There is, of course, a weird way to look at this. Could it be that what northie is saying is ‘I want to be able to play this game with the knowledge that I don’t have to be stuck in front of a computer or looking at my phone 1 hour before and after the race starts to make sure these opportunistic asses like Gkam, Ray or Wig Billy, don’t take advantage of the system if there’s another faux pax with the race deadline and they get to score more points than I do in my favorite game’?.

And that, in a way, is a fair sentiment…

Hmmm… 😕 I suppose if the game meant that much to me, I, too, might become traumatized and not be able to sleep or lie peacefully at home wondering if the game clock has been reset by the moderators for their own benefit, thereby beating me at the game in an unfair manner… 😕 Hmmm…

Hmmm… 😕 I suppose if the game meant that much to me, I, too, would become neurotically fixed on this and might be able to let it go…. But, 😕 , hmmm… that is so very unlie me… 😕

Hmmm… 😕 I really am starting to believe I should do something else with my time… 😕

LOL, i wondered when that
LOL, i wondered when that silly fool would chip in.

Let’s just leave it fellas and play the game…. it’s obvious that it is a genuine mistake, so let’s give them a break.

No it isn’t : )

This is really interesting 😕 You see, northie is right. It wasn’t a mistake to put those riders in the break on your team. It was a very sneaky, ‘opportunistic’, ‘aprovechado’ way of getting more points in the competition… which required that you be very much aware that there was an opportunity to be taken which others who play the game might not even be aware of, which would net you points others couldn’t possibly get unless they noticed the same system mistake you (!) did!

Having the race deadline creep over to to when the race had already started and the breakaway established, that (!) was a mistake (!) 😕

But what shall remain a mystery is, what if an email had been sent out, announcing, ‘The race deadline for tomorrow’s stage has been mistakenly set for one hour after the stage start and the system will not allow a change at this moment. Please make your team selections accordingly’, would northie have ‘played accordingly’ and not be complaining now? 😕

So, what is that bothers northie? Is it the fact that he didn’t do it, too? The fact that he lost out on some points? The fact that those points gained by others will forever make him look, on paper, like a player of a lesser calibre than Gkam, Ray or Wig Billy, because they scored more points than him in one particular stage or in one competition and, therefore, maybe even in the whole season? 😕 Intriguing…

Given his suggestions:

The posted transfer deadline was available to all way before, reset them to this

it’s kind of hard to decipher if it’s just about the points.

I can’t imagine he’s looking for an acknowledgement from Wig Billy, Gkam or Ray that they are in the wrong and they shouldn’t have done what they did, because it was unfair to the others. Or is he?… 😕

I promised myself that I
I promised myself that I would put more effort in this year. I picked my team for the TDU – then didn’t make any transfers. Then my twins and milk/nappies etc got in the way and I missed all this. Sounds like a right bust up!

The mods spend much of their own time doing this so that we can have fun, it’s obvious that it is a genuine mistake, so let’s give them a break.

Totally agree with you, some scored by it some didn’t. I didn’t but i’m not bothered by that.

We will still get the usual muppet complaining though.
