That's good lales, thank you :)

Now there's something that I don't understand, why would Senator, deliberately interrupt the ongoing tournament for ''playoffs'' with lalo? Couldn't Senator wait instead of requesting one of the participant of the tournament to play with him? I find it distasteful and unethical at how a moderator could just be allowed to intervene with the competition. Indeed it is all good and well that both lales and lalo agreed to postpone the match, but my point remains, arrogance and lack of principles should not overrule the fundamental laws of respect.

Senator & Lalo's game(s) weren't even reported at the time of this post.

I just want to try and understand Senator's reasoning, that's all.

wait you are waiting till tomorrow for the tournament final?

and you couldnt wait 2 hours for me to play dibz?

TheKomodo:
If that's true and Senator pulled lalo from the Tournament, that's pretty bad.

Tournaments are supposed to be played and finished there and then, it's the whole point.

PO can be arranged for anytime.

I know someone will try to pathetically argue this, don't care.

We had agreed a week ago to play the playoffs this Saturday 18-19 gmt. We were already way late with the playoffs cos it's been hard to schedule a date and a time. lalo can play on weekdays only when I'm already sleeping and on Sundays he can't play at all. Two weeks ago we couldn't find a date at all cos I was away that Saturday. We agreed to play last Saturday at 18-19 gmt but lalo didn't show up cos he had other stuff. lalo offered me a free win but I decided to give him one last chance and try again this Saturday 18-19 gmt. If he hadn't showed up last night, I would have moved myself to the final (cos Walrus was waiting in the final). lalo showed up around 18 gmt but I was in other game and said let's do it 19 gmt. He then signed up for zar tourney. We started playing at 19.45 gmt when lalo finished with Kradie and said lales can wait. It wasn't my decision to postpone the zar final but if lalo had played it, I would have needed to play at night or take the free win.

TheKomodo:
Senator, honestly, f**k the PO...

Hardly anyone even plays these days we don't need such stupid deadlines.

The problem is people not being able to commit, and this just goes to show it even further...

Honestly, if you lot put as much effort into keeping your word and making an effort as you did arguing...

People saying they too busy in life, what, sitting watching TV? Drinking at pub with friends? Having sex? F**k off lol... Obviously work is more important because you need that to pay bills and survive, so anything you do in your free time it's all the same, if TUS isn't important enough for you to make an effort, then maybe you should think about not entering Cups/Tournaments/Singles PO, that's why I quit/swap players in Cups when I find out I lost motivation or don't have time, rather than make people wait or whatever.

The truth is if he couldn't meet the deadline, you should kick him, if not, don't use deadlines... Instead you choose to delay another event, nice one.

I want to change my Twyst Tournaments, but I made a commitment, so I have to live with that, sometimes other peoples happiness is more important than your own.

When you think about it though, it's not even a big deal, whoop dee doo had to wait an extra day or something lol, I guess in this small community we should either stick to our deadlines, no extensions ever, or be more open to delays/re-scheduling and give people more time, we can't keep saying 1 thing and doing the other though...
