The problem came about
The problem came about because all through last year, people complained about stage deadlines not being close to the start of the race, so this year we moved them as close as could be, to give everyone a decent time to get a team in.

If they had been left as we did in the large tours last year, there would have been no issue. But we pandered to people like yourself. So it happened to be a problem again this year.

From now on, how about we don’t take feedback from the users on board and just do our own thing?

Chiv, things have been done
Chiv, things have been done to ensure it NEVER happens again, a couple of other changes are being made behind the scenes.

I think Enrique is right
I think Enrique is right though, you want it “properly addressed”

It has been, Dave has stated there was a mistake and also that no points will be docked.

So what is it you want done?

Get yourself one of these, I’d have a respirator mask anyway if I lived in London

No need for shame, I have
No need for shame, I have done nothing wrong. As I’ve said, if you are not happy, you know what you can do. I couldn’t care less about your small minded views.

Look, if you are not happy,
Look, if you are not happy, Dave has offered your £10 back, take it and F*** OFF

It varies between organizers.
It varies between organizers. Some provide proper food at the finish, some don’t provide anything, some provide something at a cost.

Feed stations also vary, some have free cake and drink top ups, energy bars…etc. Some don’t have feed stations and you have to bring anything you need with you and some provide things at a cost.

Which sportive are you looking at?

My position.

This is a competitive game and I try to do as well as possible in it. I always compare the deadline times with the race start times because I know from experience that mistakes happen. I do this to give myself an advantage and I’m unapologetic about that. There is no rule that all transfers have to be made before a race starts, so to call it cheating is ridiculous.

When I started playing this game it was just for fun, but these days I play to win. Unfortunately it seems this attitude is incompatible with the forum, so I think it’s probably time to say goodbye.

I enjoyed my time here. Farewell road.cc forum. :H

I have pretty much come to the same conclusion. I’m sick of bitching and moaning about this, that and the other.

I don’t get paid to run the game (nor have I ever asking to be paid), I do it because I used to enjoy it and thought I was helping for the greater good of others. Lately it is just taking up time that I could be doing better things with and its the same people day in day out moaning about something.

I now have a business to run, so my time is money. I can ill afford to be sat on here doing rosters, sorting stages, points, finding startlists. Checking them every day before a race to make sure they are as correct as I can make them.

Emailing, tweeting and phoning race organisers to see if I can get information about races….etc

It’s not difficult to see who did it. Those additional points should be removed from the offenders. Very easy really, albeit there will be a little bit of legwork to do. It takes about 3 seconds to click on the name and see if they cheated.

At the end of the season, let’s just say Wig_Billy or Gilbert and Sullivan wins a big prize instead of someone else by a handful of points…they are 2nd and 8th at the moment.

Gilbert & Sullivan didn’t make any Gent changes, you are seeing their Volta changes after the Gent deadline…..Volta had a 13:00 deadline….

I am not playing for prizes
I am not playing for prizes anyway. I simply changed my purist team, stuck in those breakaways to see how it would sum up if someone actually managed to pick a few breakers like that.

I did it to see how scores compared, because I want to see more points for breakaways in one day races. So that was a perfect test platform.

You can moan and whine all you want, I can’t win anything, because I help run the game. I made it quite clear what I did in this thread

[Gkam84]

Wig_Billy hasn’t “made a killing” he’s gained about 20 points.

Also, what are you saying about Wig and Gilbert? Call me Maybe?

Not of that makes sense

Meanwhile, and more importantly, when are we going to get the Volta Catalunya final scores – I really want to know how far I fell in the FS league.

I think TER is on the scores for this, I can go do them now though.

Actually, I think someone is already on them
