Andy, I just met you on the ladder. We were having a friendly ZvZ, when at the 13ish minute mark, my mom called me. At the time I didn't know it was my mom, my step-mother simply said that I had a phone call. I asked if I could pause, and you politely obliged. You waited for a good 4 or 5 minutes, until my mom and I were finished talking. We resumed, and you quickly assumed a commanding lead. I was nearly going to give you the gg, when the screen "Waiting for Player" popped up with your name on it. And after 60 seconds, you timed out. I feel real bad man. I stole your points. If we ever meet again on ladder, I will gladly leave to give you back your points.
It means a lot that you gave me the time to talk to her. She's been struggling with some alcholism for a long time, and this was the last time I could talk to her for probably a few months as she goes to get some help a ways away after a relapse.
Andy, you're a good guy. I know it was just common politeness in letting me pause, it means a lot more. Thanks a ton.

Replay (Don't judge my ZvZ, it's honestly terrible.)

I sent Dalguno a message, and I decided to register today. I wouldn't have seen this post unless you spotlighted it. Thank you. I'm super impressed by the community. You all warm my heart =D
See you on the ladder! Andrew

I'm not gonna lie, I'm tearing up.
THE RESPECT MAKES MY HEART MELT.

Needs to be more topics like this in place of QQing.
|
Normally I hate blogs about Starcraft but this is worth an exception. Nice.
|
Classy finally something different than the usual QQ
|
Cute thread ^_^ But if I have something important to discuss like in your case, I would just have left the game rather than asking someone to wait patiently. I really hate the pausers.
|
Aw, this is a nice blog. We should end the blog sub-forum with this :3
|
You can chat to people you've played hey? Just look in your match history. Good job though, both players so manner bear.

Why not just message him directly and thank him?
You can do that via match history pretty easily

I will. Added him to friends, he just hasn't gotten on yet. And I didn't know the call was going to be from my mom, I just thought it was any old phone call.

This needs to be spotlighted. Andy must read this message!
