'Its On Like Horsey Kong!' - THE GRAND FINAL 11.30pm!

OH GOD COME ON

USA for the win blates.

Finale just coming....

Wow.

Least I finished.

This whole game has been absolutely cracking DML. I hope I speak for everyone who played in saying that your efforts have been appreciated.

An honourable
second, Japan shall accept
Congratulations.

All I can say is thank god thats over!



Simulating 27 races has been arduous, but I have enjoyed the mythology if you will that has been created - and the backstories behind many of the horses. We shall not easily forget that early excellent run of Goof Troop, the uselessness of Phyllis and Spider Baby, the growth of Lasty and the pure white brilliance of Chadoneigh, the powerhouse of Jajinsky and the constant high profile failings of Garlicky Aftertaste.

Thank you to all of you who have made the game fun to run, you could have lost interest throughout the games admittedly elongated run, but you stuck with me to the end and put faith in me that I was creating a realistic, reliable and fair system to simulate races which I hope you feel I delivered.

Special thanks to Ropes who has put so much effort into the bookie side of the game, which really added a huge dimension to the game which I am hugely grateful for - so thank you Ropes! I'm sure he will announce his winner in due course.

So thanks once again for giving this game a shot.

Just for the record I believe IOLHK! > IOLDK!

Ciao and Miaow!

DML

Congratulations
and celebrations England
prosperity looms.

I think...

WHO THE strawberry float MADE THIS GUY TEAM LEADER?!?

Words utterly decieve me.

NEVER FORGET.

I blame your poorly worded rules. I'd like to also note that my choices helped Japan take second place.

My glorious training took Lasty and made him into horse even true samurai may use. Only after racing shall Lasty show his true strength on the battlefield.

Wait, words deceive you?

It's just like Cash Mountain/Arsenal/My life.

Never quite enough

You're glue, Bananas on the Bridge.


Thnx for running the game Dimil. It's been alright. Kudos to Ropes too for the bookies side of things.

I think I had something to do with that as well.

Shame I didn't make the wildcard stage, Lasty would have kicked some equine arse. DML, how close were the votes for the wildcard entry?

Also, great game, cheers for running it!

And the English pull through! Fantastic race and what a run from Jajinsky. Well done, team.

I await the final result of the bookmaker’s competition for an English sweep.

Cheers for running this, DML.

It was a great game, DML done good

Hopefully Chardoneigh can return

Drummy's race selection helped me a lot. Winning the first race was a good platform for an already strong horse.
My only real area of weakness was the start so all 3 points went on that after the semi. It worked well.

Great game DML. Gutted the US couldn't win the final with a Door 2 Door victory.


As for some constructive critisism, here is mine:
Whilst I enjoyed an early confidence boost with Goof Troop and my wins, I was totally engrossed. But as soon as I started losing confidence the game felt completely out of control. What I would like to see is a combining of the betting with the horse racing, even if it would mean having two people run the game. I'd see it as each stable has £10'000 (for example) in their pot to begin with, then they can buy training for their horses with their money on top of the normal stat boost/loss of the races, but the money is stable-wide. So winnings can be gambled (No £20 limit) for possible further stat boosts in the future, or simply spent for stats. The main caveat being that in order to win the Team Championship, you need to have the biggest cash pot at the end of the game (winnings per horse would decide Dubai).

I think that would be the ultimate form for this game but I realise it would add more work for the organisers.
