I still can't believe Brouwers participation wasn't forced from the start really. Don't get why you were/are so against his inclusion?

Three more things:
- inactive riders like Andrews, Sithembile, Ghita, Christian De Vries etc. may not be selected.
I felt like he was inactive enough to belong to that catorgory because even though he was active enough during parts 1 and 2 he openly quit story games all together

Because Brouwer has been pretty much inactive for the entire part 3, and most of part 2 as well IIRC.

So Brouwer will join those inactive riders in disappering at the end of the season? I mean if Jesleyh has openly quit it's logic right?

Yep, I fully expect him to be removed if Ollfardh wants to avoid hypocrisy. It's a shame but Jes has openly said he's given up so that's the way it is. I'm also not going to put him in the startlist for the same reason.

I'm tempted to do it, but I'm sure Dippofix would object.

I'd be willing to remove him should I find an adequate replacement.... possibly Birtles.... we can talk about it in a few days, once I've made some enquiries, okay?

Well, you removed other riders after they'd signed contracts

No, I believe he stepped in as the contract was being sealed. Brouwers has had a contract for months now, so there's a pretty big difference.

There's also a big difference between being inactive and pro-actively stating you will no longer be taking part. The second one is a bigger reason to remove a rider than being quiet

Well, what was I supposed to say? Yeah, we're still corrupt as hell, but we're doing a better job at covering it up
Brouwer = Belkin, Belkin = Ollfradh, Ollfradh = UCI.
you know the same reason that Champion System will get a TdF wildcard next year.
CCS = Kim, Kim = Ollfradh, Ollfradh = UCI (it this won't happen, I'm really really surprised)

Sorry, but that last post really pisses me off. I never removed a rider while the season is ongoing, so why would I have to do it with Brouwer? And the reason that I give people wildcard is because they have good applications, not because they have a rider of mine.
If I'm going to have to defend myself for each race Belkin or one of my riders is involved, I think I'd rather just stop with EPIC here, cause I won't be having any fun hosting the game like this.

I'm pretty sure he's joking.
I just really don't see why Brouwers is becoming an issue NOW. I mean it was known that Jes was quitting, but nobody ever said anything about the contract being terminated. Then suddenly, months after the signing was made, with only about half a dozen stages to go, everyone wants him out. I cannot begin to understand where this is coming from now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Champion System makes it to le Tour, but not because of Kim, but because of Silvio as manager. You yourself Luigi have stated what great manager content Silvio has in his HQ for example.
