ALL PLAYERS

[Carole]

THROUGH ALL THE MOVES, THE UPS AND DOWNS, FIRST ME AND ASH TRIED TO KEEP THE GAME GOING AND NOW , ME AND JODI , WITH SOME HELP FROM KRISTIN DURING AUCTIONS.

I POSTED THESE RACES WAY AHEAD OF TIME, THIS IS USUALLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST RACE DAYS EVER ALONG WITH BC DAY.

IF NOBODY PARTICIPATES WHAT IS THE SENSE IN KEEPING THE GAME GOING??

WHY ARE JODI AND I KILLING OURSELVES MAKING IMPROVEMENTS, TRYING TO TAKE CLASSES ON HOW TO AUTOMATE SOME OF IT, UPDATING RACES , ETC??!!!

I AM GETTING READY TO MOVE OVERSEAS AGAIN AND WILL HAVE TO DELEGATE SOME THINGS OR JUST SAY TO HELL WITH IT ALL.
WHY BOTHER IF NOBODY WANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GAME
( I HAVE ALREADY VOLUNTARILY RETIRED A LOT OF MY OWN HORSES , I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE IT BEGINNING AND HAVE BRED GOOD HORSES , BUT TO GIVE NEW PEOPLE BETTER ODDS, I KEEP RETIRING MY OWN.)

EVEN HAVING THE AUCTIONS TO GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE AT INEXPENSIVE ADDITONS, BROODMARES, ETC. THE LAST AUCTION WAS MEANT FOR NEWBIES AND THEY DIDNT EVEN BID.

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

I EVEN LET MY DAUGHTER PLAY TO GIVE US ANOTHER PLAYER , AND I USUALLY END UP HELPING HER ON TOP OF ALL MY OWN STUFF.

WE WERE GOING TO SWITCH TO REAL TIME NEXT YEAR, BUT I DONT THINK IT WILL HAPPEN NOW.

IF PEOPLE WONT ENTER A 21 WEEK RACE PERIOD I AM NOT GOING TO TRY TO RUN 52 OR MORE RACE DATES..

I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE WHOLE THING, JODI PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR DISCUSSION ON HOW TO HANDLE THE GAME DURING MY MOVE.

Carole;

I apologize for being AWOL this weekend - I was out of town.

I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and Jodi for maintaining the game. Even though I'm a newby I value the game and am willing to do whatever I can to assist you.

Please don't give-up.. tell us what you need and everyone can help a lil bit.
