There is also a sad announcement to make. It turned out that one of the best teams in the game was owned by a player who had 5 other teams. It was not a difficult decision to do what needed to be done, but it saddens us that this happened. We would like to stress again: do not cheat! Even if you think you might get away with it, you won't, and we won't hesitate to ban your team(s) no matter what status you have in the game, on the forum or both.
who is ?
i think even you don't say we will find in 2-3 days, but I think is best that you tell us that. Tk.

I don't see Epolloon nor Jupiler Ultra's anymore. Knowing that they made higher offers on cyclists I wanted to buy a few weeks ago, I can't help but feel betrayed. I could have had at least one of those cyclist now. If I'm right, at least three of these teams have been put in my league now. Division 2:3. Wouldn't it be better to replace them by active teams instead ?

Talking about cheats... I wonder, how many possiblities could be that a team start in 4 division, and won all the races, promote in 3 division, and won ALL the races from the first to the last? Is it reasonable to think that something is strange, or am I a just gelous of a super manager?! What you think about?

If team A has a cyclistA 2-10-2-2-2-2 (all hill cyclists) and team B has a cyclistB 2-2-10-2-2-2 (all mountain cyclists). Cyclist B is interesting for Team A and vice versa. Can they make an agreement on buying the cyclist for the same amount. kind of exchange, you just need enough money. Cheating?
There aren't a lot of guidelines about cheating. Announcing pop data on the forum. Announcing skills in division fora, transfer fora... Keeping the transfervalue progress of all cyclists (no longer possible) and have an idea about FA. Making price agreements... What's possible and what's not. I think some things have changed compared to the beginning of the game. Not necessarily a bad thing.

You can get an offer of a team for a cyclist, e.g. 10M. If the offer is reasonable, you can put the cyclist on the transferlist for that amount but there is always a possibility another manager overbids the other manager. I think there's nothing wrong with that?

What if someone overbids you (TeamA) for a cyclist (teamB, worth 10M) and you win the bidwar, highest offer 20M. The day after TeamB buys a cyclist(TeamA, worth10M) for 20M (you can also say to 'overbluf' others)
Or you can leave it like that and make prices equal in the next 'transfer agreement' that's working together and cheating in my opinion. How does IP think about this?

I think that is considered as cheating, because teams (with managers that know each other or even teams of the same manager) can exchange cyclists for the benefit of one of the 2 teams.

But even if you don't know each other. you can just ask a cyclist with certain skills, steering, FA,... on the forum (or in pm) and agree a starting transferprice (often (too) high). That's in one direction. But afterward that team can't buy a cyclist from your team, because this might be considered cheating. On the other hand if you're not able to make bids it isn't fair either, because maybe your competitor buys the cyclist. Ther aren't many guidelines/rules about this.

The moment a cheater is discovered, his/her team will be deleted immediately. No warnings are given, no mails are sent. If you can't log in to the game anymore, you know what time it is. Only 1 team is allowed for each player. Buying/Selling cyclists from friends for a lot more (or a lot less) than the market value is also considered cheating.Keep the game fun and honest. I you think you found a cheater, either pm me or sent me a message in the game (my team is Team Peloton, id 2). I think the 'a lot more' was ment for the money (money transfers). But now it's about cyclists.

It's allowed to agree a price (like on the forum), as long as the price is reasonable compared to the qualities of the cyclist. Because the transferlist is available for everyone, everyone still gets an equal chance to buy the cyclist.
The moment a cyclist with all low skills gets sold for 10M, then the cheat-police gets involved.
