Baldy hasnt join his games in a week so I win all 5 by forfeit. I have now dropped the games as I feel waiting a week was plenty of time for him to join.
I've given quite a few allowances on that rule in this tournament. I've only really applied it during the first 2 or 3 rounds. After that players have shown that they are dedicated to the tourney and will join the game. Things happen: crappy computer connections, small vacations, bad account-sitters, not being able to reach a computer, etc. I don't think that players should be penalized for situations that are beyond their control as long as they have proven that they really do want to play in the tourney, they don't abuse this privilege, and they aren't going to be gone toooo long. BaldAdonis has always joined games within the 48 hours and he is 1 game away from winning. I'm not going to make him forfeit for something that I have allowed other players to do.
