Psyringe: League rules state that the decision of whether or not to do a replay depends on the winner of the match.
The match in question has no winner; waiting until the opponent's connection drops cannot possibly acceptable as a victory.
Therefore, either the two opponents come to an agreement, or the result is an admined 0-0.
Agree wholeheartedly.

Rodzaju: And every solution he offered would have given him his injured players back.
This is the bit that balks & makes it feel like cheating.

Psyringe: I seriously can't understand why it is so important for you that another player keeps a disadvantage.

I mean, as far as I have experienced it so far, sthe spirit in this league is "sorry that I killed your player" - practically every opponent who killed one of my players said that. Piran said that. Vitek said that. I can't recall against whom I lost the others. I remember that Vitek had a bad conscience after the match against me bacause - as he said - he "never maimed another time so much", and I reassured him that I'm taking it with a laugh because it's Blood Bowl.

And you are making an issue out of another player not keeping his injuries. I'm sorry, I just don't understand it.
After that maiming you received, if someone had offered to auto heal all your injuries, what then?
It would certainly have an effect on your next game & probably a knock on for several games to come.

I see that as an unfair advantage aka cheating.
That is what I'm seeing here.

Perhaps it might help to see it the other way.
If it is no big deal, why was he so desperate to get those players back?

There is undoubtedly an advantage.

It's not unfair since it follows from the regular rules that apply to all.

And it is most certainly not cheating unless you have indications that he knew about this rather strange error and somehow managed to goad you into triggering it.

I have talked with Piran about Rod's and cheong's matches freeze situation and we have come to following conclusion:

Draw, with the usual possibility of rematch if both players agree to play one. Sleep over it, dont have to decide it right now.

Reasoning is as follows:

1. Basically we are treating this as double disconnect. This happened between Piran and m0rtr3k as well, twice >> both players seemed to disconnect and there was no result for the match.

2. We cannot point out that the freeze was caused by one player or the other as neither computer dropped out from the game. Rules section will be updated regarding this issue for future reference.

3. Administered TD's are always to be set by the rules - TD's are not to be used to "simulate lost SPP". This was decided already Round1 Season1 -> the discussion we had after match between me and E_A was interrupted and it was decided we will always either play rematch to stick to autowin or double disconnect draw.
No need to sleep on it.
A rematch has already been arranged.

However, a player that is prepared to offer a bribe (4-0 autowin) in order to avoid having his players injured is not someone I want to play.

So I've forfeited the match.

All kinds of dirty tricks are a part of the game, allowed and even expected.
But dirty tricks outside of the game are something I cannot live with.
This last page of the thread and the PMs I have received make it clear that I'm in a minority of 1 on this though.
So in the interests of harmony I have quit the league.

For the most part, it has been great, but it only takes a rotten apple or two to take all the fun out of it.

E_A already said everything I could reply to that.

I think he already had his players back, the moment the game froze. A regular match result became unattainable at that point.

At that point, cheongzewei wanted to void his injuries, and was prepared to accept a loss of the game as well as a loss of skill points for it.

You wanted the victory _and_ cheongzewei's injuries to be kept. Too much for a match that unfortunately ended due to a bug for which neither player can be held responsible.

Anyway. The matter has been decided already. Let's all sleep a night over it, and tomorrow continue what we're here for, i.e. bloody battles to the death ... on the pitch. ;)

Shadowing a follow up to a block is a known bug in the game.
Set up a practice hot seat or SP game.
It will always cause the game to hang if the block results in an injury.

AHEM

I would remind Psyringe and everyone else taking part in to discussion - that lets not get blaming or accusing others of stuff.

I totally understand BB is emotional game - but lets keep those at some civil level?

The judging stuff is 100% admins privilege and i really-really dont want to see any sort of mob lynching mentality.

Unclear situations will happen, we will speak them between admins and change/add rules accordingly.

People tend to do and say stuff they dont really think too closely - especially when intense match like this is going on. Please dont bite too easily nor hastily.

So everyone, try to keep this and the good manners in mind all the time. Thanks!

(ps Psyrine, my vamps want a bite of elves - when is it looking good? tomorrow probably wont work out, guests coming)

I must admit ive not heard of this. Suppose i have to google it up at some point. Really darkens my dreams of playing DE's though.

...and just what is this nonsense?

Reading stuff like this and seeing that you actually did quit the team from league are really throwing of my harmony levels.

I am having some serious trouble understanding why people suddenly having such extreme reactions for over rather minor thing. I have some actual life-tipping RL problems atm so dont you go dimming my meager funs :)

Rod, you better haul your scaly ass to season 3 - dont have the funds to pay for the flight and North Sea is cold to swim.

Understood. Basically my previous post was intended as my last post to this matter already. I hope to not have blamed/accused anybody (apologies if that came across differently), but I _did_ get invested in this discussion much more than I originally planned. In any case, a night of sleep will be good.

I'm available everyday, but can't say when exactly I'll have 2 hours of contiguous time. What time of the day are you available on Thursday?

No worries - everyone gets worked up at somepoint. Lets just understand that, and accept that we all have out good and bad moments and then merrily continue TD'ing and smacking elves around the pitch :)

Speaking of thurstaday - unclear yet. Try to get get in touch with me in the evening on steam and lets see.

I can honestly say that I haven't heard about that bug and it's also not on the bug list I normally look at:
http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=100
(It's also for Chaos Edition although it doesn't say so. I have asked before.)
http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=580

And I can understand Cheong offering solutions and adding to them because they weren't acceptable to you. He had no more reason to leave the game than you had.
And although I don't want you to leave the league: I don't believe Cheong is a cheater.

I understand, that this is totally a matter of what the admins discuss and decide. But I have to admit, I just don't understand why one admin clearly can't live with the rules he settled with his fellow admins before the league started.

Hold up. HOLD THE GOD damn up. I did that for two reasons. It's not god damn bribe. I knew that you sacrificed something to play with me. (time with kids, yada) I also knew that the only times we could play would be really late for me.
So, I did that because!
1) you were complaining about SPP and injury. I said. "bah, i'll just compensate his spp."
2) I can't play "internet connectivity vs!" Even if I can, I refuse to, it's god damn childish.

I am and was
1) PERFECTLY fine with a rematch, even if I had to take 30 minutes lack of sleep to do it
and...
2) You chickened out! I pinged you on steam, on the blood bowl chat on a resolution. It was I who reached for a conclusion on this.

-------
Side notes
1) I just started playing this game this few months. I never, ever took shadowing, Only reason I took it was in hopes that I could tie your skink with it. What ability would potentially force him to keep on rolling dodges? Only shadowing.

2) Dear lord, it's just 2 lv 1 linesman (missing next game), 1 lv 1 linesman (nigging injury) and 1 blitzer (unknown injury, bug causer)
I can replace them, but I need money to do so. I will be fine with the injury if I could buy players with money that i'll get from the match.

3) Sorry if this comes out as angry. But I'm not going to get these allegations go by.
