Season 17 through 20 (approximately)
I changed the nationality of my team for one reason only: I wanted to do more in OCM, and by changing the flag, I could manage the German NT.
Being frustrated by the meagre results of the NT, and bored by the continuous successes of the team, I decided I needed to boost the NT alone. There was definitely also presumptuousness involved, caused by steady success and the related constant income.
Therefore I started scouting Germans, trained a few, some were pretty good.
But then there came a sudden huge sell-out --- one by one the Caribbean riders were sold. The big question remains, why? I was certain that this economical folly would mean the end of EEO as a Top5 team. So why the heck would anyone do this?
There were a few reasons:
-I was extremely annoyed how a certain team made its way through OCM with obvious shady transfers. Of course this was not cheating, but it was so opposed to the gentlemen behaviour I was used to that I needed to protest (As this is OCM, of course this protest was to no avail whatsoever)
-I also did not feel like competing against teams like this, for me this is fun, not a real competition and overambitousness just puts me off
And very importantly
-I was bored by Division 1 races
-I always enjoyed scouting most and with the fresh funds and no aim in the ranking, I could waste away 100's of thousands of OCM$ on scouting, but this happened a little later ---

Thomas Munoz could always use some friends from Guam... which has the best NT shirt on the game... ;)
Yes, 30 or so of my designs were elected back then in the competition, but not all were deemed "fitting OCM general style" afterwards so some were lost I believe :( Good that OCM general style does not apply anymore....
Good design. I have made the shirt all the new nations + some older nation that missed a shirt.
And it is me who did it :)
Hope you are allowed to move then :) Bahamas got a nice NT shirt :)
I want to change to Bahamas, the country of my favourite rider ever, Broderick Rimmer and suitable to the past EEO and my future plans - the NT post has been arranged to change already.
What nation are you changing to? If you get it approved.
It could be - if my request for nationality change is granted, which I doubt. (Although so far the talent feature has yielded so incredibly poor potentials for me, every few months a solitary "good")
Could this be a challenge for you EEO? http://www.cyclingsimulator.com/forum/general/260424
I do agree, that it is very much a simulator game with very little management - but I will address this later in a PR :) ...
LOL.
I'm so happy in Div. 3 & 4. That's always been where the true soul of OCM has been. Teams higher up, especially most of Div. 1, have generally turned the game into an economic farming simulator.
there was a bunch of teams back then, but one team, what was its name, climb4death I think, was definitely the most successful. Probably some teams are still around, but then do not read the forum, that helps :)
Damn you sprint4live
