I think I speak for everyone enrique when I say that I've stopped reading your essays.
Brevity is a virtue and you'd have much greater success at getting your point across with concise arguments and short, to the point posts.
Which is not addressing the problem at all, when is the cheating going to reversed?.
i refer you to my reply in the first thread, again. also to the terms and conditions of the game, and specifically this bit:
I think that pretty much covers it in full. Just because it's not the answer you wanted doesn't mean it hasn't been addressed.
The 'cheating' will not be reversed, that is the stated position and won't change. If this is a problem for you then take your £10 and stop playing the game.
That has no legal standing whatsoever, when is the cheating going to reversed?
it's not going to be considered cheating, and it's not going to be reversed.
you have three options:
1) carry on
2) have a £10 refund
3) keep on posting in this thread if you think it'll make a difference.
oh and if you do 3), don't forget to keep on liking your own posts
Actually Dr I for one not only read Enriques entire post but actually found it quite pleasant and an honest light hearted comparison between a real world financial company who are actually governed by rules and regs and road.cc who aren't , his comparisons around what could have happened and what has actually happened are quite accurate and also to an impartial viewer quiet enlightening on how this has been governed and handled ...
Let's give him credit where it's due
I won't : )
When is the 'cheating' going to reversed?
Dave i hate to put a damper on your legal jargon but the very quote above indicates that the company in question made reasonable precautions ....so playing devils advocate here.
For the benefit of the complainant could you outline what "reasonable precautions" said company took to ensure the clock change wouldn't have an adverse effect on the game play the following morning?
As I said just devils advocate so putting that out there ( no I don't want my tenner I'm enjoying the game and the banter)
I think you should take it straight up to Brian Cookson and the UCI if the matter continues unresolved to your satisfaction
Thank you!
keyboard warriors!
Jeez you'd think people would have better things to do than moan about something so trivial.
I missed the opportunity, so what. The most it would have cost someone is A dhb Glitch long sleeve jersey.....
Nice try backflip with the "Deep breath everyone" post! Unfortunately some people have followed their deep breath with a mass exhalation of guff (none of which I have been able to bring myself to read).
I may have never used the word "guff" before in a sentence. Ho hum.
Lets get racing again people!
However (!)
Road.cc should block! 
I say block (!) the accounts of those who had the 'gall' to 'sneakily' and 'criminally' exploit the server clock error, namely Gkam, Ray and Wig Billy, and any other 'offenders' that can be confirmed in the next 02d 15h 49m to prevent them from making changes to their accounts after (!) the race has started.
If you think about it, it's the only fair thing to do. Those of us who don't care will play the game without tampering with our selections because we see it fit to play that way
Those who want to play the game by selecting the breakaway will have a chance to do so and 'undo' the damage inflicted on them in the previous competition and 'repay' the 'perpetrators' with a dose of their own medicine!
That (!) is Justice (!) with a capital 'J'! I say (!) 
You see, northie, what went wrong was not that they got the points, and you didn't (!) it was the fact that they got the opportunity to 'cheat', to play with knowledge of the breakaway, a knowledge that was not intended to be had because the race deadline is supposed to be before the race starts, and they took it (!). So I propose you (!) get the same opportunity, too!
To make things right for you! 
On the other hand, maybe Dave should allow you (!) and just (!) you to pick the breakaway in the next race. Maybe you can email him during the race or maybe you can post your selection on the forum for all to see, like Gkam did, so that you, too (!) can get to experience the thrill G and Billy and Ray did, knowing you put the entire breakaway on your squad! Yippee!
You see, you don't get the points just because others did, you have to (!) be willing to do what they did, 'cheat'!
For gods sake will people stop calling it cheating, its not - the chance to change your team was open to everyone, not just a few but EVERYONE and some people made their transfers at that time some didn't.
So how is that cheating ?????????????????????
The points will never ever be reversed so get over it and stop being a complete muppet.
Can I ask.....did you take advantage of the "loophole" ?
Are you dismissing the way northie feels about this?
So yeah, it's still cheating "cunt".
Ok ....that's a bit harsh but I'm guessing you two have previous ..
Someone here seems to think they can "police" "this place".
I guess that's what happens when they get brainwashed.
Northstar
Give it up, by resorting to abuse you have lost the argument.
My post from last night seems even more appropriate.
The argument was lost in the previous thread, when Dave set out what was going to happen, but Northstar decided to go on a one man vigilante style rampage and just demand things. Slowly hooking in a couple of comrades, but as has been the case, is being ignored by most and liking their own comments just looks stupid.
LOL
OH.THE.IRONY.
I rest my case.
Northstar
Have you never made a mistake?
An old boss of mine once told me: a man who never made a mistake never made anything.
LOL.
Nothing was set out - lie. (The "argument" is still as valid as it was when you decided to cheat.
I have "hooked" no one in (they have voiced their opinion of their own free will - you know what freedom of speech is right? ; ) ) - where as i'm sure you or others have, it's pretty obvious : )
Also another thing that needs to said is at first I wasn't that bothered, it was someone else who started this - I suspected it would be corrected in good faith - alas i was wrong which was when I jumped in.
Yes you do look pretty stupid Gkam, amongst other things : ).
They are referring to me, it's funny because I couldn't care less about that, it's just yet another thing they seem to be "attacking" me with.
Sorry if im confused by the above comment but are you suggesting I am one of those that have been hooked?
I have always been and always will be my own person ....
I have asked stumps if he exploited the system without an answer
I asked the general populace if anything would change ...you answered that
I pointed out to Dave that ,1, the use of Godwin law as a form of censorship nullifies it's use and , 2, asked a question based on his own legal jargon both of which have been ignored
I have suggested north was out of order for use of the c bomb
I believe all of the above were legitimate statements/ questions which I as a paying individual had every right to ask/ state and expect a response
I have stated I am satisfied with your answer so how have I been hooked in?
Again if I'm confused and this wasn't including me then I'd be happy to hear confirmation from you on that
Edit: I'd like to know how you can see who has liked comments because I'm pretty sure I haven't liked any of my own
As have I, next?
I couldn't care what you post about FoS i know more about it than you (or anything for that matter, you and others have shown your true colours).
It's very ironic who is dragging this back up now ; )
