It doesn't matter whatever we do, the result of that game that he played will not end up mattering. So the fact that a game has been finished is really not relevant. But if we just forfeit all, then (assuming all players like adorables) it will favor those players whose games against him were on adorables-friendly maps.

I'll throw my hat into the ring, as I said earlier, I've not quite made the Top 15 ever but I've been close and have been close for awhile now. Also, I play fairly quickly so I can make up for lost time.

It's up to you guys though.

Okay, the replacement has been decided. Me and 22swarm discussed this and decided that the fairest thing to do is to allow TGH the choice of claiming his win against amoffett.

That's a tough one, cause that's not fair at all to amoffett, and yet I hate Skull Duggery... I'll replay though, because I'm not going to make a fellow DL'er start at a disadvantage.

That was not very nice. You've given him a choice, but really no choice at all, he earned the win, but yet to claim it would make him look bad (undeservedly so).

I, however, will accept the decision that's been made, and it's great to be included in the tournament!

I think all the participants are reasonable people and no one (including you) would've faulted him for claiming an earned win. A classy move regardless. So feel free to start your matches with amoffett everyone.

In other news, we are yet to receive any results from the following:
Greatgonzales
poweewee
pharmafan
YourBunnyWrote

Does anyone have any ongoing games with them? I know some of them might be more focused on the World Cup atm, which is fine for now.

oh sorry, i didn't notice. I'll need to consult with 22swarm whether to award the win or not.

This is why I don't like adding new players in the middle.

If Trumpet had played even one more game I would probly agree with you. Even with this I was initially slightly opposed. But this hasn't been much of a hassle.

Anyway, I officially confirm that amoffett may join and that he will not enter with a loss

[amoffett11]

The only point I was trying to make is that it's better to make the decision yourselves, as tournament hosts, than to put the decision on one of the players.
