In with QuikSilver
Thanks.

[ballenus]

We're ready to start - I'm still waiting for the privilege to create games so we can't start today as foreseen, let's hope it will tomorrow. You'll get a pm with the invitation.

[ballenus]

just to inform that devon99 got apparently upset by CC shutdown the other week and left CC. Regan The Great found a substitute Nicky15 and the team was fulfilling the eligibility conditions (+4000 points and so on) when I checked this. That explains the delay of 2 days - sorry for Silversun6 Benga &
nokelberry triple 6 as they had to wait a bit...

[josko.ri]

If you can rush a little with November and December invites, we may achieve to not have games during Christmas and new year's holidays.

[ballenus]

yes I too would like to send the invitation early december (or even end november) if copatible with game load. Right now we have still 5 games left but in fact only two seems to be undecided, so invitation for day 2 should go out today or tomorrow.

[ballenus]

I ll send soon the third invitation

[ChrisPond]

finally got Astoriana Ballenus one in the loss game. enjoying the games and looking forward to seeing how close this one finishes.

Game 13836885
This game ended 1-26-2014
Please update. Thanks.

[ballenus]

as explained it is taken into account in the table of standing (4 wins and 2 losses as we ignore the game with Joehsnipe-Gertbomber) and I'll update the table related to invitation 3 and invitation 4 as soon the last games will be over.

[universalchiro]

Roger that.
I understand we had a victory removed. No worries.

[benga]

since silver has gone freemium and will not renew, remove us from tourney

thx

Maybe it would be good to play at least one more game to complete all 11 rounds from the first round.

This tournament requires two games a month, which makes it very freemium friendly. Isn't it a shame to spoil everyones fun by quitting?

one team already dropped out, silver doesn't plan to stick around much longer

why the cries now, no one cried before

I didn't see anyone crying.

While the quantitative increase from one team dropping out to two teams dropping out already seems to me like a potentially sufficient reason for crossing people's annoyance threshold, there are also two qualitative differences: a) As opposed to the first team that dropped out, you actually won some games, so some people are going to lose wins and others are going to lose losses, which feels a lot more like the tournament getting messed up than when a team drops out that was losing against everyone anyway. b) You only have one more game to complete a full round of the tournament, and then all your games could count and you could leave in peace. Despite the rather blunt announcement of your forfeiture, josko.ri pointed this out to you in a very friendly manner. I'd ask you to reconsider his suggestion of playing out that one more game instead of dismissing it as a "cry".

your logic is flawed:
it would be more fair to delete our record then to proceed with us in one more round and then have no ''away'' games played, how is that fair to the ones that have lost to us?

there won't be missing any losses or wins, just one team whos record would be deleted and that's fair, not the other way around

[benga]

silver will play that one more game

maybe he will need time to open a slot, but he will accept it asap

Thanks for making that possible. By the way, counting the first half if it's completed isn't an idea that josko.ri and I came up with (full disclosure: we both would lose a point otherwise); it's what ballenus announced as the tournament rules (in the front post) after the first team dropped out.

[ballenus]

thanks benga and silversun to make this last game, I think it is indeed better and then we'll go on (and hopefully finish) with 10 teams. I can be flexible as regards the starting date, we can even start this game earlier if you wish so and it doesn't pose any problem to opponent, just tell me.

I think good idea now would be rerandomize second part of the League, so with 10 teams we can have 9 more rounds instead of previously draw with 11 more rounds.

[ballenus]

yes of course I'll do this to speed up things and avoid that two teams get only one game. That will require some extra work but I was already in it!
