Off-Season Community Games

Just because the main cycling season is over doesn't mean there isn't fun to be had here at Daily. No the winter time signals the main period for community run games, and right now there are a few proving rather popular with you members.

SN continues his run as Host of I'm With Stupid 2014. Round 4 is currently still running and the battle for the overall victory is till tight between the Top5. As always you can join in answering the questions at any time, and the more people involved the better the game runs.

4 Truths 1 Lie came back to life recently with the return of The Hobbit. In the last week it's proved pretty popular garnering consistant interest if not high numbers of participants. The concept is simple and it's a great way to learn about some of the other members on the site.

And very recently (as in today) two more games have begun. Mre's Amazing Race has gottn underway, and even if you don't have an official place that doesn't mean you can't follow and still enjoy. Lastly Marsupilami's CTWWYPCM has kicked off it's Third Edition. The game has slowly improved over the year and this latest edition is the most complete yet.

Man-Game Madness

Let's begin as usual with the Pro Tour. La Vuelta rolls towards a thrilling conclusion were Tenorio, Santander, won Stage 19's MTT. Heading into the final 2 days Jose Alarcon, Simply Red Bull, holds a slim 29" lead over Alberto Contador, Aker-MOT. It could go either way as this GT has delivered constant action and surprise.

The PCT is in action in the Netherlands for the ZLM Tour. Despite the punchers best efforts Van Stayen, Venchi-Ferranti, holds the race lead and looks set to take yet another big result to continue his outstanding season.

The CT finished up in South Africa where Jose Mendes, Bank of Ireland, took the honors. Then in Barcelona Damion Drapac took a surprise win again for Bank of Ireland. The Irish team fell short in Guatemala where ONCE-Eroski and Jaroslav Kulhavy came away with a big win. Currently in Austria where Haas, Risa-Ergon, has the lead after a solo breakaway.

Story Game Summary

EPIC's season is well into the closing stages now. Beijing and Hainan kicked off in China and the autumn classics have delived some great racing. Only a handfull of stages remain to conclude the season but there is little at stake in terms of rankings beyond some changes in the minor placings. Alongside this applications are again open for new managers and riders.

The ICL is also warming up for it's second season! Renewals are just about to happen and the divisions and teams have been confirmed. It's sure to be a busy place in the coming weeks as the tension and transfers build up.

Thread of the Week

Another week of constant comment across the forum. As mentioned above the community games have proved ever popular. But it's a close call between two threads this week. Close but no cigar is the brand new Cafe Pedro 10: Mostly Harmless which came into being this week. No, thread of the week this week is Interviewing PCM.Daily Users. The new personalised questions and deeper interviews are decent and there was plenty of interest in the concept. Basically less spam than the Cafe.
