nichosk just said something strange to me, he bid on a player (deadline: 8sec -->servertime) but got the message: player sold. I know it's a bit late to bid, but are the clocks running right?

Justice. If there's one thing that's annoying the living light out of me in HT it's all those friggin last-second bidders  Let the clock be unreliable so ppl can't pull that crap here  |

haha no, but I understand his frustration... (btw I'm no fan either: but 3days is 3days ) Yes true enough, but why wait till that late... I put it like this: Option A) Nichosk had a rough day at work, system admin blocked the peloton site yesterday, important TdF deadline which he should make easily, but mr Boss decided that Nichosk could 'just fix this little thing before going home'. No choice really, Nichosk gets to it, meanwhile casting nervous glances at the clock. But he manages to get the work done and rushes home, turns on the pc -which seems to boot slower than ever- logs into peloton, rushes to the transfer list, and breathing a sigh of relief pushes the 'Buy' button with 8 seconds remaining until the deadline..... Option B) Nichosk is boss of his own company, and since he has a player in his shortlist which he wants to buy, has his employees work over so he can lean back and make his move in the last seconds of the transfer time. This tactic Nichosk has learned in Hattrick, where he's been taking demonic pleasure in reading frustrated HT-mails from managers telling him to bugger off wasting their time with the lame style of his. Laughing evilly inwardly at the frustration of the manager he is about to outsmart in this transfer, he waits until in the very end he cannot hold back any longer - and clicks the Buy button with a royal 8 seconds remaining.... In case of situation A) I feel sorry and understand the frustration. In case of situation B) I laugh evilly. |

Small (not a bug) remark: the clock is 2 minutes wrong to the real time... If you put it 2 minutes forward it's correct
