Gratz with your victory in season 11, Ab. Very special as you started a seaon later. Life is great. Ofc I miss Peloton, and I might start a new team, but that would only be to be able to follow 1st Division and check the new things in the race engine. Would be interesting to see if the Poulidor of Peloton will finally win his first world title Oh, wait... or didn't he upload his signature/footnote? Hi Genomico, I saw that created a new account, I only send now the confirmation email because we are facing a problem with the confirmation email with password and we need to send manually (this is happening for more then 1 month and we are getting a little tired of this). If you want I reactivate your old team and place in div 6. Is always nice to have a champion back, good luck

Crap, wealthiest team Equipe à Grande Vitesse. Now I'm getting a bit scared . It must be close to 50 or 60 million, right? So how does it work with the 12 guys that got assigned to your old team though? I don't wanna be an ass, but with the team being reactivated it seems a bit unfair that you get 12 riders for free as well (and even five 18-year olds). Would assume you either start from scratch, with 12 random riders, or get your money back but start with 0 riders, as would be the case for every other team that sold it all. So what will be your plan? Get 25 youngsters in and build up from there? Or will you get some older riders as well to allow you to move up the ranks? (just want to understand when I should expect you in 1.1 again )

I've told El G he could remove my cyclists from my team. I want to start at zero anyway. And it's not close to 60 million, it's way more I'm not planning to get back to the top. I just want to train some youthies and make them the best of their age. Perhaps organize some funrace tournaments.

And if it's way more than 60 million you will have no problems filling up that team anyway . It's a good thing there's a limit on investments, just imagine the interest you could be collecting with that kind of money! I guess the market for the 18-year olds is not going to stabilize anytime soon now

(sorry for my bad english) genomic, I see that you have not lost the habit of overestimating cyclists like you did at the beginning of the new peloton when you sold at your little friends overstimating cyclists affordable and you bought them at the same price to keep out other buyers; already have made you gift to give you back your old account, then restart again to overestimate riders, competitors who are in the group of the manager from which you buy at an inflated price cyclist what will they think when the same will buy 4-5 cyclists to the top and win all leaugue's matches? I tell you, go away, your behavior was and is wrong, shameful ...

I saw EGV's first 3m buy of that 18 year old and considered making a post on the forum about it too. I didn't follow the auction though, so have no idea what the highest anyone else bid was. Saw another bid of 1m+ from him yesterday though...I agree it's unfair. Most similar games likes this have a reporting system of dodgy transfers. I guess the process is working out what the fair market value is, and taking the excess amount from the selling team (even though they did nothing wrong)

3.000.000, another 2.000,000, another 1.000.000 ...
at the current market for 3.000.000 you buy the best cyclist in peloton ...
I do not care if genomic spends a lot of money for a young cyclist, indeed I hope it ends soon he had and that was given to me by those who manage peloton today for an account closed of two years; who received the money, however, must have reduced the amount received ...
i have reported the overbid, but I already know that nothing is done as it is not ever done anything so time ago ...

Someone else made a bid of around 2.6 million (I think it was 2,662,000) at the first cyclist I bid 3 million on. So that wasn't an overbid. I wanted him because of his maximum height. That 2.6 million bid from someone else was an estimation of the marketprice for 18-year old cyclists for me, so I offered 2 million on the cyclist with an ideal weight (I wasn't sure I could be online at transferdeadline, so I had to make a good offer) and one million for the cyclist that has 5 hill, a skill I don't train (again 1M immediatly because I couldn't be online at deadline).
But don't worry, this season is already half way, so 18 year old cyclists missed a potential 8 trainings already, so they become much less interesting for me. Until the new season starts and 18 year old cyclists come onto the market.

Btw, I would like to have this explained. What are you accusing me of? Whatever it is, I'm sure it must be nonsense/misunderstanding. I've always played this game fair and being very active at the transfermarket was needed to keep selecting my cyclists. When a cyclist makes your team better, price often doesn't matter. He will pay you back anyway.

Indeed, it's a nice battle. The reults in the last weeks were really good, especially the performance of Bregge in the Giro d'Italia. Well, I'm pretty sure that you will stay on top after that week. May I remind you that Lio, Imperial and Malton have the skills to gain at least a few points Yeah, but really just a few, hehe. As I feared, too much hill today. Luckily PAN's riders gave a masterclass, so at least not a win for you or Nightbiker . Things don't look too good for the GC though. Not sure what Malton can do in the last stage, I'm really scared for that long flat section. Expecting Lemius to win it.

You don't remember the discussion around this: 13614 4/5/2012 Vilhelm Lazar Sold to Equipe à Grande Vitesse $1,400,000 13606 4/5/2012 Marcellino Nassi Bought from Equipe à Grande Vitesse $1,400,000 The Italian community was extremely annoyed with us back then. I still don't see how it was considered cheating, since these were the best riders on the market at the time and I was willing to pay big for mountain guys and you were willing too pay big for flat guys, but they assumed we pre-agreed on a trade and argued we put them on the market way above their market value to be able to do that.

I understand the challenge on the millions flying around for the 18 year olds by the way, as the values are really out of this world (riders like this normally went for max. 500k or so, early in the season). But perhaps Slayer made you believe teams are willing to pay much much more (I think it was you and him who ended up in a bid war, right?). Would be nice to have a friendly discussion about it though. I believe we are all adults here, so whining like a little kid about how unfair it all is and accusing people of cheating is not the way to go in my view.

Before that I already had 8 transfers with higher values, so how could 1.4M for one of the first 7-flat-skilled cyclists on the market, with amazing secondaries, be too much?

I believe the main thing was that the the transfers were done on the same day against the exact same values. There was even a whole thread about this, here you go: peloton.proboards.com/thread/7735/fair-playgik was also actively involved in the discussion back then, so I'm pretty sure this case is what he is referring to.
