Wo willst dann Rennen posten bei denen du tatsächlich STrassen folgst und die tatsächlichen Prozente nimmst?
Im "real races thread"? That's not real races either.. that's FANTASY RACES on REAL ROADS.
Why I say: NO to all Allagen races?
Exactly because others take their time to reseach their races. And it takes longer if you follow the real roads. It's harder work. What you do is: Take Kathmandu, ok, it this height. Then Mount Everest, ok, it's 8850. Now we cycle on top of it. That's basically what you're doing, not with Everest, but with other mountains. Easy, takes little time compared to what others do.
And like you as well, everybody is happy if one of his/her races are in the calendar. But now we have people who take 1 hour to make a race, follow the roads. Another one makes a race that doesn't follow any roads. Just from a to b, no roads, who cares, just guess how tough it will be, splash, 20 minutes.
The one that took an hour deserves the honor of having his race in more. So as long as there are better researched fantasy races than yours, I say NO to those Allagen races, they simply don't deserve taking the place of a race somebody spent 1h our so to design. Not completely opposed to an occasional impossible completeley unrealistic fantasy race. But then don't use real names. A la limite a real country, but even that... just make it on that christmas tree flag thing...Why not? Start google earth and make a race on mars. Ok... why not from time to time. Or just make up a race from your mind...Oh, what would happen if we have this combination in the end? 5 times 5, followed by a steep downhill, back up with 5 5 5, 10 Km flat, 5 again, then 2 down, one flat. Can the sprinters get a sprint? Mountain sprinters? Do the classic riders get away? Ok.. no problem having that from time to time, declared clearly as complete fantasy (like that Romanian thing there) But not all the races a designer makes, and to take 2 real places and then build something with no relation to reality at all is "cheating" the normal user into believing that there are actually roads there. Take the time to make your races, like everybody else, make one instead of 2. And the world is big enough to find hard mountain races as well.
But this 2 places, make something up, just isn't fair to the others who take their time, the ones that research their races deserve to have their races ridden. Not some stuff climbing K2... easy... just look how long it takes me to make a K2 stage, will be posted here when it's done...
Kraftsystemrevision! Include the distance!
Basics reform: Give blue a chance!
Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
Got a carrot from FL. But they threaten to take it away now.
