When are the rosters final

I'm sorry, but I lost my patience. From now on I will ignore questions that you wouldn't need to ask if only you had read the SINGLE introductory PM I sent out to everybody.

Lol come on, your beef is obviously with me?
People place to many bids, go way, way, way over budget. But I ask à simple question that is not written on this forum and I get à comment like this??? Seems very fair.

With all reason, yes I read 48 hours, but from which point? 07.14 pm? That is when the pm came in.
Trust me, at least 2 other managers here didn't know the answer to the question about when the 48 hours were over, but I asked the question here. I will let them ask next time, you obviously got problems with me, while I only want to make things clear.
Your irritation towards me probably also got to do with the fact that I told others that they were over there budget. Well excuse me if I try to keep this game by the rules, if you are not here then someone else can tell them right?
I did notice that when Flu did it, hè got à thank you, when I do it, it seems to be all wrong for you.

I just tried to help and if more people are wondering when the deadline is, then it wasn't such à bad question and you could also take à look at yourself instead of telling me you lost your patience with me.

I don't think his problem is with you in particular, I think he is just having to deal with a lot of work with this new league. But Bos I like it when you call people out on that stuff, because someone needs to have an eye on it, and Garfield can't be here all the time. I would say keep it up.

Trust me, it's nothing personal.

I do appreciate it when you point out problems.
As I would with any other person.

I don't appreciate it when you don't read the effing PM and keep breaching the etiquette.
As I would with any other person.

And that probably would not happen if he weren't bidding on every single rider that I post. I don't care if someone bid on my guys, because you are supposed to, but when one person bids on 15 of them in a row (especially the low-wage team-fillers) without starting any of their own auctions, it is very annoying.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but there are around 500 ProTour cyclists, I don't see why each and every one of them has to go for €100,000.

I probably sound like a little gonzaga right now, so I'm going to end my rant.  I apologize.

Exactly what I was thinking. Search for your own crappy riders and leave mine alone

Since we're whining already
What should I say?
Bid 30k on a bunch of useless Polish guys who will never score a single point, thus strictly for sentimental value.
Got overbid on all.
Somebody hug me!

Really didn't think Van Impe would go that high  It's outside the budget I've set myself. haha

I think people just get ebay-excited

Btw I have updated the etiquette with a couple of tips how to control your bids.

Just like to point out Garfield that I would assume you are a) over budget and b) have bids on over 25 riders. Just saying if you're handing out strikes willy-nilly you could easily give one to yourself to keep things fair.

He has bids on 7 riders. 8 if you count the Basso-example. The locked ones at the bottom are placeholder-bids for someone else.

As for budget, yes he's over if you do the straight up sum, but he's not over budget if you split the bids which can be split over two seasons.
