Anyone know how to remove the green and white circles around riders in game, when I looked in the shorcuts menu the symbol looks like a really small "z"

I've got an idea for a story that I think I'd really enjoy. Only thing is, it would start out on the older versions of the game. Eventually it would require PCM 14, so I am thinking that would make it okay to have in the PCM 14 section, and also allow me some time before buying the game (so hopefully I can get it in a sale in autumn f.e.)
It would be really confusing to have them split up into the different story sections imo as I will probably progress through older versions of the game quickly and it might go back and forth.
As long as people dont think its "cheating" or w/e then I think its okay to have in the PCM14 section.

That should be perfectly fine imo, as we already saw many stories that had past editions of the game in them (f.e. Shonak used PCM12 for Cyclo-cross in aCross the Road, Mre used a bit of older versions for introduction of Comeback and so on).
On another side, 5 months passed until I started my last PCM story. This can't be real life  . But seriously now, I do have one little team in plan for a story and I think that should be right decision. However, I already changed my story opinion for like 17 times since PCM14 got released, I got like 100 (some of them really different and creative) ideas, so I can't be really 100% sure about it.

Yeah, I just wanted to be sure, as I know some might just see it as me trying to put a story in the 14 section where stories are bound to get more views than the older sections for the most part.
I used to be crazy with stories too. Even when I didn't write stories, I would play a career in PCM with a team for a max of a week before switching to a new team. It was actually pretty great because I probably tried playing as every PT team at one point and most got to atleast the 2nd season (lots of simming). Nowadays I pretty much only play PCM for my stories.

Diffecult, , since you don't have pcm 14 available at the beginning. I would say start in a older section and once you start usin pcm 14, ask a admin to move it go the 14 section.
then again, Mre used a different pcm versioj in the beginning of The Comeback and that was allowed and mpardo fantasy story has migrated to pcm 12 but is still in the 2009 section. and my console story also in the 13 story section and not in the TdF section but barely anyboby visit it anyway
edit: dear god, that's a huge bentancur, i dont even bentancud even apllies anymore

Its quite tricky. The order Im using the older games wouldn't be chronological either, so I could be jumping from PCM 08 then to 12, then to PCM 10 then 13 then 11 and then 14 for example. At the same time I'd really not like to move the thread around as that could be confusing and I would like to have it in the PCM 14 section

@valv321: I'd put it in the forum that you see that story using that game version the most (in the long run). If it's all pretty much equal then I don't see a problem with just putting it in the PCM14 section. I'm assuming you are using the other games to lead up to PCM14 so if that's the case then of course the PCM14 story section is the way to go.
I'm interested to see what you come up with, it's been a while. 
@All: I literally can't play PCM unless it's for a story. I've tried to do normal career modes but I can't stick with it for longer then 3 days.  It's no fun unless I can tell somebody about my experiences.

My story uses PCM 14 now and it stays in PCM 13 stories. However, doesn't seem like the following has returned

I've been playing PCM14 for a while now and am really enjoying it. (Besides the horrendous rider numbers.  )
So I'll probably be starting a more career focused small team story in the near future which I can update with reports straight away. As a change of pace of the actual story-lines I try to write into 'Il Bimbo d'bronzo'.

I will perhaps join the trend and make a story. Got a lot of ideas and the one that makes me most excited is to have Cult Energy as a team , but the story starts in September (Right now ) with the transfer period and I will either wait to see what they buy, or make my own version of it. Any thoughts ?
Also would like to hear what you want to see too ?

well a trend isn't really the right word for it as (in my opinion) the amount of stories appearing is much lower compared to last year

If you went with Cult Energy i think it would make for a good story. Lower level starting teams are often more interesting and more motivating to play with, all of which is good for a story.
I wouldn't start in September though, just weird. Either go from the normal 2014 start with the normal 2014 team, or you could sim through a year them start with the 2015 team? It's a suggestion.

Yeah perhaps I'm open to suggestions and agree with you 100 %. Could just start from 2014 , then report the sponsor goals races and then make something creative with the transfer period. But I won't start something , that hasn't a good theme and idea

A good suggestion for a lite Database, with no overpowered stats ? Thanks

Though I shouldn't do it because I am biased,
pcm.daily expansion pack, of course.
It is one of the tiniest dbs and probably has the best stats. |

It's really strange to be an active member without a story to write. However, that might change soon, as I have few story plans (as always, of course). It's still not 100%, due to being really busy lately, but I think I can take some time to spend on old-good story-writing. Will see.
And indeed, PCM14 killed desire for writing a story for majority of story-writers. I am definitely one of them. Stories were much more popular back in time, especially last year.

@Admir
Change in membership combined with the summer time. I predict an increase in popularity over the winter period as real life cycling takes a back seat.
A story from you is always well planned and looks great, just need you to stick with it for a few months consistently.
I'm finally gonna get some real PCM14 time in soon and i hope it's not as bad as people make out, cause i really want to write a proper story with screenshots and all that jazz
