Yeah i'm in a position i think i'll have at least 6 in the top 20 today, maybe even more because i bypassed the time trial in my transfers.

But even so, If its not back up and people cant make their transfers for tonight, then its only fair to have 0 points all round

What about the people who made time to get their transfers done early ?

Why not start a list on another page of who wanted to change their team with the names of their transfers.

Whilst i appreciate values will not be known most will know who they were going to swap.

I can't even remember who's in my team atm - I'm not that organised. It's all done on the fly so I can't email Dave. Salas and Danielson to go in (I think) but I don't remember who was going to come out.

Aye, i suppose people are right and if it's not up and running then it's only fair to scrap stage - will be well peed off though as i've got a cracking team set up which could have got me mega points  19

I remember about 3 riders in my team, LL Sanchez, Hanson and TJ, I "might" have put Nibali in lastnight/this morning, but cant remember. I have more important things to be thinking of at the moment.

SO its not as simple as listing who you want to switch. Then without value's its harder. Although I can tell you anyone's value as i have a list of ALL riders in the game with their value  3

But in case, I'll have the dream team - the penalty points for today, because thats who i would have picked anyways  26

I dont know if i would be happy about nullifying the stage. The system was working not long ago as i've changed my Giro team for tommorrow and that was after todays stage had finished. So there's been a canny bit of time when the system was up and running fine for transfers to be made.

I logged in to make transfers at 7 30 ish this morning, yesterdays scores were not up so I didn't have a 100% spin on how I did yesterday. I had to go to work, and i can ask you if you had to make the choice between making life threatening decisions and loading players in a game what would you do? (I work in a position of seniority in a hospital, at the sharp end. i.e I do not sit at a desk and push a pen.)
I finish at 5 and know I have enough time to make transfers, when I get home, So canny bit of time, sorry not the case.

Yep, looks like its all gone pear shaped. Anyone know what the deadline is as I don't particularly want to spend every 10mins checking it out. Not exactly a good Friday night in.

The deadline was 7pm I think, they did say to me on twitter, they will extend the deadline if they get it back up.

I'm not sure when the stage starts though.

Maybe Dave should let us do our transfers after the end of the stage? Just a thought....

I tried to do transfers at work but was denied access as it detected the server as a porn site. Talk about getting racy!

Actually, I'm happy with my team for tonight. Can I still get the points and roll transfers on to tomorrow.  4

That's the problem with neutralising the stage. Some people will have done their transfers (me), some people won't (they'll be hopping mad), whilst others won't want to have done any transfers (unusual considering tonight's stage I admit).

I suggest prizes for everyone?  3

Latest from twitter on the road.cc site about coming back on line:

"No, sorry sitting here listening to 'hold music' while the server farm engineer kicks the box… well, I hope he's kicking it"

That was about 15 mins ago......  20

Why allow transfers anyway? Make a team and stick with it......

Hi all,

Yes, as you've probably all noticed by now the game server is down - we're trying to find out why and get it back up. The new server had been working fine which is why we decided to make the switch over today - to increase the speed of the game.

There is an engineer looking at it now and as a contingency we are also seeing if we can switch back to the old, slow, not falling over server.

In the meantime we realise that some of you need to make your ATOC stage 6 transfers. So I'm starting an ATOC Stage 6 Transfers thread - if you post your transfers on to that Dave will update the game accordingly.

Trouble is, I can't post my transfers without seeing the game - current team, future team? I dunno who's even in there never mind who I'd like to be in there. And the stage has been running for 60-odd km's by now so we all know who's in the break which is a bit tough on anyone who has already made their transfers.

I would suggest - wind all teams back to end of yesterdays stage. Nullify todays stage and give everybody 4 transfers for tomorrows stage.

Yeah offering transfers now is a bit late, With the race underway and not knowing my full team, then i can't decide who i want to switch  39

Just a plea for those of us playing by purest rule to have today's point - can understand re-setting teams and nullifying point for those making transfers to make things fair for them, but it would be unfair on purists who lose a more hilly stage.
