Bug in Contract Negotiations

[JoeLag]

I noticed it the first time yesterday.

When going into further negotiations you usually are asked by the cyclist: What's the minimum guaranteed number of races? Sorry, I'm freely translating my German version, I guess you recognize the phrase. In German it would be:

Walther Delogne Kommt natürlich drauf an. Wie viele Rennen lässt du mich im Jahr fahren? Und bitte sieh auch zu, dass es diese Saison noch möglich ist, die vereinbarte Zahl noch zu erreichen.
Joe Lagwagon OK, wie wär's damit?
Minimale Anzahl Rennteilnahmen in dieser Saison

(Great translation by the way!)


The bug:
Earlier you could offer them something like 8-12 races per season. In the 2 negotiations yesterday and today I couldn't offer them more than 1 (resp. 2) race participations. Might be that this has a bad influence on the wage I'll have to pay in the future :-(

I wasn't aware that someone changed something in the course of the last months ... but obviously someone did and produced a bug.

N.B.: I declined his outrageous demand for today. So currently I only lost one sub-level of mood.

because we have 2 days before New Year.

If you have another negociation on saturday 2 January everything will be normal.
You will offer then 15 races.

It is not a bug.

Ah, you are saying that in your language this bug is called feature. I didn't know that it is known. We once made a list of known bugs - don't remember in which thread - this one wasn't listed.

And of course it's a bug :-)

So indeed I will settle the contract not today but tomorrow. Thanks for the hint.

OK... I made a similar thread ... now I know (and should not have offered the contract )
