Price inflation

It might… While obviously
It might… While obviously I’ve been loving the last couple of weeks (and the whole year before it), and the Tour is the Tour, there just hasn’t been the same scope for playing around with the lower value DSs as in, say, the Giro – most people will have a couple or more of Mederal, El Fares, Le Mevel etc. (I know I’m pretty much stuck with three of the usual suspects)

Fair dos, there are a lot of strong riders at the Tour, so yeah, perhaps a value cap at the other end would free up some points to experiment more in the 9-14 range.

Saying that, would that require a proportional value decrease across the board? Certainly Froome and Sagan have been worth their 40 value in the right races. To put them so close in value to, say, Voeckler would be to undervalue them severely.

That’s a good enough answer for me, Dave. Thank you. It’s really ok that you have better things to do, really. I’m just a stickler for annoying little details that mean the world to me, like the formula that displays how many teams selected a rider, the formula you sue to value riders, etc…

I really don’t expect anyone else to care and am sometimes surprised that I get responses like dr’s when I’m writing just to make a point but it’s not really directed at him at all! 😕

I look at it at just as my musings about things on the site, not an attack on anyone so therefore I respond alittle nastily when I think someone is being rude.

I’m fine if you or anyone thinks it’s irrelevant. If you want to join the discussion, fine, but sometimes I feel like some people feel “forced to” read my postings 😕

I really can’t (!) force anyone to read anything (!) I write!

Anyways, please don’t get mad at me. I’m really fond of this site! 🙂

And my apologies to dr… All of my rambling was actually to get Dave’s attention, not yours… 🙁 To tell you the truth I don’t even know if you’re part of the Roadcc staff, a regular contibutor or just an avid fan, too! 🙂

I honestly usually don’t try to go out of my way to try to annoy people, except towards those that I think have been rude to me first, which I thought you were with your first post today … So, sorry 🙁

I’m struggling to care, and
I’m struggling to care, and to see why it matters, enrique. the only person that seems to be bothered, as is very often the case with your suggestions, is you.

there’s about 500 teams in the tdf league that haven’t selected riders, by the looks of things. that’s about 8% of the total. so if you don’t think the numbers are right you can go through and multiply them all by 1.0869, if you like. Take all day. As to whether they’re included or not, i couldn’t say. well, i could by going through the code, obviously. but i have better things to do and NO-ONE ELSE CARES.

you’ll notice that multiplying 59% by 1.0869 doesn’t produce the figure 99%, or even 78%. That would be 64%. just saying.

As for ‘stage hunting and abandoned’ teams, if you want to go through everyone’s dashboard and make a call on whether they’re actively playing and adjust your stats accordingly, based on the riders they have selected, well knock yourself out. it seems you have plenty of time on your hands.

it might seem like i’m getting a bit pissed off about this, and i am. we want to make the game better and we like to hear what users think. but if you ask for something and everyone else says it’s not an issue, and you go on and on and ON about it without adding anything, then you’re wasting everyone’s time, mine included.

you say you love the game. try to enjoy it. I won’t consider any more of your suggestions for ‘improving’ it because i’m tired of your constant attempts to get a rise out of other people on the forum and digging up old threads for your own amusement. enough is enough.

I hope i’ve made myself clear.

I believe that. I’m not arguing against the numbers. I am just wondering:

…if [a team] got a score of 0, does that mean that they were given a score, and that, therefore, they are considered by the system as a team that has been selected and confirmed and, therefore, part of the calculation [of whether a team had selected a rider]?

I think the answer is yes. If it gets a a score of zero, it still counts towards the calculation of % of teams that picked the rider. (Maybe they shouldnt (!) be part of the calculation?)

And I’m wondering why you can’t see the riders on these teams that scored 0 points and therefore why they’re part of the calculation of % of teams that picked a rider

The rest are just suggestions of things I’d like to see ’cause I think they’re fun to see, for example, the % of riders selected for Purist teams after a competititon starts.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say your numbers are wrong. I’m just trying to understand the calculation.

And believe me:

…You think every single team in the race would have picked Froome?! Are you mad?…

Well, maybe, but let me be clear, I don’t think every single person in the world would choose Froome to win the stage yesterday, but I do think that every single player in the Roadcc game who was still playing for the overall would not have dared (!) leave Froome out of their lineup yesterday! 😀 Am I wrong? I don’t know! 😀 , but, I don’t think I am! Does it matter? No. It’s irrelevant, but, fun to think about! 😀 But, ok, just to appease you and your dad, I’ll lower my estimate to 78% 🙂 But only if I’m considering that there are bound to be Purist teams, stage hunting teams and ‘abandoned’ teams… Again, I believe 99% if not all of the actively managed teams still playing for the overall had to (!) and did (!) pick Froome yesterday! 😉 Except your dad… But you did (!), didn’t you?…

Your dad plays? That’s pretty cool! It must be pretty cool to share this with your dad! My dad wouldn’t touch this game with a 10 foot pole! But then again, my dad isn’t that much fun! 😐 So is he playing Premium, too? How did he do yesterday? How’s he doing in the overall? Was he stage hunting yesterday or still playing for the overall?… Say ‘Hi!’ from New York for me! 🙂
