avi you asked how I want this game to be handled (even if sarcastically) It's hard to defend TdC (no one else would care xD) and not sound like a mod you know... But I knew MI was following this thread and he could jump in at any time.

Oh now I'm making up rules. One day I should use common sense when there's no rule or the rules are flawed, the other day I shouldn't. I feel like your expectations towards moderating change based on your needs.

So you think we should play our Roper pick with a weaker lineup while you could have a stronger lineup? Just because you couldn't play the game when it was supposed to be played? That's hilarious.

I already told how this game should be handled

Roper rematch -> we get voltage and you use the same players as you had when you dropped and left
New pick -> I play with VoK and you use whoever you want

So.. let's start scheduling a date for the Roper rematch or meet in AG for a new pick (we are picking T17 with VoK).

We wouldn't have picked Roper if dibz had been there. And we wouldn't have picked Roper with VoK after losing the first game. We would have picked T17 to make it 1-1. We picked Roper only cos we had voltage and you didn't have the strongest lineup for Roper.

You were losing the game, then dropped and postponed the game. Now you are bringing in stronger players for the rematch? I don't think that's possible like it isn't when avoiding

Avoiding rule:
If someone is avoiding, you must save screen shots as proof and post them in a complaint thread.  Mods will discuss and if they agree, you can report a free win and that gives the avoider one week of time to play that game. In the case of a clan avoiding, only the players online at the time of the avoid can play.

If we do our pick with different players, we will make a new pick.

I wasn't asking to change the pick, I was just offering you an easier way to get the game done. I'm totally fine with replaying the game when I, voltage, tita and Free are online. We had better take our calendars and agree a date cos voltage is online like once a week..

In previous cases people have been eager to get the free loss out of their record. I'd say that free wins have helped in getting the games done.

The ratings would be inaccurate also without the free win. We would have a loss from your pick and our pick wouldn't be in the stats. For whatever reason you failed to play our pick so it's not totally "undeserved" loss. This is one of the rare cases where free wins have been allowed (when you play the opponent's pick but the opponent doesn't play your pick).

Basically we should play the rematch with the same players (tita & Free vs me & voltage) and I know it's hard to get the same players online at the same time. That's another reason to leave it up to you to arrange the game.. Moreover, if I hadn't reported, the game order could go wrong. We picked Roper in belief we have 1130 points and you have 1493 points (not really ).

But the game should be played all over again unlike I thought. I think it's better if VoK and I make a new pick (cos voltage isn't online often) and you play whoever you got in the lineup.

Yeah the point is just to get the game done. Maybe a free win is unnecessary in dt's case but I reported anyway. The rule is "If a player plays his pick but then disappears at your pick, you CAN report free win. But even that free win must be played when that player comes back." You couldn't play (finish) our pick so we had the right to report a free win (and force you to play when you come back).

The game was closer than I initially thought. We had one turn lead when tita dropped

tita attacks the pile and piles my worm after grave explosion -> tita 85, Senator 109, voltage 62
voltage attacks the pile -> tita 38, Senator 62, voltage 82
tita attacks me and piles voltage -> tita 58, Senator 15, voltage 82
I attack the pile -> tita 11, Senator 35, voltage 35
tita attacks either one -> tita 31, Senator/voltage 35
Senator/voltage attacks tita -> tita 0, Senator/voltage 55

edit: I'd suggest a fresh rematch but we start the game.

Final

Boo (1) vs TaG (3)

Deadline: Sunday 2017-01-08 (15 days)

tita dropped and Free had to go. Let's finish it with handicaps another day.

Semifinals

Senator (4) vs daiNa (8)
blitz (3) vs Free (7)

Deadline: Monday 2017-01-02 (14 days)

Lukz  had a chance to win and it was VoK who dropped. The game will be void.

senator trying defend the indefensible xD

Mods always ask the replay from both players in case of a drop. It's possible that you got to play your turn before the drop happened and you failed.

Lukz attach your replay here

Read more carefully, Kradie. I said the game will end in a draw if the first player does anything between zero and full damage with bazooka (46? Not sure).

Ah ye, Lukz beat Csongi. In that scenario you should look at the round difference between your games and if that's tied, the round difference in all the games. Some player might try harder early in the season and steal rounds from you, then lose his chance for the championship and try less in the remaining games,  losing 0-3 to the other cup contenders. That's why you should first look at the results between the tied players. But maybe it's just me

Csongi needs 9-0 (including 3-0 against me).
it's also possible Csongi gets 9-1, where he brats me 3-0, and we end up having a draw.
On a similar scenario Lukz can draw with me or with both of us.

Wait.. You can both have 11 wins and 2 losses but Csongi wouldn't win despite beating you? That's silly. Round difference should matter only in three way ties.

I haven't tried that scheme yet, what are the other differences except different in zook 1st?

Just a health tweak (210 HP). If the first player makes no damage - full damage with bazooka and after that both players make standard 47 damage attacks, the game will end in a draw. Obviously we see perfect games hardly ever so this is just theory
