pacman Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 C-O beat Fregon today soundly 100-67. It was a good game, i enjoyed playing. It turns out however, although fregon never said a word during the match, Nostromo was 20-40ms over the ping limit. The ref however didnt randomly check lag as he was sopposed to so there was no lag limit. Because of this technicalilty and Fregon's excessive whining about them losing because of 20ms ping on one person (oh my such a travesty), an otherwise good match was ruined and they were granted hastily a rematch without the C-O captian being consulted. Total BS. I don't know everything that happened. But what ive been told is there will be no rematch, however Fregon was awarded 2 points for losing instead of 1. I post this to notify people of the events that took place today. I'm not attacking or bashing staff in anyway although their resolution to the situation left a sour taste in my mouth. They took care of the situation deftly with little confusion. Don't let yourselves be hustled by people. Sometimes whining about lag isnt just whining. I advise all players and staff members to read or re-read the league rules in detail. Only you can prevent forest fires. -pacman Quote
SeVeR Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Especcially as co allowed the match to be delayed 10 minutes so fregon could get enough players. They didn't have to do this and if they hadn't it would have been 5v3 and a walkover. Nice job whining fregon.. the rules were relaxed for you and now you get all pissy about one co player being 40ms above the ping. you should have asked at the start so that co could have put in another player.

NBVegita Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Well this is the thing. In every league I've run/overseen/played in the 17th over the past 3 years, there has always been a 10 minute rule that allows a squad to get that last minute player who is say coming from dsb or actually has "a life" and had some things to take care of prior to the match. Now don't get all upset I could care less if the match gets replayed or how many points each side was awarded. But there are always two sides to each arguement. Another fact is yes it would have been 5v4, as I don't think I was the only one to notice johz come in 5 mins before the match started. But say this, one person lagging doesn't seem like much eh? Well look at it this way. Nost lagging meant that there were kills that someone on fregon would have had on him, that instead let nost kill a fregon. Now it just became a 5v4 in co favor again, where the situation might have been a 5v4 in fregons favor. Now I say this because nost is a good solid player, and a good solid player, if lagging a tad, it is worse than a newb laggin to high -*BAD WORD*-. Now granted co had plenty of players there. They could have subbed in for nost, as akida came late and subbed for bounce (I think). So it really could go either way. Maybe Ladd woulda played and it would have had the same outcome, maybe not. I say both sides, neither of you happy, should just leave this match in the past and look foward to next week. I commend the staff, I feel this was a fair and just decision. Quote
DaKillaRoach Posted December 1, 2004 Report Posted December 1, 2004 Should of only been 1 point not 2 - Every squad will see a chance to complain for points now if a host does something wrong. If you look at there score, there is almost a 40kill differnece. 20-40ms isn't going to make that much difference, especially not into the 40s. I'm siding with the CO guys here (Information supported by naed ^^) seems a bit of a whine on words Quote
Stylez Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 I know I'm late on this, but... There were 2 people on CO that was over lag limit and we didnt get a 10 minute hold, the ref said we had 3 minutes to find someone. So we had to play whoever we had which wasnt good... Just my 2 cents... Joker Quote
ddaL Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 you had more than a ten minute hold Quote
Stylez Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 no we didnt... you werent even on Fregon or CO... go away Joker Quote
Stylez Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Either way we got 3 minutes, ref wouldnt let use have 10 minutes... We had to play nokkone who isn't good at 17th at all and skye who just started to play 17th, then Johz went off on a kami spree... So yea, Fregon was a gay squad either way, but my point is, we didnt get 10 minutes and CO had 2 people over lag limit, but nost was the only one staff looked at... Joker Quote
SeVeR Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Was actually already 7 minutes past the hour so host gave you 3 extra minutes from that time equalling 10. But this is ancient history and Fregon are dead so someone close this thread please. Quote
