Guys I am sorry and tell me if you think that I'm not right about this but should the person setting up the match also play in it as well? Why else would they ask right? Well now I have it a dilemma where people who arent going to play in the match ask and I think it is fair to go into the server and don't see the person I set it up with. Instead I find someone in the server that taken his spot and was like 100 times better than him. Am I wrong to think that the person should not ask if they are not going to play in the match or what?

lol

Wow, first this is about me :P

Second, none of the guys who played were 1-00 times better than me


The instace occured, deathwolf asked bill for match, and they started tlaking.

I logged on to motr TS, to try and speed it up, and sand said that he had 4, but did'nt like 1 of his temmates so only wanted to do 3v3.

I ciontinued to tlak to them and eventually they agreed to play, DW was the one who asked me to figure it out, and offered to let me play

I had to leave, he got on their TS, and got IP.

Theyt eventually refused to play, claiming that our team was "loaded with heavies"

Saddly I had to eat or would have played anywway.


I tend to set alot of amtches whether I play or not, just because I have a massive buddy list, compared to most.

If Sand assumed I was play am sorry, but he never asked my thier roster till they were in the server, the easy answer would be to simply ask before

Could I have played would have loved to :D

I know I as part of this. But to me, that is the appitamy of blackballing. "I wont play someone 100times better then someone else". I've been turned down so many times I find it extreamly frusterating.

Explain to me how someone is supposed to get their unique players in if people wont play?

The person setting up a match has no obligation to play in it. Do we all assume that person will be in the match? Yes. But that does not mean he has to, he or she is not bound by ER to do so either.

As a general statment though, please review the rules people. I am getting tired of people saying/doing things that are against them.

I think we can all agree this about me. I guess I've developed some kind of an infamous reputation this tournament? That doesn't mean I don't stop to play in matches even if the opponents team seems like a difficult challenge. This BW so far I've played MotR, RC, a couple TBS with MotR, and played 2 matches with T3P. That means I'm playing mainly the tougher opponents in Republic Commando. I can't seem to say the same for a lot of people who will neglect fighting challenges and go for easy matches. To be honest it's a bit of a shame.

I don't think it's fair that some of us are "not allowed" to play in matches because we're seen to be too good. It's about playing the darn game, and I know Havick feels the same way, as does DeathWolf.

Ussbig set up the match, but as Havick said, he isn't obligated to play in it. There is no rule that says the setter of the match HAS to play. It's expected, it usually is that way, but it's not always what is going to happen. I think this thread is pointless in the sense that it's going nowhere. You're bringing up a foolhardy complaint that isn't even backed by any tangent rule or idea that people believe in. To us it's more offensive that you LEAVE the game before we even start. It wastes our time and we all get mad at eachother.

This thread should be closed, there's no reason for it to be open. Unless someone objects to this aimless flame war ending?

I set it up with USSBIG and no one else why on earth would I play someone that is not the person that I, I KNOW THIS IS SURPRISING BUT REALLY DID, accept a match with ussbig to then find out that he had to go eat. dinner is not something that just randomly happened so he knew about it before hand and then guess what he just so happens to not care and ask for a match and I am sorry for assuming that he was gonna play. Why you guys dont freakin ask for matches yourself and use ussbig as a match getter then he does not play that is not fair nor is it right!

I will say this again because lately it takes something to be said 2 times for it to sink in! I said YES to USSBIG and NO ONE ELSE! I am sorry you feel as if I am black balling but asking me if I would play in a match YOU KNOW YOUR NOT GONNA BE PLAYING IN and NEGLECTING TO MENTION THAT YOU AREN'T is a little low! Asking for a match you are not going to be in is a little stupid. Also nat I dont remember asking for a match and instead just throwing in someone better than me and neglecting to mention I wasnt playing at all, so maybe, just maybe, think about what you say before you show your brilliance to us again.

Ok first, when did I ever say that you did the same thing? I didn't say that. Not even imply it. So don't go bashing my "brilliance". You're only showing us how far your's has come.

Secondly, why repeat yourself? To stress a point? I don't think it's necessary to spam a written document to stress an idea. It's just plain dumb. At the point you're just spamming offensively.

We use UssBig to set up matches for us. Why? Well for one, he spends a lot of his spare time on our TS anyways. For a second concept, bring to light the fact that he has over 400 friends on his list. Where as most of us have 200, that don't all play RC. Mostly everyone on UssBig's friend list plays RC. So he's convenient to set up matches. And most importantly. He's our friend. Why wouldn't we ask him to help us find matches? Sure he had to go eat randomnly. It happens.

