Race chat
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2022 1:09 pm
Hi there!
I had a thought today that could help to change tactics in groups without changing the core itself. At least I hope it has no effect on the core.
As the thread says, it is about the race chat. How about creating a separate chat window for escapes and allowing them to switch back and forth between the main chat (pelOton) and the group chat so that the group can coordinate with each other and use tactics if necessary. In real life, no one (except the TV cameras / microphones) can hear what is being discussed in the group. So we would come pretty close to that, wouldn't we?
To keep it as clean as possible and not create thousands of chats, there are a few conditions.
1. Teams in escape >= 2
2. Formation of escape >= 10km
3. Formation of escape before finish line > 30km
4. Stage / race is no TT or TTT
(5. Maximum number of active chats) - has be defined
In order to differentiate the chats, they need to be named accordingly. I am thinking of the kilometre of origin and the name of the team in the group that has the best ranking of the season. In the rare case of several groups with the same teams, they might have to be numbered. As soon as the group has fallen apart, the final kilometre is added in addition to the start.
Whenever the group breaks up (not the pelOton!), the chat becomes inactive, but remains viewable for the former teams and after the race, all chats will then be visible to the teams. The spectators can follow and see them chat live - cameras and microphones, you know.
To switch between the different chats we can add a drop down field / list that allows a direct jump into the favored chat. Added here as "Switch Chat".
What do you think about it? Feeld free to comment and ask all questions you have.
Cheers
