Kinda surprised by the very negative point of view on U23 races from some, I think they're great, as something different - and from a role playing point of view it absolutely makes sense that some teams make signings specifically for them, rather than all about ranking point possibility.
Just to be clear, I'm not being negative about U23 races. I enjoy them very much and think they are great both for role playing and general interest. However, I also doubt that there is a problem there that needs to be fixed, or that more than a few managers makes signings specifically for l'Avenir. Certainly they couldn't for the worlds anyway because no one knows what course they will be.

I love the U23 scene in the game, it is something special to aim for and one of the reasons for buying both Grosu and Zmorka was their long eligibility for Avenir and U23 races. We failed a bit since Zmorka missed U23 title on three occasions and Grosu have never won an Avenir stage iirc, but it was great fun anyway and i plan to buy few more young guns this year. still the main reason was building for future with them...
I agree that most needed are guys aged 21-22, who can be lvl 2 or 3 alreadyy and could add some depth to certain states, which miss it (eastern europe wink wink).

The U23 is very important for the role playing aspect of the game. I agree with you a lot here SN. Also thanks for the reply. I kinda knew you already had this covered, but just wanted to make sure

I like to think that Grosu is because of Zabel and Zmorka got his U23 TT-title stolen by Haugard last year :-p

We move to yet another month - Any news except for "Wait - The MG will be great again" ?
It would be highly appreciated if information would be given, and to be honest I don't think it is too much to ask. We may not need to do anything, but several of us have been playing, doing stuff, and participating for years.
If Info can't be given, atleast let us know what the purpose of doing exactly that is.

SN earlier in the month - "Just don't have any time currently ... It will progress at some point".
I also asked if anything can be passed on for other people to do, but apparently there is nothing to pass on at the moment.
I wish i could give a bit more than that, which is basically "wait, it will be good again". But it was all i got from SN when i asked him about the subject. You can see SN hasn't even been on the site for over a month now so it's not like he's just neglecting the MG. He's just not around full-stop in any capacity.

So in other words, he SHOULD pass over the depeche, but he WON'T. Much like CrueTrue stated a month ago.

You should get active in ICL in the meantime SotD, transfer season is to start soon again.

I know what you mean, but there's no way I would've let anyone else run EPIC, so we'll just have to wait for SN to get back. Or join ICL
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

If you contact him yourself offsite i'm sure he can explain himself better. It is a shame to come to such a halt after such a concerted effort from many people to get through the last season at such speed. And its a shame when there are so many members/managers willing to offer up their services.
But it would still take time for SN to explain things to someone else, and if he doesn't have time to sort things out to pass on he won't have time to explain how to run the whole thing to someone else.
I doubt he saw this lack of time coming or he would have sorted something out to not come to such a complete halt, or his own complete abcense from the site. I won't hold it against him because it won't be SN being selfish. I'll simply fill my time with other things.
