I've decided to re-post my Fabio Duarte story in a new thread.
Graphics should be edited and reports made more detailed.
I've decided to try out the [Man] Game setup, as well:
This will be the thread for comments, ideas, criticism alike - the story thread itself will only be made up from posted updates. I don't know if it'll work, or if it kills of any possible comments. I hope it won't.

So - now the re-make of the introduction is posted.
I know some of you have seen it before, and I hope to reach the spot I ended at soon.
Do anyone have any ideas on how to make it less dark and square-like?
Obviously the colours should be altered a bit, but how do you make the shape more "round"? |

I prefered your presentation style from your first attempt and I think its a bit stupid using a seperate thread for comments.

It is, I suppose.
But I'm even more confused when I open up Guido_Mukk and A_Schleck's PCM stories - as I cannot keep myself updated with all the helter skelter posts and updates.
No offense, really - but I think it will be much easier to keep hold of a story divided up like this.
There's no doubt I won't receive the same amount of comments, however |

So - finally updated for the first time...
These are the season objectives!
I've changed the outlook a little as well. |

The next update - today or tomorrow - will be the Colombian Championships.
It's already played and at the moment I'm almost about to start off Fabio's month to shine; July.
Do any of you have any criticism, suggestions, ideas, etc.? Was the Langkawi race report too short, did I need a "race preview" first or something? After all, Fabio didn't play much of a part, and he'll need to improve his stats quite a bit before he does, I suppose. |

It's brilliant - and now he'll be easy to seperate from his team-mates in the screens!
I know that "small" NC's are almost always possible to win with a break, but he was in LOUSY shape, so I really had my doubts the last 10 kilometers. On the other hand, none of his team-mates were in-form, and it was our best shot. |

Yupp, it was 4th
He's at 73 MO atm - he'll need to ride at his best
But it's Fabio! He'll do it
I'm about to play the first stage of Österreich soon. |

Are the screens too limited because of the small size?
And Crommy - could you delete the comments in the Story thread? |

Shame about the crash ~ but since you planned to withdraw from the event anyway it shouldnt matter much, unless he is injured.
It may even allow him a chance to get in a breakaway. Go Duarte!

Sorry about that - done now
Screens are fine, although it would be nice to have Fabio's place written clearly

Sure, I haven't done it in the new update, but I'll do that later on...
Did I play the stage too cauxiously? He really didn't feel very good. |

Id quite look to see Duarte attack at some point. By not feeling very good, is that just a bad form of the day or is he slightly injured?
