we've got so many "PCMdaily <insert game here> league" are we having a PCM.daily award for that too? - SSJ2Luigi (Café Pedro 11: The Spammish Inquisition)
PCS League Created
As you may have guessed from the quote above, this week's news is particularly biased towards leagues of all sorts. Except the League of Extraordinary Gentleman. That's not getting a reference, otherwise this will go on all day. First up is the league for the new PCS game that Ian Butler has created, simply search for "PCM.Daily" when you've signed up for the game, and take it from there. The rules are all explained on the website, so why not give it a shot? I'd give you a standings update, but I haven't had my request to join accepted yet, but next week I will. Honest.
Velogames
The first Velogames league of the season for the Tour Down Under has ended, with IanRussell taking the PCM.Daily league title. Despite leading into the final stage, roturn could only take second - which is still a sore subject for him, I'm sure - and Alakagom took time out of his busy schedule of pointlessly delaying the Man-Game to finish third. These results also had an impact on the inaugural PCM.Daily Velogames Championship set up by ringo182, with IanRussell leading the pack heading into the spring classics, though it's still anyone's title to win.
Fantasy Cycling Season Update
Remember last week when I told everyone that there hadn't been a points update for the Fantasy Cycling Season? Turns out I was wrong then, so this week I'm proving that I've learned my lesson. After the completion of the early season races, NicoVirenque leads - his success fuelled by Simon Gerrans and Dayer Quintana - with ember a close second thanks to impressive results from Jay McCarthy and Eduardo Sepulveda. Those two members top scored in the Tour Down Under and Tour de San Luis respectively, while OZrocker top scored in La Tropicale Amissa Bongo despite only having Adrien Petit in the race. And, in a shameless display of self-publicity, I feel I must point out that I top scored in the New Zealand Cycle Classic, scoring more points than all the other managers put together. Some would say that was because I had the only rider in the race, I'd say it was simply skill and good judgement.
Something New
As many of you know, at the end of the year we have the PCM.Daily awards, including the award for Best Stagemaker. However, as part of my admin application I suggested the idea of a monthly stage contest that could potentially feed into this - either by replacing the voting at the end of the year, or instead simply providing information to voters who don't often frequent that section of the forum. Until now I haven't had time, but I'm pleased to announce that February will see the first PCM.Daily Monthly Stagemaking Contest. More details will be released on Monday, and the winner will be voted for by you. And as I know how much we love a league around here, maybe it could even lead to a stagemaking league? |
