    Can someone explain to me how these achievements work for premium members…
    So I had Westra in my team for the Tour of California, and he won the first stage, but i didn’t get an achievement, should i not have gained the following?

    Stage Podium
    Podium placing on any game stage

    I thought the achievements were quite obvious what they would be awarded for, but now I’m confused. Should they appear straight away?

    I was thinking badges for
    I was thinking badges for poor performances. Something like a badge for getting 0 points with riders who are actually in the race. Easy to manage but not if you are actually trying in the race.

    Along the same lines, maybe a badge for having the most number of people abandon from your team in one stage? Either that or one for having 3+ people abandon.

    Then some purist specific badges, one for managing to get a full team through to the finish of a grand tour (called ‘forward planning’?), one for getting no riders through to the finish (or less than a fixed number, called ‘chute master’?) of a grand tour and things like that.

    Given that the badges are for premium members who all have purist teams on their account it might be worth looking at some purist only badges.

    Do you have a box of lollypops in the store cupboard. Could send one out each time someone gets a badge. I only suggest this as you all clearly have too much time on your hands L)

    Seriously what about a badge for biggest defference in highest position and lowest position on stages of a grand tour. Eveyone seems to be complaining of inconsistency lately. eg win one stage then come 1000’s on another. On a similar theme to the bookends thing 😕 Quite easy to play for though I guess.

    Maybe a TT winners badge to go along with the sprinters badge and mountains badge, as the Dr says, as for it being too easy to predict, there aren’t all that many TT’s throughout the season, so getting it right all the time may not happen, especially during the middle of a tour etc, or if you have Wiggins, Martin, Cancellera etc all to choose from for the stage

    That’s the benefit of doing the scores 😀

    Managed 7th place in the Algrave, Paris-Nice and Catalunya and 9th in Romandie on my standard team plus 6th purist for Pais Vasco.

    what do you mean by ‘Scores’ is that the less popular races?

    It was a joke 😀 I run the score updates for some of the races and ran some of the early season races (scores, roster updates, stage updates etc).

    One of the benefits of taking the smaller races seriously is being able to get the harder badges that are nigh on impossible to get when 4000+ teams are competing.

    That’s a point, if you want exclusive badges Dave then some grand tour specific badges may be worth adding, stuff like top 10 on a GT stage, top 20 at the end of the GT etc.

    Dunno, just went a little badge crazy… :O

    Just thinking about what’s scored, you could always do a ‘playing it safe’ badge for if a team scores a certain number of points just from jerseys or if they score some points from all the jersey standings (youth, GC, points, KoM).

    Also, most combative. A badge for picking the most combative rider on a stage should be a good one and easy to implement.

    Perhaps a TT stage prize
    Perhaps a TT stage prize although that might be too easy to predict?

    How about a 220+ points badge? 180 is fairly easy to get in the mountains, a higher badge would be more difficult to get.

    What about a single rider score prize? Picking a rider who scores 60+ points or maybe set the bar even higher? Set it high so you can only get it from picking a breakaway rider. 60 may do it as it’d be higher than the maximum for a first stage sprint win (35 + 10 GC + 5 PC).

    Then a badges badge 😀

    does anyone have any
    does anyone have any particular badges they’d like?

    probably do six more cause that’s neat. clearly we’re going to need some more total score ones.

    other things that have been mooted:

    bookends: picking first *and* last on any stage

    jersey comps: mountains and sprint. separate leagues for these, with intermediate KOM point and summit finish points counting for the mountains one, and intermediate sprints and flat stage finishes counting for the sprint one. badge would be for a podium placing in one of the leagues.

    No, nor do I. I don’t play purist much though, so my haul isn’t too bad considering.
