Got just confused by the current free agent on page 1. So for anybody wondering, this custom free rider is made by nielsboy1998. Is nielsboy1998 actually planning on participating in the EPIC madness? Havn't seen him around for a while.
Name: Christian de Vries
Country: NED
Age: 23
Rider type: Stage Races
Short Bio: Christian de Vries is the old brother of Niels de Vries. He is more a stage-racer, than sprinter what his brother is. He is one of the biggest talents, but is still looking for a team.
Flat: 68
Hill: 76
Mnt: 78
TT: 77
Prol: 70
Cob: 55
Spr: 67
Acc: 71
Desc: 68
End: 68
Res: 65
Fight: 55
Rec: 68

Ffs, how is it possible that we missed him, even though we signed his brother.

Well, I guess he has to confirm the signing anyway.
I don't like the idea of strong riders being signed while the owner doesn't compete in this game at all, though.
Not sure what Ollfardh thinks

Actually, Christian de Vries should become an Accent Jobs rider. I have the accord of nielsboy1998 since the beggining of the game (you can check in the thread), but I haven't seen nielsboy1998 in the last weeks.

No, no, no, no and pretty much no. He is a free agent and will remain so until signed by someone else. You can't sign pre-contract agreements; this isn't football you know.
Otherwise, it promotes cheating by getting people to create riders after the deadline and you claim to have "signed him". I really hope Ollfardh clamps down on this quickly and harshly.
And I agree with Jesleyh, if nielsboy isn't active, then his rider should stay unsigned. There's nothing more annoying in a game like this than being beaten by a rider that isn't even interested in the game.

I don't care if people sign inactive riders, but remember it is the rider who needs to confirm the deal.
In this case, no transfer has been done yet, since the transfers aren't open yet. When they do, and Nielsboy posts he's riding for Accent Jobs, that's good enough for me.
Do remember, inactive riders won't do you much good in the long run.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

When all part 1 races are done I'll open it. 8 stages by my count.

Hmm, ''Inactive riders won't do you much good in the long run''
Will completely inactive riders decline? That'd be awesome

That'd be up to Ollfardh. 2 options:
1. The owner isn't really participating in EPIC anymore
2. The rider had really really few blogs, didn't spend any time on his blog.

Well, nielsboy1998 is active on forum (last visit was two days ago), but for some reason he didn't post in the last month.
Anyway, if you manage to reach him, you can have the rider.
I officialy quit signing Christian de Vries.

How do you make a blog if your rider has been barely mentioned in anything, just thinking for Firmansyah, and maybe a little bit of Pietor, he did do well in one stage though. None of my riders have done anything important. Only one even noteworthy (for being bad) is Cervero |

Can't reach him anymore? Too bad, he seemed eager to join this.

Than you write about them how disappointing they are, about their failure or just think of something, like a personal, stylized one-rider blog.

I didn't write him since then, but his lack of presence let me guess he didn't read this threads for a while.
