How much do you currently know about the management game?
I like to think i know enough i join, but without playing it probably not that much. I have followed the man-game in all my time as a member and before when i was just browsing. I've read the FAQ, flicked through various Team HQ's and race discussions. Anything i don't know I'm sure i can find using the search, or by asking. It cant be that complicated Pfft

Why do you want to join the game?
Without a ManGame team how can you be a true PCM.Daily member? I love the idea of playing against real humans over a full season. I have played all the online cycling management games but none come close to the ManGame. It would just be the best to be part of the single largest part of the site. Frankly i feel jealous of those who are involved. Its like a whole other community over here, and one i would love to join at least to say i was part of it

How do we know that you will be active?
All you can do is trust. Big bonus is my Uni schedule. I only ever have 3 hours of lectures in the week, and only another 3-4 hours of work a day. As you can see i am very active across the rest of the forum. I make stages, have a story etc. With unrestricted internet i am always on Daily. As said no way to guarantee activity, but i swear to be awesomely active Smile

If selected, how do you intend to manage your team?
Well i am massively into the British cycling scene. So my first idea for the team would be to have mostly UK riders, based around maturity. Most people focus on developing youth, i would focus on those in the twilight of their careers. If that doesn't appeal then i have a second idea. I am in love with Seattle. So at least 1/4 of the team will be American, preferably from the Washington/Oregon area. 1/4 of the team will be Bulgarian (this stems from a long running thing, its hard to explain here, pm if you want to know more, and that goes for anyone...). So that leaves half the team. This will be 1/4 over 30's, as i like to give them a chance and a grand send off. The final 1/4 will be whoever i can get. But the team will be as FL, TT, SP, CB, focused as i can get, same for the UK based idea. I seem to be waffling on here.

Summary
Read the FAQ, followed from a distance for 1-2 years. Followed major things for 6 months. Should know enough to jump straight in.
Biggest part of Daily. Cant me a 'true' member without a team. Constantly active and interesting.
Lost of free time. Active everywhere else in the community.
UK based over 30's. Mix of US, Bulgarian, over 30's and anyone else (probably the second one actually). As involved as is possible

Should be everything, feel free to ask for more or clarification
Hope i am successful.

Hey SN, here's my little application to join the man-game! I know you guys look for active members for these spots, and I admit since the vuelta ended I've been basically nowhere to be seen. But I can credit that to my exams which just ended so I've added PCM.Daily back onto my bookmarks tab.

Anyway, I know a bit about the man-game. I've seen some really cool teams with awesome presentations and clever ideas, and I'd love to be part of it. I know that it involves signing, how that's done I'm not too sure. I assume you pick the fitness schedules and the start lists but that's it I'm assuming right?

I'd love to join the game, because I love the idea of being in charge of my own team. My own riders, my own shirt and my own thread to look after and customise to my team. I have seen the satisfaction that getting a win or just a nice top-10 finish can reward some players of the game, so I'd love that feeling, even if it never comes around.

As I said, I've been pretty invisible on the forums recently, but in the past when school hasn't been taking over my life, I've been a contributing member. I was nominated for best new member last year which was a big honour, but also shows that people seem to like my presence on the forums. I definitely plan to stick around on the site, and if I got a man-game spot that would be extra incentive.

As managing a team goes, I'm not sure. I definitely want to come up with a cool new idea, but once I've had a look through the database I think I'll be able to narrow it down. A big thing about this for me is the media thread, so I aim to keep that one of the most active on the site if I earn a spot.

I'd really love to be part of the MG for 2013, so I hope you decide to give me a spot.
Thanks,
Teddy.

How much do you currently know about the management game?
To be honest, not too much. I know the game won't be run in career mode, but single races/classics. I know you have to set your own goals and you just have to hope Cya-logic won't make you fail horribly. I know you can select the races your team will ride, but you have a maximum number of race days (don't know the number but I read it somewhere.)

Why do you want to join the game?
I was involved in the P-MG and I really liked it. Now it's closed and I miss it, so why not try to join the actual Man-Game?

How do we know that you will be active?
I was quite active at the P-MG I believe, you can probably find me on nearly every page there. However I started a study and have less spare time, still I think I have plenty of time left in the weekends and evenings.

If selected, how do you intend to manage your team?
The same way I managed my P-MG team. Get some old riders who can still do something and fill the rest of the spaces with crappy young riders who can develop. Most likely I will keep my P-MG team name, if no one decides to take PrivatBank as their sponsor. From there I'll try to sign as many Ukrainian and Russian riders as possible.

Other things you might want to know:
I do not own PCM 12, which you will use if I'm right.

Yours,

How much do you currently know about the management game?

I have seen how the man game works in my short time as a member. You sign riders and build your team up as you try to progress into the upper divisions. This sounds very fun and i would definetly like to do this for a long time.

Why do you want to join the game?

The management part of PCM is limited and management always been my favourite type of game. The process looks very rewarding as your team gets better as well. I am enjoying being part of Letrik's custom season (even if it has'nt progressed very far yet) and this also looks like a very fun opportunity.

How do we know that you will be active?

I have hardly be a member at all and my post count is very small, but i have commited to Letrik's game and i would be a very involved member of your game. I visit the websites multiple times a day and this would give me even more reason to.

If selected, how do you intend to manage your team?

My team would be british and would try to nurture young british talents towards future sucsess. We would try to focus on stage races but any british talent would be welcome.If you want to find out more you will have to pick me!!

Thanks
