1. If you thought our hides were darkside, you should have called them out earlier. You didn't say anything about them until your team cowed. That's ridiculous. Plus, our hides were not darkside hides in definition of the TUS rules. You, on the other hand, stayed in a hide where you could neither throw a nade nor get hit. You darksided if anyone, sorry.
2. "yet he refused to do this because he knows how important his hide was." This statement is backed by NOTHING. He didn't try to hit himself because he had a roof over his head and your idea of "4s max bounce" wouldn't have worked... 22 such an odd number to hit yourself with a grenade, more logical to just skip a turn a pretend he hit himself and then call him dead at 22. Don't say "he knew it would f@#! up his hide", your 'assumptions', no matter how god like you think they are, can't be used as a defense here.
3. Avi's sitter was definitely fluke. According to the rules, a sitter is 1/4 a second, and according to avi, his was .26 of a second, .02 away from being valid. Whether or not it destroyed your last hide has nothing to do with how serious a penalty avi should take. He could have shot a sitter in that same spot and you weren't there and killed your "last hide", so what? Just because you happened to be close enough to take 22 dmg doesn't mean avi should do some thing strange, like trying to force him to hit himself for 22 when he is in a cavern like hide. Actually, I just looked at the replay, and it could have very well been a .24 sitter, making it not a sitter... Mods will have to look at that. If it was a .24 nade, then we never cowed and you guys did.
4. Teleporting to the middle is not in the rules, sorry, can't find it anywhere. You guys tele'd far back so we moved in closer, no rules against that. at minute 36, Oldsock teleports way too close to avi and cfc refuses to do anything about it except to continue to roll nades at avi.
5. In conclusion:
- if you thought we darksided, you certainly never called for it. Calling it after the fact as justification for not taking penalty for a cow is ridiculous. Our hides were perfectly valid according to the rules, plus, you had a darkside hide for a few turns, bringing up darksiding is pointless right now.
- Our nade might have been a .24, mods will have to look. We skipped and offered to kill avi off when he reached 22 or below. If our nade was .24, we never cowed and OMG DESTROYED YOUR LAST TACTICAL HIDE, even though that latter part means nothing in this debate about the rules.
- Oldsock cowed, we told you guys the entire game after it happened to take penalty, and you didn't, and we could argue that you won because of it. Imo, game shouldn't be void, mm should get the win. They won because of a cow they didn't take responsibility for. We had a real chance of winning until that cos he kept rolling nades, on Komo's command btw, and then tele'd closer to me when they killed avi and then killed me, something they wouldn't have been able to do if Oldsock didn't cow and tele so close. I know the rules say game ending by foul means a void, but this is an instance where we had a real chance at winning and then cfc cows and refuses to take a penalty even though we shouted at them the entire time to do so. I feel like this instance is worse than accidentally cowing to end a turn; they knew they broke the rule and they refused to pay for it. That's intentional, mm should get the win IMO.
