This is going for me to be my last reply cause it seems like i need to straighten out another lie!

I declined TAP and MR Pennil. at 21:30
you join and ready up with TAP at 22:30
We get the message we win by forfeit FROM THE GAME ADMIN AS WELL AS HEAD ADMIN OF THE LEAGUE! at 20:40

There was never any mention to me about any 3rd Merc and i never denied other players than TAP and Mr Pennil!

This discussion is stupid, you KNEW we declined TAP at 21:30
if you really wanted to play you could have gotten another merc at that moment, instead you join with TAP and ready up!

Its your fault and that only, i feel sorry for your Team atm cause you by yourself forced that Forfeit.
IF you wanted to be "sportsmanlike " and "respectful" YOU would have respected OUR decision to decline TAP and play right from the start with another merc.

The end, have a nice day, and pls some admin close this bullshit!

There absolutely WAS a mention of a third merc to not just you but refs. It's in the fucking cast! WATCH IT.

We asked about Fiskbit AND he joined BEFORE the timer expired.

The SECOND I asked if Fiskbit could play, your team left.

You can see this now, on ren's cast.

If you feel so sorry for our team then play a game instead of taking an easy win.

We obviously disagree. I disagree with your team's decision to leave. You disagree that I asked for TAP to merc. He was NOT the only choice presented at the time.

You can disagree all you want. It'll be in the appeal. This is getting ridiculous though. Back and forth nonsense. If you had any pride in this game or league you would play the match.

Season 4: Dramatic Season.

This is amazing and all, but I don't think PP wants to reschedule. Shake it off work towards the next match.

TL;DR Tagwolf is a little whiny bitch who is annoyed things didn't go his way in the Almighty Dictatorship of Zefram. And Moadib is a big black guy who chases kids.

I had popcorn tonight actually! With parmesan and butter. That shit was goooooooood.

Not sure how Moadib is involved though or how his race equates to anything. but he should probably stop chasing kids.

Also, just to say. I'm sad someone from Vexta would say that. I know ya'll EU guys stick together. But I don't care what anyone thinks about me personally.

This isn't about me. this is about my team, fairness, and adhering to NSL rules, not to mention sportsmanship. And I will continue fighting through ridicule, drama, and insults.

TAP according to himself has been playing CS:GO and not ns2 for months. TAP has great snap aim but sometimes makes strange field calls. I do not believe his presence would have made an impact.


I suppose the same could be said for someone like Shades (actually the exact same, dude loves to rambo), but he can carry the shit out of any Div 1-or-below team (just watch any scrim whenever he rang for us in All-In v3.0).

The most important rule here IMO is:

(e) Substitutes can not be denied in an attempt to force a forfeit.


Of course, you're operating under the assumption that the other team's intent from the start was to deny-spam mercs, when in reality, there's no possible way you could prove that empirically unless you were telepathic (and even then, it's still your word against theirs).

Considering I've quit this game outside of the occasional pub, I can look at this objectively especially since I don't have a dog in this fight: the onus of responsibility, as has been stated multiple times before, always ALWAYS falls upon the team who is NOT ready to play at the PRE-AGREED SCHEDULED time. You can essentially throw out any argument that revolves around BM, denying mercs, etc.

At the end of the day, it's a very simple question: could you field 6 members or 4+APPROVED mercs @ the time specified? Yes = Play. No = Forfeit. PP are well within their rights to accept the forfeit. Of course, they could be benevolent and grant a rematch, but judging from all the smack-talk, I find that outcome highly unlikely.

And it's understandable that you used that order for the mercs, considering tap is the strongest, PenniL the second, and Fisk rounding it out. If you had offered fiskbit as your first merc, the match would probably have been played but... well, who knows what the outcome would have been?

And one thing about the confusion while this was all happening... let's not blame the refs for the delays, shall we? Unless you've been a ref for NSL, you likely couldn't understand how confusing weekends can be. Just because they're the ref for your match doesn't mean they're exempt from other duties. Last season I function as both caster AND ref for my matches, and yet I still had (as I'm sure Pela and Unique did) massive amounts of other teams PMing me about their own matches to resolve issues (if anyone remembers watching my streams, you'll likely remember how often I would get PMed during a cast, followed up by my signature: "That's my Steam, not yours."). So yes, it can get quite overwhelming when there are, what, 3? 4 active refs? And ALL of them directing their OWN question to Zefram because they don't want to mess things up? I don't blame him for logging off Steam friends for a bit.


EDIT: While this reschedule likely won't happen, I think a showmatch between the two teams would be pretty sick. Rivalries grow the game, no matter how small! And a showmatch would get a lot of attention, I reckon, based on the drama this stirred up. Doooo it.




where are my season 4 predictions?

This thread's gotten a bit out of hand. People have shared their version of the story and everything since has just been a rehashing without shedding light on anything new. A decision has been made. I'm closing it.
