Game Suggestions

Sadly I cannot sit on the fence in this debate…. For fantasy cycling purposes I wish that Enrique did not exist… Endless non-sensical drivel repeated, repeated and then just for good cause repeated..
No doubt I will now get re-quoted, mis-quoted and have a pathetic snippit of a song attached….

I would just love a premium forum where the cyber stalker could not find me…

I disagree, I think enrique has made some solid suggestions that have made the game better in small ways.

What’s great about this game and the forum community is that we get to suggest things and if it’s a good suggestion it gets included in the game. I accidentally suggested the premium model and a few other things and these are now part of the game. Other people have suggested things, big and small, that have all helped to make the game what it is. One of the things that I like about this game more than others is the feeling that in some way I contributed to it and that it is mine in some small way. I think that other people feel the same too, especially those who’ve been around for a while.

Making suggestions is fine, asking for things is fine, the problem comes when your suggestion isn’t used or your request isn’t incorporated into the game and you don’t let go. enrique, you’ve made some good suggestions and some bad ones. Unfortunately when Dave says no to a bad suggestion or when the forum people don’t agree with you, you do not let it go!. This is incredibly frustrating.

All of these suggestions, getting rid of the most combative points, changing other points, having unlimited transfers for non-premium people etc etc are things you’ve asked for and that have not been approved or followed up on. They’re also things that you continue to suggest again and again and again to no avail.

Have you ever heard of the term ‘flogging a dead horse’?

These suggestions haven’t been ignored, they’ve been considered fully by those involved and they’ve decided that they don’t fit in with the game or where the guys running it want to take it. That’s part of life, you just need to learn to let these suggestions go or, if you want to bring it up again, do it in the end of season thread I usually set up in September/October. That’s the time to bring these things up, not weeks after suggesting them.

That’s quite a lot to ask for
That’s quite a lot to ask for and again, not what this game is.

I think you need to understand that this game cannot cater to all tastes and cannot please everyone. It is very successful as it is and there are plenty of alternatives that use different scoring methods.

In the past I’ve asked for things but have come to realise that each fantasy cycling game covers a different set of people and that no game can suit everyone. That’s why at the start of the season I found a season long purist game that I like and started playing that.

Suggesting improvements to the game is fine but asking for a complete overhaul so that this game covers everything you want is going too far.

If you want to play a game with this set of rules then you should try and find one elsewhere or start one yourself (starting a spreadsheet and create a forum somewhere separate from road.cc is all you’d need to do). But I think you should stop asking for this kind of thing because it’s clearly not in the best interests of the game to focus development time (which is very limited) on to branching the scoring system out to allow these kind of variations when there is minimal demand for it.

Now, now. I’ve had a day of this dealing with my Year 3/4 class. Please don’t make me enforce the behaviour policy.
