 Welcome to the 1st edition of "Weekly News" at PCM.daily - your #1 English PCM-site!
Since it's the first edition, we'll have to introduce the small concept first. Basically, all sites have at some point though: "Is this "news-stuff" enough to make it to the frontpage?" - and in many cases, it's never posted. But most times, they're actually good news which to many are useful.
Therefore, we've made Weekly News which tells the news which normally wouldn't make it to the frontpage. These are usually posted as close to the end of the weekend as possible. So, let's get off with the first edition ;)
PCM Spain Pack released:
Normally, this pack would absolutely make it to the frontpage, but since the website opened a few hours after it was released it wasn't mentioned. So, now we do! By many, it's called the best DB to date - and much, much better than the Atess DB. It doesn't have as many teams as Atess, but it does have 88 well-worked-through teams, plenty of new races (f. e. GP de Llodio, Tour of Georgia, Tour of UK), faces of a lot of riders which are true to reality - and of course, a lot of graphical stuff.
However, the most important thing, though, is the riders' skills and the realism of the results, and to most, this seems like the most realistic DB released to date.
The database can of course be found in our Downloads section. Also, please notice that a small fix for the database has been released. That can also be found in our Downloads section.
DB Nation goes into 2nd edition:
The pretty popular Nations DB which lets you play with the national teams has now gone into the 2nd edition. It now has more teams completed, more graphics and more realistic stats than before. You can download it from our Downloads section or directly by clicking the following link: http://www.pcmdaily.com/downloads.php?cat_id=1&download_id=91
PCM.daily League gets going:
Slowly, the PCM.daily League has now started with most victories for Chuck who - at this point - leads the standings. If you want to read more about the races you can check out Chuck's blog which describes the races ridden:

You can also participate yourself. Start by reading the rules, register for the league and search for players at the forum. Good luck!
Also notice that we're currently working on finding a prize for the guy who's leading the table at the end of January.
Cyanide Forum Awards has started:
The yearly awards at the official forum has started. These results will show who's been the best at making different kinds of updates for PCM, f. e. databaes, shirts, stages, etc. - and it'll also show who has the best humour, and who in general has been the best member of the community - the winner of the "Member of the Year"-award.

First poll ends - still trust in the world of cycling:
Our first poll has ended - you can find the exact results by clicking the "Poll Archieve"-link at the bottom of the current poll.
The first poll surprisingly showed that people still trust today's cyclists even after the Puerto case which is still to have a real outcome. 33 % answered that they thought that only between 6 and 20 percent of the cyclists are doped. The second highest vote-winner was "Between 81 and 99 %" - so it seems as if the Puerto Affair has splited the fans in two.
8 % voted that the thought all cyclists were doped.
General site updates:
- As mentioned earlier, we'll be down on Tuesday, but actually I also noticed that we had some down time during the night between the 1st and the 2nd - most weren't awake at that time, but I sat in a plane from USA to Denmark, so I didn't really have anything else to do ;)
- You can now view the latest 8 topics at the front page - on request from a member of the site, Thomas.
- The rules of the PCM.daily League has been updated a little to avoid confusion on some points. |