Now that brings up the main point. Why is it such a big issue... that UssBig didn't play? What's the real issue at hand. It's obviously not what you tell us, since we've disproved any logic behind it and you still fair at defending you're position. So why are you still going on about it?

Bottom line. UssBig doesn't have to play matches he sets up. For you to assume him to be in it, is your own fault. Not ours. And besides... He was playing in the second one for me.

I have to repeat myself because for some reason you so called awesome people dont understand the facts and had to repeat everything atleast 2 times everytime I told you something I am sorry if you understand it the first time but so far today most have not and I am just making it so that they might not have to re read the post because we all know how troublesome that is. Just like it is a huge trouble to close a game for 20 seconds to ask someone for a freakin match!

As I just can tell you guys that it is really hard , expecially for euro's to get matches.

I think there's no need for havick to call me a "pussy" or a "blackballer" as for me not taking a suicidal match on a u.s server. I wanted to play a 3v3 vs KG with my team, it was actually a 2v2 but my team wanted to bring me in so I told KG Ussbig to get a third. As he wanted to bring in Havick, I just told hm that I won't do that as it's just total suicide.

Then both of them were biatching me for like half an hour or me and I was just tired of it, so I'm just typing this down right now and right here.

He can't say I'm just blackballing if I don't take a match with 2 euro's and 1 ( in my mind just atm, no offense to my clan mate) average skilled american vs a team with 3 americans who are exceptionally good and well skilled, why should I take that?

I'm just telling you guys you should understand that I don't play like all matches on a u.s server, as I'm euro.
On a euro server it's a difference for me, as I just yesterday played vs TX storm and Shakur (2nd game Blackstar).

As it comes to the question on what servers we shall play most americans just say the euros have to play on the u.s servers as the euro's are used to it. And some of them say the euro servers are like impossible to play cuz they just lag there. Guys I just tell you right now and right here that there is like NO DIFFERENCE between a euro playing on a u.s server and an american guy playing on a euro server.I think on this point I speak for all euro's as it's an well known problem there is no rule for to deal with.

well yea my english isn't that great I guess but I honestly hope you guys got my point of this and I didn't want to insult ppl in a bad way as I'm just trying to justify stuff.

Sincerly, Glory.

Well yea by the way I requested (like 1 week ago or longer) a name change to Glory. It would be cool if some1 could change my name and if it's not possible , bp, please PM me then. Though most of the ppl should know that Hellfire = Glory.

ps: I already found a few silly mistakes but I hope you guys will get what I said from the context.

Glory my problem was that you I was asked for a match by your teammate. He wanted 3v3, I only had 2

You xfired me and said "come on you scared to play me"

I only had 2, but before the server was even set, havick logs on, I tell you and instantly "your busy" while in truth you never botted RC or anything while were in match.

As for this easy win, of those 2 match we split them, losing the first by 11 kills, my partner had a ping of 180 and could barely move

You are the top ranked player in this tournement, while you are entitled to pick your team, you asked to play 3v3 I got 3rd, you did'nt like it so you backed outr

thats callwed blackballing, heck you 3 probably would have won

look at your average opponent rating?

You are in first yet you play few skilled oppoenents, every time I get team together you refuse to play. I hold nothing against you outside of your unwilling to plasy hard matches, without a beasdtly team on your side, just play who wants to play

lok, this topic is going to get violent soon

I still reccomend closing it :P

I said you guys were and still are scared to play vs me on the euro server and that's it.

why should i play a beasty team without a beasty team on my side?

I enjoyed this last DW , as it wasn't that hard to get matches and to play vs skilled opponent. school and the times difference makes it hard to get a big/good u.s match going without taking a suicide one.

and I expected you to get an KG, and you just brought in Havick.

whatever, as you said this should get locked, I can agree.

First this topic is pathetic and really shows why a great deal of the vets and extremely skilled players have moved on... The major 4 clans cannot seem cooperate enough to have a civil tourney and people continue to Noob bash and blacklist people... The average rating played stat is a good indicator of these.. I'm sick and tired of the excuses.. Just look at the stats.. I think we are going to implement a MIN average rating played for you to be ranked, its sad that it has come to this but a few people have forced us to this..

I don't really check the "name change" queue, but any moderator has access.. BTW your request was made 5 days ago which is not "a week or longer". It has now been approved... If it was really that important it should have been done before the event started not the day before.
