I can’t get a hold of my guy so I guess I win @8bitJose
@“Hyun Sai” welcome back, dude! I’ll get you in on this very next run…
@SleepyFoxx that’s awesome news! I mean it sucks you had to reset the whole thing, but at least you didn’t have to get a new one.
@melflomil that new rule doesn’t go into effect until next Run, so I have to give both @8bitJose and @serpentaurus until the 2MU warning before I can start giving points up…it’s only fair I’m afraid. Otherwise, yes if any replies fell outside of the 7-day window from when you initially contacted him you would win that match via no show forfeit.
What if a contender has been flaky in the past (from what I’ve read), consistently logs onto SRK (from what I’ve seen from his profile), and still doesn’t respond?
So I’ve been really hard to reach right now because I have a one month old. And she’s proving to be harder to deal with than I thought. I don’t get much time to spare and when I have, my opponent isn’t available. It’s not his fault, so if need be, I will have to forfeit my points.
And in my defense I have already communicated this with my opponent. The communication has been constant. We just haven’t been able to coincidence online. NOT because he can’t reach me.
Not to mention we had agreed on a time last week and he no showed me. I will gladly give up my points because of my situation. But I will not stand by and be made to look a flake.
@Greenwood in cases such as this I would need to know the player in question and would have to see screencaps of said log in dates (all via PM, please). I’ve been keeping track of who’s consistently been failing to show up (which is easy thankfully as there aren’t many at all). If it turns out that person revealed does indeed have a history of now showing and it’s clear this pattern is repeating then it’s an immediate boot and points will be awarded.
@8bitJose same story here. In your case I would need to see the PMs (or lack thereof) from both parties. If there is evidence of failure to contact then points will be awarded accordingly. However, if there is nothing to suggest the opponent has been avoiding contact then the accuser stands to lose these points all the same.
Remember PMs as well as thread posts are both valid communication methods to set up your match.
But again, none of this goes into (trial) effect until next Run.
Also, I wasn’t very clear on this and I apologize. I won’t dole out points punishments and league boots without considering all variables first; just open a dialog with me. I don’t want to be militant or Big Brother about this, I just wanna make sure we get people here that wanna play; that’s the only way this whole thing works.
8bitjose, it gets better. I’ve got a 4yr old and a 1yr old. It’s definitely rough in the first like 8 months (or 2 years lol).
Round 1 hasn’t finished yet? lol
It is taking longer than I expected lol.
Yeah, who still needs to play?
Yeah, things are running a bit…long. Apologies if I seem distracted as of late, work and studies have ramped up a bit. It looks like the matches left to play include:
@Skins4life Vs @“The Martian”
@LordWilliam1234 Vs @serpentaurus
Playa_V has decided to withdraw due to time/scheduling constraints (we kept missing each other, mostly 'cause I’m a bum)
Hi, Norse and I fought last week and Norse won 3-0
Thanks Videad. I’ve updated your standings:
That leaves:
@Skins4life Vs @“The Martian”
and
left to play.
I’ve gone ahead and awarded you full points @LordWilliam1234 this is ahead of the new reg trial rollout, but with something of an egregious no show precedent set last season, and multiple attempts at contacting/tagging with no response thus far I don’t think there’s any reason to drag this out for someone who seems to have little to no interest in playing (which doesn’t bother me one bit, mind you…just let me or your opponent know is all).
And with that we’ve reached our 2MU warning. Starting today the remaining players in this Run have one week to play out their matches.
Also, I haven’t done a weekly Lounge in a long time, so I’m gonna try and get one set up tonight or tomorrow after I get off of work if anyone is interested in some casual action.
Thanks, everyone!
If you hadn’t already played your match I’d be 100% ok with that, but as it stands now it’d be a bit unfair I think. You’re definitely more than welcome to join The Lounge if you’d like…I’ll be firing that up tomorrow evening around 1900hrs EST or so.
@Greenwood will that work for you, homie? Got a call back from a prospective employer while at work, so I wanna do some research on them tonight and won’t be able to play I’m afraid…
