It's in the best interest of the viewers to have the game played, but it's not fair to a player to make them wait forever for it if that player showed up at the right time and the other didn't. This is the only fair way to have a shot at the game being played still without asking anything unreasonable of theognis Well, that's what an admin is for. Having the opposing player decide is bad because it is a huge conflict of interest. | ||

I don't know... it doesn't seem that bad to me. Especially since there could be two very different cases depending on theognis' personal schedule. If theognis was like "I have all night free, as long as he shows up before the end of the broadcast I wouldn't mind playing", then possibly getting that game for us to watch would still have been nice. On the other hand if theognis was like "I'm sorry, but the match was scheduled for ~7, and I have to be somewhere at 9, so I need to take the forfeit", then that's the way it would be. I think that would be preferable to a strict rule where MLG disqualifies Sen 15 minutes after the scheduled time *if* we could have had a chance at actually seeing the game later in the night as long as it didn't conflict with theongis' schedule. | ||

I think it's better to just have a set of rules and follow them. When you add in all that conditional stuff then you start getting the stupid drama. | ||

Problem is you're asking Theognis to put literally thousands of dollars on the line in order to be courteous to Sen. Not really fair at all, as he may want to be a "nice guy" but he may also want to have money to eat as well. It's like dangling $2,500 in front of his face and saying "all you have to do is be an asshole to your opponent and DQ him!" . . . yeah, not cool. | ||

The idea behind conflict of interest is to prevent people who stand to gain or lose from a decision from making said decision, since there is a huge potential for bias. Sometimes having a conflict of interest can even be illegal in severe cases. Now of course, our situation is much less severe, but it would be unprofessional for the players to decide whether their opponent is DQ'ed. These situations are why we have admins, so that we could have an official making decisions who don't have any conflicts of interest. | ||

Pretty much this. When you start having anything more complex than "be here at this time +/- 15 minutes or you're DQ'd", you end up with way more drama than there should be. It's a regrettable situation, but it's way worse when you start ignoring/bending the rules (see basically every situation that occured this season) | ||

You can actually discuss set rules. Casual "wait for him a bit longer" kind of shenanigans are great among friends, and even okay in small competitions. But with this much money and publicity on the line you need to have set boundaries. | ||
