This is one hell of a game.
No Call-Ins, only engineers and conscripts ze whole game(except for stolen equipment) with some T-70s and T-34s. I take on heavy causalities on ze front and constantly call-in fresh reinforcements to keep ze hold against enemy vet 5 Falls and Volks. The German army continually pushes deep into Soviet territory but Commander Ivan of ze 1st Red Troll Army believes in his comrades and strategic anti-paula blobbing tactix to lead ze Red Army into victory. I dedicate this game in the name of my favorite CoH2 blobber, you inspire me!
Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a marvelous day watching the tournament. I have come here to post an issue I have had recently between myself and Romeo regarding Tournament Rules. Now I understand Romeo takes these rules seriously, i.e. positioning of factions on maps, accusations of hacking, etc...and he has done well to implement and distinguish himself with those rules to a certain extent, which I complement. There is one issue though I do have with the way Romeo has conducted his tournament and that is with the decision he made regarding afk players, and the way he went about said decision. I personally have nothing against Romeo and he personally has nothing against me I believe, however the conversation we had about the issue regarding my opponent being afk and I resolving to have him disqualified for waiting too long(as I have a life and other things to do on the same day as the tournament) went about in the most un-professional manner I have ever seen. I'm bringing this up because I want people to know that this a problem that shouldn't happen in any tournament, whether small or large.
The conversation below highlights what I am talking about:
jove: =(
Cheese:
jove: I can play give me a chance = (
Mohican: What kind of nonsense where suldi why Jove disqualification ?
Mohican: he has been waiting for a long time ready to play ?
jove: i do not know english
miragefla: Ivan siad you needed five minutes
miragefla: but thrity minutes past and you didn't appear
VonIvan: Jove you took to long :/
Mohican: vonIvan coward
Cheese: this is getting interesting OpieOP
Mohican: you do not honestly
jove: you yourself could call me
jove: I waited until you have answered
Mohican: VonIvan you have time to play or are you afraid of ?
VonIvan: I'm not afraid, I just hate waiting/have other things to do.
jove: do not even want to continue to play in your tournaments
Mohican: ready to play for a long time did not you call him igrat.Ya acted like a coward.
VonIvan: He told me he needed 5 minutes to rest, I gave him 30 minutes, never responded to me in that time....
Mohican: Judge here ?
miragefla: We're maintaining our stance on the decision
VonIvan: If he was here in the 30 minutes and had problem he coulda messaged me or on the group chat then
Romeo: what happened
Mohican: you act not fair
Mohican: Romeo!!!
miragefla: we disqualified Jove as he did not appear after making Ivan wait for 30 minutes
Mohican: You judge ?
VonAsten: just play the match
Romeo: lol
miragefla: while stating he only needed 5
Romeo: it's just 30 mins
-HOI-PauL.a.D: PAUL VS OST 2:0
Romeo: vonivan just play don't be a dick
miragefla: can we reverse the changes?
VonIvan: i have a life romeo and other things to do, i dislike waiting
Romeo: oh boo hoo
Romeo: 30 whole minutes
Romeo: von pls
Romeo: you're scared
Mohican: vonivan does not want to play
Romeo: play the game
Romeo: good luck to both of you
The conversation above is a highlight of what happened after I asked a ref, who then gave Jove an additional 5 minutes to respond in group chat or to me personally that he was ready to play. Ofc Jove never responded up until 10 minutes after that when Romeo shows up to argue that he was "unfairly" disqualified. What continued was the worst response I have ever seen from a tourney host, honestly. Romeo I love your tournaments and don't mind how you set them up, but if you have rules and decide to alter them to your own liking in a way that wasn't professional at all I find that quite offensive to be honest.
Anyway, this is what I wanted to let the community know about, and wish in future tournaments Romeo distinguishes himself a better manner around issues such as this one, that is all.
Side Note: For the people who called me a "coward" or "scared", who I wont call-out because that's not the purpose of this post, I wanted to get the tournament over with and go do the things I had to do that day. This is just a game and not something of "high" priority, so please, get a life. The only reason I went with Romeo's decision is because I wanted to show how wrong some people are, as I could have just stayed with the previous Ref's decision, I decided to politely continue the tournament even though the final decision was already made by a Ref of Romeo's 10 minutes before Romeo shows up.....
EDIT:
DISCLAIMER: I have decided to make this public, and I can, as I am part of the party involved and this was published on a public forum. I feel this is better than doing it behind the scenes, as that would accomplish little imo.
