La Società Rexhital per l'Avançamaintsch del Säp/The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge / Re: Application for Membership
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - Today at 10:50:52 AMHi @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù
I wanted to follow-up on my application for membership and also enquire as to the status of your own which was submitted about two weeks ago. Are there any updates concerning these applications?

Last post by Sir Lüc - Today at 04:40:34 AMALL-TIME STAGE WINNERS
Big leap by REX, who are one stage away from being just the sixth team to complete a season with 10 or more wins. Alas, their seven wins weren't enough to win the edition.
Winning 7 stages (1 in 3) but not the whole edition sounds pretty unlikely, but it's happened very often: also in TCAT Italy 2025 (to GHST), Spain 2023 (to the Cabana Boys), France 2023 (to MMM/Gagnheirs) and Italy 2023 (to BDC); all teams with 7 wins and no title. In addition, Spain 2025 also did not go to the team who won the most stages (DED, 5) and in Spain 2022 then-Gagnheirs won the same number of stages as the leg winner GHST (5). BDC in France 2022 won even more stages (10) without winning the leg, but there were so few teams that it was very likely to happen anyway.
Conversely, the Mençeis won the edition but only won two stages - the only team to win with fewer was Velocostă in the injury-affected TCAT Italy 2025 (just 1 win). The Mençeis are also only the second winner to be in the lead after the first stage (also happened to GHST in Spain 2022).
Two teams, Ardita and Manilows, took part in at least a TCAT leg but did not win a stage.

Last post by Sir Lüc - Today at 03:40:49 AMCongratulations AD! Nice to see a very close finale between three fundamentally different teams (only two riders shared by each pair of podium finishers).
This is the third-tightest winning margin as well - only bigger than Spain 2025 (98) and Italy 2023 (102). And as Glüc was saying, it's notable how the winning scores were so high. Last year's TCAT France had a similar winning margin but the top 4 teams had scores between 9449 and 9181 and the winner was outside the top 10K in Velogames (out of 30K); this time the top 3 are all above 11K points and comfortably inside the top 2K teams overall (out of 28K).

Coletx d'Armeux Rexhital/The College of Arms / Archdiocesan Coat of Arms
Last post by Mximo Malt - Yesterday at 07:57:55 PMGreetings to all,
I recently contacted S:ră Somelieir about reviving the Talossan Christian group as the Church of Talossa (Ecclesia Talossana). I was wondering if it would be possible to get a coat of arms for some dioceses (namely Murphysboro and Churchtown). Murphysboro will be the Archdiocese and Primatial See, and Churchtown is the sole suffragan episcopate. Would this be possible?
Thanks,
MM
