It is quite possible! Nobody has challenged me on two of my farms yet either, though I have had 9 challenges on my US game. Could just be the level of your horse, or times you've won that lands you in a zone where most players aren't at a level where they get the choice to challenge you yet.
Yes - did few challenges already
Click on your Competition Transporter - this will give you 3 tabs at the top - in first tab you got your competitors. Second tab allows you to choose specific horse, for specific type of competing. I have the same horse chosen in all three - my best one of course. Third tab, gives you a chance to compete with George, Lester and Tessa as well
So back to tab one - choose one of the opponents(click View) , check what stats your horse is getting against their horse - I picked the best stats of wining for my horse in Racing !!! If this is what you like - click "start" and the race will be in progress !!
You will get results for winning & for losing (in bronze league now)
To bare in mind - each time, when your horse races, your truck transports it to the race-spot (little story I made up to explain), so you use up fuel - the fuel meter is at top left corner >>
You can compete pretty much, till your fuel runs-out
So far after few races - and two partial refuels, Im in bronze league at lvl4
Hope this helps a bit , cheers to Texas !!
and 2, can you confirm there is yet MORE to come with the horses? I refer to the as yet "Not Available Yet" lock at the bottom of the stall page in the stable.

Perhaps they are skipping yours/mine if you have a high level horse as the challenger. Like you, I have had few challenges from others, only 1 so far.
If GGS could cancel all leave and suspend lunch-breaks whilst they attend to this urgent emergency I would be most grateful ^^

If there wasn't any advantage, why bother to buy fuel in the first place?
SirGeorge - I think when you open the Kickoff message, it will tell you , your starting rank is BronzeV and you gotta click "Okiey" in order to participate in challenges - I guess, that means you agree to show your horse to other opponents !!
Everytime I open my Competition Transporter, I see 3 challengers and their stallions - the only time I can not compete is when my fuel is below "12" units needed for each competition...
nostalgic!
It is paying off for all the hard work i did training my horse and doing temp farms:)
I am bitterly disappointed in the horse ranch so far. Please prove me wrong.
So I re-loaded the page after clearing my cookies, now getting an error message saying that I have "not enough energy"
98/100 fuel is not enough?
Edit by PINJO: merged posts, please use edit button
I am rocking!
Cheers to All!:D
Re-load again and it says I only have 2/100 fuel now. So what happened to all those other competitions?
The same in our co-op (
Still 3/3 which we bought yesterday, fix it please.
And it needs to be more than 3 in 24 hours. Otherwise, there is no real shot at getting very far along in those rankings.
I think it's only here in the first season there can be very big difference between horses meeting each other, because everybody starting from the bottom.
If I have understand instructions correct, when next season start up, the strongest horses will start in higher ranged liga's than the lowest liga (Bronze V)
I think you are missing the point here. It is correct as stated. Notice I specifically and repeatedly reffer the the system as a whole, even the extract quoted by you includes it. I think if you read the whole post again you will agree.
For every challenger there is a player challenged - can't be any other way in player versus player. So since there are as many challenges - chances to win ranking, as there are responses to challenge - chances to lose ranking, the number of oportunities on both sides is equal. This is statistical inevitability for the system as a whole. In individual cases, unfortunatelly, the random engine may bring and obviously does bring variety of results, but always within the perfect balance of the system. Again, see my original post - every bad-lucker is matched with a (randomly distributed) good-lucker(s).
And yes, buying more fuel gives you more chances to win points (individual advantage), resulting in somebody else getting more chances to lose points (randomly distributed disadvantage - if you will), as both sides always match in quantity.
And yes, game makers want you to buy more fuel, both for dollars and gold. They said it openly in one response that they wanted the players to be active in challenging, not just passively sitting and soaring up the ranks without any effort made.
So while there was several options how to go about winning and losing ranking points, the game makers chose this one, to encourage and favour activity against pasivity, but not at the expense of overall system ballance described in OP, as it would be statistical impossibility.
If anything, maybe keep lobbying for random engine rework, I would think, as this is the main culprit responsible for all perceived mess in this realm. I don't think anything will ever be done to rob gold users of ther "golden advantages". To comfort you be aware that their collective golden advantage will be randomly distributed around the whole pool (based on Leagues and Classes) and you might be missed out. You certainly will be missed out if you stay in Bronze League.
Just let me remark here in response to some comments: Would you expect the runner sitting down beside the track to win against the one running on the track through the whole race? Or would you call the one sitting disadvantaged against the one running when he lost the race? Or the "olympic" system unfair for not rewarding him equally for his sitting?
Sadly I have to agree as well........all that work on the island/viking farm/greenhouse for league rankings and a few minor rewards? Pointless! Whats next.....a gambling farm? A casino? Its going a bit too far now in my opinion.
Hey Yaskoska,
there are roughly 50 days left to the season. It ends towards the end of calendar week 12. So there is still plenty time left.
As for some of the error descriptions you gave, we are already investigating most of them. If you would like to get more info on them, please make sure to check if there is already a bug report in the tech section and/or create one if there isn't any.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Steffi
The latest update brings some changes to the horse ranch, which isn't available until level 16. Once you are level 16 you'll be introduced to the horse ranch, have any of you made it that far yet?

Also wanted to add that my "small amount of fuel" has reset in timer, but not back to 0/3 as stated by several above.

But i have a question, if my horse is in training session and i can not challenge someone, does this mean the opponents cannot challenge me as well?
If so, i' ll make sure my horsie is always busy training herself :whistling:
Not taken the ranking to seriously,I like the update.
