Some need to think about how to handle this best

Looking forward to sand weekend, can confirm Lachy is racing the Abu Dhabi and then straight to the Cauberg to train hard. I might even be able to sneak in a post or two before the race.

Really, really nice overview when the season's approaching its end, Ian, that was a very interesting read

Good to know that "The Scope" cares so much about Mazzarelli's late season win and his 4th positions obsession

Yeah thanks for that Ian, plenty to play for for the Cookie monster.

He is getting his head down in Arabia and looking forward to the sandy races.

Interesting read Ian, I can't wait to find the answers!

Sorry, no race today. Got into spring cleaning and lost track of time!
I'll definitely try to do it tomorrow, though!

I can wait a bit longer for Powers first win

Discover how the Coca-Cola Trophy concludes here!

Enjoy

Exciting race, even without Sylvain to support. Can't wait for the world champs though.

What a thrilling finish for an exciting trophy you made up Ian! I'm sure that Shonak and Smowz will enjoy it as well


Not too sure about TMM though lol.
Even Matt was so excited that he decided to sit back and enjoy the show

Clearly it was the runnig that did it in for Power. Lots to work on in the off-season for him

No UCI points for overall competition?

And that my friends, is a perfect race for Fonterra-Genesis.

No, sorry, too hard to implement in the current game engine I could do it but to be honest, I think the UCI points per race are enough. If you win the competition, you probably earned most of the UCI points available for all individual races anyway

It would be an additional reward, but I think the game drives on role-playing enough to have winning the competition being an award enough. I hope

Sahur probably tomorrow evening.
After that, it's the Worlds, so I hope for some major activity then

Race probably later today.
And I continue the statistics, this time I did Francis N. Vague.

I plan to do at least Cornelis, Cook and Lipawsky before the Worlds.
You can definitely use these statistics to write a season review when the season is over if you are planning to write a review

So here's Vague's individual statistics: (and below Mazzarelli's updated)

UPDATE? What also struck me is that Vague is the only one of the two riders who has been injured himself. Okay that sounds weird. I mean that Shonak chose to make Vague injured for those 4 races.
If I remember correctly TMM did it, too, with Power.
I took out Jack Smith myself...

So my question to you is this: injuries: keep it strictly role-playing or do you want me to assign injuries to some riders from time to time? Because injuries do happen and some players might hesitate to choose for an injury themselves.

What do you think? Btw, I will make inactive riders injured myself, this is only for active players.

I'd leave it to role-play. I remember with Power you did describe it as a nasty accident that took a long time to clear up, might have mentioned an ambulance i don't recall exactly. Just seemed logical.

Perhaps you could heavily hint in the report whether the rder picked up an injury giveing some guidance to the person as to whether the rider should be injured or not?

Yes, that's the way I've been doing it now. You and Shonak picked up on it perfectly. Others are clearly afraid of injured riders
But I'm also more about leaving as much as possible to role-playing, yes. Thanks.

EDIT: Also, you can ask me for these individual statistics if you want to have them of your rider(s). Or you can do them yourself
