    As a compromise I might suggest stripping the ToQ score of those who made transfers out of their overall Purist score but reinstating them into the overall season long league. Obviously this might not be doable and what is possible within the game engine will dictate what happens but I would find it hugely unfair to let this slide and let players get away with abusing this mistake.

    Right. so, just this once
    Right. so, just this once we’ll reinstate people who made changes to their purist team.

    but the next time we screw up – and don’t think it won’t happen, folks – and you find you can make some purist transfers in-game, don’t. because it’s a purist team.

    okay?

    I changed my purist KNOWING, that I shouldn’t and I’ve been pulled from the purist overall. Oh well…..

    I don’t know there is a way to remedy that or not.

    I actually bought it to admins attention by starting this thread,then got the green light from Gkam and Dave’s replies so made the transfers and now I’ve been taken out of the overall purist league.

    I don’t think anyone’s abused
    I don’t think anyone’s abused the situation really, especially since there was an email sent out informing folks that unlimited transfers were available and to treat it as a bonus. Had that email not gone out then yeah, it would be like people were exploiting the glitch. That said, I didn’t make any changes myself because it did feel like it goes against the spirit of the purist thing. Plus I’m too lazy.

    This is why I suggested if it
    This is why I suggested if it can be done to reset all purist teams to what they were before the transfer window opened for the last stage. I’m sure this has been done before from what I have read on the forum. Seems like the fairest answer if it is possible. If its not I would suggest perhaps nulifying purist points for the last stage if that can be done? But then those who didn’t make changes will complain that they are being penalised if they miss out on points gained, which is a fair enough opinion.

    I think this will have to be a trial by judge and jury composed of Dave to sort this one out.

    I agree with drheaton too.

    I was just trying to exploit the loophole because I thought everyone else would, and that it was being treated as a free pick session as if it were the start of the competition because of “clerical error”. I can’t remember the details but we had a similar problem last year. I didn’t exploit the loophole then but everyone else did so I was disadvantaged. I didn’t want that to happen twice. If you can’t beat them join them as they say. :<

    That was my mistake when setting up the race, I thought Dave had changed it, but if not, then take it as an early season bonus from me :B

    I took this to mean we could make changes to the purist team and now my team has been removed from the Purists Overall…..hardly fair?
