And it all started so well. A Battle Royale game (1507807), how could I resist? What could possibly go wrong? Ah.
There I was, looking for new topics when...poof! That dreaded "Page Cannot Be Displayed" page came up. Turns out that the house wireless router had been unplugged to make way for the hoover. Damn hosuehold chores...
By the time I'd figured out the problem didn't lay with my laptop, it t'was already too late.
But hey I thought, no worries. It's not like I'm in any speed games....
Ah. Turns out that Battle Royale game WAS a speed game without my knowing. And good grief, my comrades has to wait *shock, horror* a whole 30 MINUTES to wait for their damn turns. It's unfortunate they didn't do the sensible thing and ELIMINATE me beforehand. But it's not my fault if they were sitting in the dirt gutter when God was handing out brains...
Not content with that, I now have a charming 26-20 feedback ratio, which they appear to think is rather clever. Ha ha.
actually you where elimenated in round 2 ASAP, they would of elimenated you sooner but anyone in range already ended there 1st turn. However i didnt give you a negative for it since i assumed that you would have a valid excuse considering the clean feedback record you had before hand.
You should PM everyone asking them to remove them and explain the situation. Never know how many youll lose.
pm everybody and explain what happened and i'm sure most of them will remove the negs.

I had a feeling that was the case. Bloody karma....
Still, 30 minutes.... That's the length of an Ed, Edd + Eddy program for pony's sake! I could hug a tree for 30 mins!
deadbeating by means of uncontrollable circumstance are not grounds for having a feedback removed, or so they told me when i tried to get one removed when my power went out during a speed game.

You have to DB 3 turns for that kinda FB to stand up, I know cos' I've had FB removed before where somebody DBed but they were elimed before the end of round 2 so the FB was taken down.
as one of the 19 i would happily remove my neg. and also remove you from my ignore list if you could add "i am sorry" somewhere to your post. Although i do believe it merits at a minimum a neutral bearing in mind there was over 2 hours between the time this game was posted and its kick off
actually reading your above comments you are being more patronising than cynical which leads me to think theneg. should remain in place.

Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.

Ah, but I didn't actually know it t'was a speed game. That classifies as a defense. Had I known I was on a shorter time limit, I may have discovered the problem sooner.
As it t'was, I was oblivious to that fact and din't log on again til about 30 minutes ago. How ironic....
I apologize for the fact that my mother couldn't see the carpet this morning under various sweet wrappers and other New Year articles left over, and as a result felt the need for hoovering which caused this whole dilemna. I will take greater steps next time to ensure that I am not walking on a ground of filth in the future.

I really would send an E-Ticket in about the whole thing, explain why you DBed, and also say that you only actually missed 1 turn!

and dont worry, most of the people who left those will be on ignore lists... no one likes people who give feedbacks like that.. im sure you will resolve it with most of them.....assuming youre not an arse about it

all 19 of them?
I don't know. But still he could probably get most of them removed.

If you only missed one turn, I would have thought that the negatives are not warranted under the feedback guidelines:
Feedback guidelines wrote:Do not leave feedback for trivial things like missing an occasional turn.
So I would think you'd have a good case to get them removed by e-ticket.
Nonetheless, I agree with rebelman that you should have a more conciliatory approach and apologise to the 60+ people you inconvenienced in that game, whether or not it was your fault.
