I know I asked this a while ago, and the response wasn't very enthusiastic, but I think we should start looking to build our numbers up again, as we do well with a 12-15 member racing team. I've now pulled both of my games out of the regatta.
As I'm typing this, Sonia has left the co-op & DD will be sailing solo this week. That leaves 7 racing this week, or 8 as Sonia has returned lol!
So, how does everyone feel about this currently? Do you prefer having people pop up every now and then to join, would you prefer our team to remain as we are, or should we actively seek other players with a similar racing style?
For the latter, I can place an add on the Playrix forum giving details of our racing style etc, they can pm me and we can then discuss their application etc.
Just to add, I have already pm'd one forum member who looks to match our racing style, so I'll see whether or not she responds.

There is an application in the game.
As a latecomer, I don't feel like saying much here. But frankly, I don't see a "similar racing style" in this Coop. Just ppl having their style - which is OK, IMO, but it's not a (Coop) strategy. Maybe you Oldtimers remember it from earlier times ;-) for now and searching new ones, I'd think you'd have to reconsider/re-define, incl. re. new members like Babs and myself.
just a thought :-)

DD, I've reread your post a few times, and I still don't really understand what you're trying to get across, so I'm assuming that you may have misunderstood my post. To try to clarify:- I'm looking to see whether we should look at increasing our racing members, purely so that when some opt out, we don't have a very small racing team. At these times we are often up against more perfect scorers. We have been racing against perfect teams of 8 before now, which is quite tough. My questions are whether members prefer - - having people pop up every so often to join ie request to join
- our team remains as we are, possibly not taking on anyone new
- we actively seek other players with a similar racing style
The 'similar style' I'm referring to, is our Co-op's racing style/strategy, not individual racing styles within that. This is noted in the Regatta Participation Threads, which I have just updated. I don't know if you saw Misty's post on the forum, but what she offered, matched our racing style, which is why I pm'd her. Therefore, I would still ask how members feel about increasing (or not) our racing team. Re: babs, as a friend of Cathy's I was willing to take her on as long as she opted out of the regatta, due to her only just starting the game. This is something we've done previously, and I am always willing to take on new members, who want to find their feet while opted out. |

Thanks for your reply, Pink, and explaining your reasons for accepting new members. I'm sorry my post is unclear, but don't see how to explain it better why I see the strategy topic a bit differently. It doesn't matter for the rules / the race / the Coop anyhow, so just ignore it.
:-)

As nothing's here, how has the discussion in the Coop chat re. this question turned out?
And will you stay not-racing, Pink?
