'lo there,

I'm posting here cause of something that's been bothering me. It started out in the sheeprace cup (you can check the thread there, starting off with PiNK's post regarding FaD.
Now, if it just stayed with that, then that's just a one-time deal, everybody makes mistakes and the situation was corrected. No harm done.

But it's not a one-time deal. It's categorical manipulation of games and frankly, there's no place for that in W:A.
I have no problem with people playing W:A competitively at all, but if you're can play this game in a fair way, then I'm going to have a problem with that.
If TUS values fair play even a bit, then this kind of behaviour should not be accepted! Games should be decided by whoever has the best ideas and/or skills inside the game, not by whoever can cheat and lie their way out of losses or who can piss off their opponents best.

I for one have had enough of people like FaD that gladly make use of other people's hard work and give nothing but trouble in return.
Despite having hosted tournaments for RRkit and WMDB, despite having modded playoffs for fb, despite being a mod at TCB, I've never before met any wormer cause this many problems in just a few games. I have no intention of putting up with crap like this anymore though.
TUS is such a great site with so many challenges, leagues and resources and it would be very sad if people like FaD get the chance to f@#! things up. I for one, will not be a part of TUS any more if mods/admins don't take a stand against this kind of behaviour.

So what's it gonna be?

Chakk, what's the ruling on drowning? Does this end the match or does this mean a rematch is required?

If a rematch is required, I want you to take a look at the replay of the final game. FaD in any case refused a rematch from the places we were at (good sportmanship considering he was rewarded a rematch despite not deserving it in the second game, don't you think?).

It doesn't matter who starts in the rm, though. I started the game and FaD had the last turn knocking me off, so we've had an equal amount of turns.

I did, sir

Cueshark has informed me 3 people have signed in addition to the 12 that already did, so yay for that

A showcase without Madden would be incomplete! get to it

Worst. Shot. Ever.

Nonetheless, I think this idea could work well within TUS considering the amount of games per season here!

Hi, we stumbled upon a problem in our game, chakk, I'm hoping you can help out.

FaD won the first game, no problem with that one.

Now the second game (I attached the replay): Here's a breakdown (you can check for yourself, of course)

• I started the game
• First notable point: 9:30 - I accidentally block the pathway. FaD asked me to skip turn (rightly so!) and so I unblocked the path and skipped turn.
• Second notable point: 14:20 and onwards - FaD accidentally knocks me off the block. This is where the problem kicks in and I'll need your judgment! I assumed that since he knocked me off, I was allowed to teleport back up, so I did.
• Third notable point: 16:30 - This is where I consider play to resume with switched turns; i.e. After my teleport, I consider we've had an equal amount of turns to get where we were. FaD races on and finishes in 2 turns, I finish in one.

So here are my arguments (I urge FaD to do the same)

• I teleported because my worm was knocked down. If I had screwed up the bungee, I would of course have finished the race the normal way.
• FaD clearly thought my teleport was unfair considering his reaction to it. However, it was not a problem for him that I skipped a turn earlier on when I was blocking him
• If my teleport was legal, then it also should not have cost me a turn. This would mean that play should resume with FaD's worm below the last jump and mine on top, while it's my turn.
• FaD continued to move his worm despite me clearly not moving while trying to resolve the issue and it was in fact *his* turn when play resumed (hence switched turn in the notable points list)

FaD's opinion is that this game is void, yet mine is that this game is a win for me.
Sorry for all the trouble, chakkman, but I'd rather have this problem resolved before continuing my match with FaD.

Needless to day I will adhere to any decision you make, but I hope a simple motivation will go with your decision

As far as I know, you're the first to think you can just skip a checkpoint (cause that's what it is, really)

I wouldn't mind Plenty of those at the moment though people need to get their games played (me amongst those!)
