can you try contacting lparsona? He has disappeared. I tried messaging him but he will never get it if he doesn't log in, he hasn't been here since Dec 1, is he banned? Is there a time limit for the game does it have to end before a certain time?

He's not banned for as far as I know. My partner hasn't joined either. Well, it's long term games, we can wait a couple of days right?

Otherwise we'll get a replacement I guess.

There are lots of people looking to play, so since you are confirmed, you should get a shot at finding a replacement player if your partner doesn't show up first.

I will wait until all the teams start, but if he doesn't show up then or after 2 days, I will find another player.

Really... talking about replacements already? This is not unheard of for members to take a week off. I think we should not have replacements...you pick them! LOL.

But really it would be like joining a game and having the others not play...part of the "Risk", I guess. Plus look at all the work if this was as big as it will be if we had to do this...remember this is about team. You need to pick a better teammate that will not go out and get drunk and not show up for game day.

Sorry, but I vote for no replacements, but I know how you feel if it was me, I would make sure next time I pick a better teammate. Dnag those "No-Shows". What a way to let your team down!

Basically I agree with Thorpe. It is supposed that your teammate is a player which you trust in, since his faults are your team's faults. No way to escape from that.

But, ok, this one looks more like a friendly tournament than an official tournament, since I can agree with granting a few days to Westchester to find his mate or pick a new one.

But, what about sekretar banned? Knowing the very large D12 tolerance it's easy to understand that he made something really bad. Practically it's like he decided to leave the site. Why did you end the game? It is not my fault if my opponent has been banned. Did you end all the games sekretar was in? I don't think so. There wasn't any rule in this tournament speaking about substitutions. Specially in the case of a player banned, it looks to me such a great grant! It's like you want to encourage bad behaviors. Spartakus had to finish the tourney playing alone. Not very nice, I know, but in my opinion it would have been the right action to do.

I don't want to look biased, because it was the game I was in. Suppose that Spartakus' new teammate will be banned too. Then what? The game will be ended again and he will pick another mate? Oh well, it can be a strategy to avoid the losses. It won't happen, I know, it's just an example to demonstrate that these rules are lacking. I accept any decision but I hope things will be different next time.

D12 stop your tolerance please! I have no problem to be punished if I deserve it. But I want the same thing for everybody here.

They did that not because they think spartakus deserved the loss, or that you and your teammate didn't deserve the win - they did that because they think at least you and your teammate deserved a good game.

lol the bishop, never thought of that. Well I trusted lparsona until now, Fendi says he is not on any verge of getting banned, so I think he just isn't here, yeah I guess I either need another team mate or use my other account as my teammate.

Bishop, I will still have you and Crystal play against Spartakus' team. I gave him 72 hours to find a replacement teammate, and if he cannot then I will substitute the next team on the waiting list. Same goes for Westchester's missing teammate.

That wouldn't be fair; the players should choose who they want to be partnered with. Many players might not get along well or have similar fighting strategies.

Lol wetchester, I wouldn't use your other account - it's only still there because you don't use it.
Just get a teammate :)
