v v v starmint

Cannot play at 11CET Saturday due to work.

However he is able to play on 11CET Sunday. If it makes it easier we will use him as our ACE, in-case an ace match is necessary, and match him to play the final 1v1 and ace match (if necessary) against a preselected opponents ace player. This means we will not have to reschedule an ACE match if it ever comes to one.

We have still not received our opponents lineup from last week. I suggest a better solution to our first weeks game, is to just post pone round 2 matches and allow us to play in a catchup week at the end of round 1.

Given that in most situations the team who followed the rules should have recieved w/o, we still gladly accept a full rematch. However we would like to be posted who on their team is playing on what maps (their lineup w' maps basically) before we post ours. I believe this is a fair solution to the current situation.

Thanks for the understanding.

These are the quite the demands. I ruled on this matter in a very fair way that doesn't give you an insane, almost cheating advantage. I won't do any of these. The StarMint request doesn't even make sense. That's actually rescheduling but you claim that it isn't. There are rules on postponement, just like there was a decision on the first week match. Regarding StarMint and the match vs EE, if you read my decision, you would realize that you have that option. No, you haven't received the opponents lineup from last week - because, again, if you read my decision, you'd know they have until Sunday, the same way your team does (which has not done so yet).

I think you misunderstand, I didn't claim that it isn't rescheduling. (please direct me to where I said that)

Starmint cannot play on Saturdays. Therefore for each week we will use him as our ACE and play against the other teams ACE for the 1v1 and ACE match on Sunday. We don't need to know who the player is before hand, in fact this gives other teams an advantage because they know who they will be playing against. Instead of postponing every week, I am just saying that this is a weekly post-ponent for all of his games to be played at the same time but on Sunday instead, to make everyone's lives a lot easier.

Your previous post sounded like we had to wait for technics to post their lineup first (see next quote). So I was waiting. I will be sending you the lineup in 5 minutes from now.

Because you said

"Since AP is more right in this situation, the lineup will be altered in their favor"

The request I just made was having the lineup altered in our favour. Is it not?

I think having individual times for every match is simply not going to work. What is a reasonable time? Any time organised by us is obviously going to be "unreasonable" for them unless its on the weekend. When we do get a "reasonable time", it will not be that reasonable for either of us. By the time we figure out game times, it will be christmas. I assumed that the lineup would be altered in our favor, so that's the proposition I made.

I believe my proposition was completely justified and there was no reason to escalate it. If you said "the times will be altered in their favour" I wouldn't have come up with this. What is cheating? by the rules we should have been awarded the w/o but we weren't. I am not going to complain if we don't get it, it is simply a proposition, but considering the rules have been bent already, I don't see why this came to be such a huge issue.

The catchup week I think is a far superior alternative than organising times individually.

Both teams must submit a lineup to me by this time next week. Since AP is more right in this situation, the lineup will be altered in their favor. What I mean by this is that EE will send me their 5 players, and based on the set player of AP's availability (I will enforce reasonable playing times), which I will know in advance, I will mediate the NW and have TechnicS send whichever player is available during those times. I know that this isn't as easy as just showing up to play one day, but it's very important for both teams to finish this nation war.
