Is the League startlist up to date? There are a few changes in the provisioal startlist not showing as starting in the Fantasy League.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, there’s an excitement to seeing your transfers build up like you’re earning money in a bank account 🙂 It’s quite an accomplishment to save them for a ‘block’! 🙂 With the lump sum, I don’t think you get that beautiful feeling when you see 2 transfers appear the next day! 🙂 You only see them disappear every day like a bank account being ‘drained’ 🙁 I’m a little attached to this game 🙂

I think that accrual makes

I think that accrual makes you think more about the timeline of the race and that it makes it all a bit more seat-of-the-pants because an unlucky crash can force you to spend precious transfers when you really wanted to save them up for a block change when, e.g., a race hits a group of mountain stages.  I suppose it’s a matter of taste but I just felt that you had to pay more attention when transfers accrued at a rate of two per day.

There was a better ‘pacing’ of the game. To have all the transfers ‘sitting’ there, in a lump sum, makes it, for me, more ‘inactive’. I think the accrual throws in the element of ‘hmmm…’  … ‘save them or spend them’?…  Almost like real life, when you get paid, ‘Do I spend it or save it’?  🙂 Just trying to describe a feeling…

Thanks for helping out Enrique :).

Gkam hasn’t come and gone….

Gkam hasn’t come and gone…..he is ALWAYS around, working on the background of the game, just doesn’t use the forum because he can’t stand it’s format, nor can he be bothered checking in on it all the time.

I got an email yesterday saying that Enrique has limited access to update startlists, because we are short of hands at the moment, fine, whatever is needed for the good of the game. But just know, I’m always around, I just choose not to post very often at all

I wouldn’t 🙂 Thanks for the vote of confidence 🙂

I’d be happy to  see Enrique help — the game is understaffed, especially on weekends.

I seem to remember Gkam once saying that Enrique would never have access. I don’t know why he shouldn’t — I don’t really think he’d delete all the data.

 We should not have to scan through other sites to find startlists…The information should be on this site…

I agree with Steve…    I’ve been here since 2011 too and seen the development of the site… I’ve seen drheaton and Gkam come and go and TER be steady as a rock for us…  Now Gkam isn’t around nearly as much, which is ok with me, but at least once in a while, and very regularly for the Womens races, he’d put up start lists and do the scores… I know at some point Dave let some other users handle the scores and populating start lists…  I know a lot of us, including me, of course, , would be more than happy to help out with scores and start lists!

  I always think that since we had the development of the game as it  is, with all transfers pre-loaded, as opposed to acccrued, there’s been a slight decrease in attention from the administrators, and less banter on the forums… I’d personally like to see the return of accrued transfers.  I don’t know why I liked them so much! 🙂

But, anyways, maybe we can get some help with the scoring and the start lists so we don’t exhaust poor TER…

Stevespro is indeed bang on,

Stevespro is indeed bang on, saying same as me but better, its not cool to lay it all on unpaid volunteers yet charge for the game.

No prizes, no accurate startlists in good time ahead of races, sometimes over 24 hours for results points updates.

I’ve also been playing for five years and it was genuinely a lot better run when it was free, God knows how that works.

 

And no official response to this thread yet either…

I’m assuming you can still score points for greyed out riders then?
I actually enjoy doing the research myself but would be pretty annoyed if I missed out cos the roster wasn’t updated…
