Dave et al
Servers seem to be screwed when trying to pick a team or make transfers for any competition.
Will this be fixed before the giro start? ~X(

Although I submitted my team
Although I submitted my team in time I guess the fairest thing to do would be to neutralise stage 1 and allow unlimited trades ahead of stage 2 so that everyone is in the same boatGkam84

Yeah, I know what you meant, but we see the same as anyone else, apart from the game updating, we can access the site during that time. The rest of the time, we see what you see and if it’s running slow or offline, that’s what we getsimon F

I didn’t mean that I expected you personally to fix it, just that the behaviour of the system might appear different to you as you have backend access so it might appear to be working smoothly even though it was anything but smooth for the rest of us.Also, I don’t think 18 hours is ridiculously last minute so we should still be allowed to pick a full set of teams without disadvantage in numbers of transfers, or closed transfer windows for purist teams.
Whether to neutralise the first stage is a difficult decision – do so and those who picked teams for it lose out – don’t do so, and those of us who didn’t have next to no chance of doing well overall.

The problem being, those of us who work on the game do the back end work, but nothing to do with the servers. Dave is the man for that. If he’s busy with anything, then we are all stuck.Understandably, the game has been running fairly smoothly till last night and Dave has other things to do, as we all have. So on a Friday, if the game goes tits up and Dave is on his way to somewhere else and not at a computer. I’m afraid we are all in the same boat, can only hope that it sorts itself or Dave gets to it before the deadline

Yes, everyone works different schedules, but that is not something we can fix.
You’re an admin – maybe it’s different for you. For me, it’s been majorly fucked up since about 8:30 last night. Have to admit, don’t know what it was like between about 1am and 8am – actually managed to get some sleep but the rest of the time – no chance.I wouldn’t expect you to fix people’s schedules but 18 hours to fix the game shouldn’t be impossible and 18 hours before the deadline, it should be available and possible to pick teams. I don’t call that last minute and even if you do, we shouldn’t all have to pick our teams to suit your idea of what’s the right time to do it.

Is a tricky situation. In an ideal world everone would get a team in early and come back just before the start to make sure the riders hadn’t changed etc.
I picked my first draft at the beginning of the week and went and made a second version later in the week.We have similar problems when a rider doesn’t start at the last minute and people complain that he was in the start list, just luck of the draw as to when you log on and select your team.
I guess if it was just playing up this morning that might be one thing as the original deadline was at 8am. So any people who were coming on after that would have missed the deadline anyways.
but from what I heard the problems started last night. Which is a perfectly acceptable time to choose your team.So I don’t know what should be done personally, just a bit gutted cos pretty sure I’ve got the winning purist team! B-)
Plus don’t want to lose any points as both my teams took into acount the first stage, so if that is neutralised I’d lose transfers swapping out my riders for stage 1 that didn’t get me any points.

I do generally try to at least get my purist team done early, although I prefer to leave the standard till later. However, we’re in the middle of buying a house, the road race league has just started and needs timing, the track league starts next week, our regional youth omnium round is next weekend – all of which need timing and scoring sorted out for – so I just haven’t had time this week, and any earlier than that, the start lists are still too fluid to trust. I would normally expect that the day before the start should be safe enough.I’ve tried again but only got
I’ve tried again but only got up to two riders. Obviously, there’s some kind of bug somewhere as I doubt it’s just extra requests causing the problem.I would put up a team on here but I don’t know the rider values so I don’t know if it would be legal or not. It’ll have to be neutralised I think and transfers sorted out as well. Complicated but possible. Otherwise I’m going to enjoy the first stage. With no bike to win I’m pretty easy about it. I was only going to go for a stage win in any case as the multi-tool looks much better than what I’ve currently got and as I do bikeability and tend to be the person checking the kid’s bikes a good one would come in handy.

Its the biggest race of the year so far so i thought people might have tried to get their teams sorted a bit earlier but everyone is different and as you say they wait till near the end.

I picked all my teams a couple of days ago, made the effort and got them in so neutralising the stage does not sit well with me to be honest.However i’ll go along with whatever the judges decide, how about though people list the team they want on here and it gets scored accordingly and once the system is up and running the team can be sorted out ?????
