What's the story with GG/AOD? We are ready to get started over here at the airport.

Well, there was a delay on the decision from DJ, but it looks like he made his decision. Good luck to the remaining clans...Poorly run tournament DJ, but I have already said my piece of mind.

[Gunn217]

Please don't get negative in the main thread. If you want to continue to bitch, do it in PM or in the GG/AOD thread. You've done a fine job, DJ.

Isn't "if you want to continue to bitch" a negative comment in itself? Save your rhetoric for someone else, I believe I am afforded the right to speak about how this tournament was run.

[Teflon Kris]

Never mind, at least the South Park Kenny kept his mouth shut

Seriously though, AOD are annoyed as GG were messy with the FOW courtesy. On inspection, they hadn't violated in any games they won, although it didn't help I took AOD on their word initially when they started complaining.

To complicate things AOD want an alternative to the CLA FOW rule to apply.

There is also debate about a remade game. A deadbeat situation led to this. MOWs suggested a remake, voiding the original game. AOD want to undo this, claiming duress.

A further complaint relates to minimal consequences imposed when GG were late creating and joining games. This has occured in many ties and leeway was given.

Going into round 3, FOW will be clarified, no action taken on deadbeating (unless there is evidence its deliberate), consequences of lateness imposed strictly, and complaints must be made when violations occur (and not as ties reach a conclusion).

you sure ? you keep changing your mind if you want quotes from where you said they did i will ok here you go

GG have violated the rule (where applicable to the map) 7 times in team games:

Game 9718975 AOD Won anyway
Game 9734213 GG close to winning
Game 9703281 - AOD Won anyway
Game 9703284 - GG won
Game 9703286 - GG won
Game 9703288 - AOD Won anyway
Game 9703292 - AOD Won anyway

This effectively means GG lose 4 points, and thereby hands the tie to GG - a sad end but rules are rules.

then the change of mind

CORRECTION :

The FOW Rule breach is only relevent in this game:

Game 9703284

and the change of mind again 7 to 1 to none. the indecsion in the way its been played had big part in why AOD is pissed
enough said well played GG gl in the next round

[Teflon Kris]

Yep, big balls up by me in accepting AOD's claim without inspecting properly.

actually continue to bitch is a statement about the happenings going on. I got some negative rhetoric in my pocket here for ya. DJ made a mistake without looking into the details completely. He has owned up to this and you need to chill out.

[General Brock II]

Looking forward to Round 3, MM!

edit: The conflict has transcended to here as well? Almost like a high tempered soap opera.

Interesting.
If there was some abuse of whatever 'gentleman's agreement' was made, I can see where AoD wouldn't be too thrilled.

Remaking a game when another team deadbeated, and no action taken? Seems wrong, especially since that's the only real 'CC rule': no deadbeating is a rule here, while the other things are gentlemen's agreements only.

Lateness can be aggravating, but it happens, so again, imposing consequences for that, "strictly," where deadbeating gets no action? Interesting. It does, however, make sense that complaints should be made immediately, not just if a game is going against the group that wasn't late.

But overall, if a team is consistently violating the little things, those little things add up into something bigger, so AoD's disgruntlement should be understandable; and since whatever venting took place here didn't violate any forum rules, what's the problem with them venting? Some of you may remember a similar series of miniscule infractions LoW witnessed in another series, that finally added up into something greater than the tiny parts. Little action was taken then, either, the reason given: no punishments for those infractions were stated up-front. But the other team WAS severely warned to stick to their agreements, which was something.

Yeah, little things rub, and when repeated, it's like continually rubbing at a scab: eventually it gets more sore, more raw, and more bloody, even if "rubbing" itself doesn't make wounds.

Sorry you had an un-enjoyable time, AoD.

The no deadbeating rule sounds interesting, please point me in that direction.

The deliberate missed turn / time-out rule still applies to deadbeating of course.

Remaking was the action taken (after joint suggestion by MOWs). Given the subsequent furore, and attempts to reverse the agreement, it is not an advisable action in circumstances such as these.

In future rounds, if deadbeating is demonstrated to be deliberate (which it wasn't here) then the game is awarded to the opponent.

Rule updates will be posted shortly.

Agreed, although very difficult to legislate against the accumulation of little things.

I think, Stahr, before becoming sympathetic, you should view the war forum... The fact that conflict has shifted to this forum, as well, is a little inordinate.

Gentleman's agreement? Interesting term...

And the "other team" didn't deadbeat. A player has disappeared, and we haven't heard from him at all, even now. We're just hoping that he's not deceased or hospitalized. I doubt that he'll remain a member of the Regiment, even if he does return.

[chemefreak]

Everyone ready for the third round?

[Teflon Kris]

Let's go.

show: Rules Update

The clock is now ticking - MOWs have been PM'd and all team games should be created (and joined for home games) within 84 hours.

Away team games should be joined within 1 week (unless home game creation by oppoenents misses the deadline (whereby MOWs can contact me to request opponents games are created as random)).



Congrats to MM who have created their home team games already.

[TheMissionary]

Well, what can we say...we've been ready.
