The Long Desired Intermediate Cup

Okay, I'm back one day earlier than expected.

Hm, Rafka, if you read Dario's posts properly, you'll find out he gave you a hint he won't be available on Saturday.

Managed to get some things done faster today, I am home, hopefully rafka will be online now (sometimes I've found him this late connected). Maybe tomorrow (sunday) I can manage to get home by this time too, but can't be sure.

Rafka, you always do this... if everyone simply waited until they were as fully prepared as possible, no one would ever get a match done. Be more respectful towards your opponent and the rest of us waiting, preparation really doesn't make that much of a difference.

Okay, we are past the deadline and I see that the game hasn't been played.

Reading all posts I understand there were several occasions the match could have been taken place, but didn't because Rafka rejected waiting for his peak form of the week. This makes me think that he totally misunderstood the purpose of the deadline or at least what I think it is for. So let me try to explain: the time before deadline does not consist of a preparation period and playing period. No, the deadline is merly a tool to avoid the extention of a competition beyod the bearable (timewise), additionally it's something to wake a certain sense of urgency in the players to make them play as soon as possible. If one party thinks otherwise then I have to assume it didn't understand the rules. I repeatedly asked to play all games right away and a week is honestly more than enough time to get it done for players active like this.

Long speech short: I'm not breaking my own rules and don't extend the time for 1/4 finals, thus Dario was advanced to semifinal against Mablak. Hope you guys can play within the next few days.

Thats a bull, I just wanted to play some games first, nad 1 day before Dario writes that he cant play lol thats pathetic, but Im not surprise, always mods related to players arent objective from the start gona put trough closer to them players. Always the same pattern, sweet.

rafka you got own!

deadline is tomorrow so we will play tomorrow

As was pointed out, that's not what a deadline is.

A deadline is the last opportunity to get things done. Dario tried to get things earlier and you avoided him. You waited until one particular moment and you expect him to do whatever you like. That's called unreasonable.

In short, I'm with Jakka on this one.

Deadline for the remaining semi final is now set.

So we've got a final now.

Dario won 4-3, epic game is epic.

Very nice Kays. You've impressed me!

That's what the final should be! Awesome games.

Congratulations everyone!
Would be nice if Mab/chuvash played soon as well.

Just back from weekend holidays. I'll be able for game in day after tomorrow (16.08) or 18.08. 
Mab, add me in your MSN!

Aye, just tell me when a good time for you is. Most days 20 GMT is fine for me, or around 5-6 GMT. And I'm free every day at the moment, since I quit my job.
