Oh ... well in that case if my opponent would be nice enough to postpone or play before i have to work, after , or any other time would be great. Sorry for 43 minutes being late.

I don't see why people would take walkover in this league. My opponent didn't show up or couldn't and ajmbek was subbed in. Should I have taken a walkover or refused to play? This isn't even a league with prizes but just for fun for people to play and be active.

Yea I agree, we only play 1 game a week, and last few weeks prior to last week's game we just postponed matches, so its not like we have a lot of action going on, thats why I wish the games were more than Bo1, 1 game a week, so underwhelming. But still I hope I don't get walk overed, thats kinda lame if there are 2 walkovers in one team league match.

Yes, if your a racepicker and aren't listed as such under "teams" you need to let me know.

I mean only probe and iplaythings(od) have their match ups posted, the other players who play more than one race only have 2 icons instead of 1 which doesn't say much.

wait so im the bad guy now for being held up 30 mins and taking a W.O?

its ridiculous that you guys are questioning my choice to take a W.O when my opponent made me waste 30 minutes of my time without any prior notice.

i want to play; just show up at the right time. you say that W.O is lame, i say not showing up for matches and wasting people's time is lame.

also, your team had no sub available. i would've been more than happy to play a sub. and i'll play you, im not trying to dodge. i just get annoyed when people waste my time and try to make it seem like im the bad person.

agreed 100%

.... All I am thinking is wow...Waste you're time? 30 minutes? ...Big deal...we are playing for fun in a team league, I apologized for being late and I never said you are the "bad guy" , in fact I don't think anyone said that. I would think that out of respect for the league and opponents that everyone would have a little leniency towards Walk overs as people make mistakes and sometimes unexpected things happen which cause players to be a little late.
30 minutes is nothing, especially in broodwar, that is less than 1 TvT. :-p , but yes IMO it is absolutely ridiculous to take walkover's in this league, people should be forced to / want to play they're games to see the real results of each team battle. And yes in my honest opinion anyone who cares about taking a walkover instead of rescheduling the match for another time that day / the next day is obviously worried about losing and is taking the walkover as a result. If you can't find time to reschedule ONE GAME of starcraft for a team league where I think all the games should be played to see the true results then I think that it is more about the person being worried about losing / only caring about winning, and in the end I guess that could be considered dodging, or maybe a more sugar coated way of putting it is desperation. Like I said before I apologized for being late, and I accept the responsibilities of my tardiness and also apologize to my team for the loss, it wont happen again.
peace

Stop crying already, rules are rules, you were late so stop bitching.
If you have a problem talk to the organizer.
If you really accepted responsibility you would have stfu from the start, i hated being allowed to reschedule after since it causes situations like this when someone is a sore loser.

Not everyone has the time to play games 24/7 and can hang around waiting indefinitely. Sure, this league is for fun and is extra motivation for people to play and improve, but there's an expected ettiquette that if you sign up for a league where other people depend on you, you will at least be on time. We've been following the same exact schedule for four weeks now, so it's pretty irresponsible (at least without prior notice) to not show up.

So much drama. Isn't it painfully self evident that you either show up on time or reschedule with your opponent as early as possible? To me failing to do either seems just incomprehensible. If you can't be bothered then accept whatever your opponent decides and don't whine. Own fault.

Showing up an hour late with no prior notice and saying that it's no big deal and that w.o. is lame is utter bullshit. It's great if the opponent has free time and can play, but this is entirely up to him.

just pm your future opponent to arrange time, it is completly allowed by rules, you can even play on a different day your match, just decide time with your opponent, BEFORE the game time

plz refresh op with results and standings

If he shouldn't take the walkover out of respect for the league then how the fuck can u be 30 mins late?? that's a whole other level of disrespect. I wouldn't hesitate to take the W.O when you're actually arguing that 30 mins is nothing. u seem like a complete douchebag

just my 2c
