Earlier today, we gave our members another chance to win Pro Cycling Manager 2010, and it's now time to reveal the winner - but before we do so, let's have a look at the runner-ups:
Savo_NCL guessed 13.023 comments, and that's very close - just 63 posts away from the actual number which, at the time, was 12960. Alexkr00 took third with a guess of 12874 while jph27 took fourth, having guessed 13080. The winner? As always, click 'Read More'.
While the Germans and Benelux members have enjoyed the game for a couple of days, it's now time for those who have bought the download version. Several members have reported that the activation keys have been sent a couple of minutes ago - meaning that Nexway is releasing the game 3 hours earlier than announced.
Perhaps, Nexway has learned from Metaboli's mistake: They usually tried to send all the keys at the same time, leading to a breakdown. Hopefully, we're avoiding that this year.
PCM.daily releases simple 1996 DBs for PCM09 and PCM10
A few of you may remember Bernth's 1996 DB for PCM07 - well, we've now ported the most important parts of his project to PCM09 and PCM10, so you can play with Bjarne Riis, Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani and co. in not only PCM09, but also PCM10 which is 'formally' released during the night between today and tomorrow.
In these DBs, we've included the teams and riders from back then. To be exact, there are 80 teams, 1338 riders (159 free agents) and 96 rider faces. The DBs also come with the needed jerseys, mini shirts and logos. The races included are the ones that come with the original game (although with real names). Same goes with the equipment. It should also be noted that the prologue stat is not taken in use in the PCM10 version.
It's designed for Single Races and the Season Mode in PCM10, and it hasn't been tested in career mode. It should work alright, though, for those who's interested in trying. Enjoy!
PCM 10 Release Day: Yet another chance to win the game
Kami and A_Schleck have been the two lucky people so far in our "Win PCM10"-competitions. We want to find another winner, though, on this day where the PCM10 keys are to be sent out during the night.
I'm not very creative when it comes to competition ideas, though, so this time, you have to guess the amount of comments that have been posted since the opening in 2006 and until now (11:40 CET). This includes comments to news, articles, photos, etc. - but NOT downloads (due to the fact that the internal counter doesn't count them).
As with the previous competition, the one who comes closest wins. Please send your guesses (and usernames) before 21:00 CET today to:
PMs and guesses in the comments section will be ignored.
It should also be noted that today's winner is unlikely to get the key today, so if you're in a hurry to get the game, it's probably better to go ahead and pre-order the game right away ;)
One hour ago, our "Guess the amount of posts"-competition ended. Thanks to Excel, it didn't take long to find the person who had the best guess - but before we reveal the winner, here's the correct answer: 285.593 posts.
Other than the winner, there were two others who were within 10.000: 2nd-placed Crommy (5594 off) and KA_93 (9372 off). The winning guess, however, was 283.087 - just 2506 posts from the correct answer.
... and who's the winner? The 'Read More' button has the answer ;)
