And once again the real
And once again the real problem hasn’t been addressed, same old bullshit.Could gkam and his army of asskissers be any more arrogant?
They fuck up and then they have the cheek to try and blame people who are not responsible for their fuck up!
They really don’t want people to sign up again do they? LOL.
pathetic, this so called game / service is beyond a joke, cheating is condoned and encouraged and when they fuck up it’s never their fault.

i’ll be putting in the
i’ll be putting in the ability to report a stage deadline if you think it’s wrong, and also a back-end system to make sure they’re double checkedcgipryan, seeing your name
cgipryan, seeing your name there, yes I believe it was you. I think you won by 3 points 😉Armchair Cyclist : I am sorry I made that remake about the smiley, I had a long day of answering posts on here regarding the stage and you came on to say you had noticed, but hadn’t thought to mention it to anyone. Kinda just got my goat up.
So I am sorry.
It is not yours or anyone who plays the games responsibility to spot errors, but if you come across one, it would be nice just to give one of us a shout, even if you are unsure about it being an error and that way, we can correct it in time and nothing like this happens again.
Mistakes will happen, it is the nature of cycling racing that things change last minute at races. We try and get everything right, but sometimes, small errors slip through the cracks.
If in the future ANYONE comes across what they think to be an error, please, give one of us a shout.

Wow, strikes me that some
Wow, strikes me that some people are having a serious sense of humour bypass here. Guys, the clue is in the name – FANTASY not REAL. Whether I come 1st or 100th isn’t going to change my life, and I’d like to wager it won’t change anyone else’s either.Dave, Gkam & the rest do an amazing job putting this game together for us all, and it has made me pay closer attention to some of Cav’s ‘sh*t small races’ and now women’s racing too which has been great. So to you two and the rest of the team, thanks so much. People are very quick to get on their backs for the tiniest little thing, but of course, I’m assuming that all those tipping out the vitriol have never made a mistake in their lives, so have every right to be self-righteous and hyper-critical… Being that smart, I’m sure they know where they can go if they don’t like it.
Personally, I’d have had a decent score, but I shrugged my shoulders, got on my bike and went out for a real actual ride with my mates in the sun. To me, that’s what it’s all about.
Thanks loads to the Fantasy League team and please do keep up the great work.

Its been a mistake and
Its been a mistake and mistakes happen. Its not the end of the world and as a lot of people have said “its only a game”. I missed the comp completely due to not looking at when the next race was regardless of cut off times etc.As for the stage prize, just send it to the person that won but still keep the stage neutralized at least then they have got something for their efforts.
Perhaps in the future, due to the fact that the womens races are miles apart, an email could be sent out reminding people of when it starts and the cut off times can then be checked for accuracy, just a thought 😀

Armchair Cyclist wrote:Can I
I think you deserve a more courteous response than the one you were given and I think it’s fair to question whether Gkam truly is an administrator or not. I really think he’s been rude and unprofessional, without wanting to take away from his efforts to keep this place running. That said, had you taken the time to speak up about the error you noticed it’s kind of sad to think you could have helped out and possibly have made this mess non-existent.Armchair Cyclist wrote:Can I confirm that you are one of the administrators of this?

It is not my responsibility
It is not my responsibility to make sure that something I have paid for avoids errors.So you set it up wrong, did so months ago, and yet your response to the situation is that you want to send me an obscene gesture.
Please either explain how that is justified, or retract and apologise.207 points for me… I
207 points for me… I imagine the winner of the stage will have gotten something like 225 or so…
Neutralizing the stage seems like a good idea to me, considering… what bothers me is that I completely forgot to make transfers for the last TOC stage ~X(Nix
A couple of thank yous from
A couple of thank yous from me:Thanks to organisers for including WWC this year. I’ve found it interesting and a good way to learn more about what is happening in women’s cycling. It would have been good to have Womens Tour of UK as well, but can’t have everything in first year.
Thanks to organisers for fessing up to source of lockout error and advising everyone. Also for making a decision about what to do in response.
I missed the lockout as I went by time on fantasy site. But to be honest wouldn’t have cared if points counted or stage neutralised or something else. It’s only a game for me.

I wasn’t blaming you, I was
I wasn’t blaming you, I was just asking how come you didn’t try to inform anyone. If I noticed something a miss, a post on the forum wouldn’t go a miss then it could have been picked up. Just seems an odd thing to come on here saying I noticed it but didn’t bother trying to make it right. How does interest come into this, If you noticed an error, you noticed an error.Are you saying that all the players that submitted a team noticed? I submitted a team but did it the other day, and didn’t even look at the deadline, just knew it was on the 18th so made the changes, same as im guessing a lot of people did.
You have chosen to come into
You have chosen to come into the thread and make it known you knew about the deadline being wrong, that is why you are being asked why you didn’t tell anyone.No-one is blaming you, I am the one who set it up wrong months ago.
Has it occurred to you that
Has it occurred to you that there is a difference between interest in the sport and interest in this poorly administered game?We are told that there were
We are told that there were about half the transfers there would normally be. That means that half the players saw what was going on, so why am I suddenly being blamed for this? I know nothing of who the organisers are.Can I confirm that you are
Can I confirm that you are one of the administrators of this? Do you really consider this an appropriate response to somebody who is disappointed at the blatant incompetence shown by those running this? -
