Alrighty. And if it turns out that it wasn't, I'll be perfectly willing to change it back if need be.
you got yourself involved when you made that statement GF... and I am NOT even saying that this recent RP of Siphai proves he wasn't acting out of spite, but you really can't say "I'll be willing to change it back if need be" and then later say "nah I don't wanna get involved"

Siphai was a day late, happens all the time, especially in tournaments that involve delays anyway, the one thing that is still odd is that he said he'd RP for Windmill and Parabolic Trajectory and now of those only RP's for Parabolic Trajectory. While normally something like that doesn't require an explanation, I think in the situation that has now emerged here it WOULD be quite helpful.

Just decided to make a quick announcement.

Judging from what we saw recently, it seems that Siphai only RP'd against Alex V only out of spite. so the staff are in agreement that due to this, the loss will now be expunged from the record and reversed to be a Deathstalker victory

That is all, carry on what you're doing best everyone

You bring up some good points there, but something to throw up, you've quoted him there on using Windmill and Parabolic Trajectory for the rest of the tournament. So why is it he only RP'd for that one match (And a pointless MW RP in a thread that seemed long finished) and then leave completely? He didn't exactly keep true to his word there. But meh, like he really cares about this tournament, he'll probably read and laugh, so whatever.


On a less debating topic, just awaiting Josh's results and this week should be up and ready.
What the? The Automaton RP from last week wasn't in an old thread. I made a mistake with the names and said Bad Wolf instead of Bad Idea. I RP'd for that because, well, the guy who RPs with Bad Idea isn't here so it seems silly to just give up.

The ONLY RP I can see you guys ditching is the one I made for Automaton against Clown Breath this week. That's one I should've given Josh heads up on, since it wasn't until I saw Automaton was on the top of his group that I decided to run with him. Given that Josh did an actual RP for that match, I felt like it wasn't a big deal if I RPd against him. But again, maybe Josh pulled punches in the RP cause he knew Automaton wasn't one of the robots I specifically mentioned I was going to RP with.

Parabolic Trajectory I haven't been RPing with because, well, I didn't feel like RPing against IB this week, and I forgot who I was fighting last week.

Windmill I am RPing with because its basically my favorite robot, and it would be stupid to throw away the match against Deathstalker (a robot with 7 armor) and the record for the rest of the tournament.

I left this tournament, or planned on leaving, because its like a year old now and I don't feel like going through old results and RPs to check out what was going on. I've also lost interest in RPing/DC in general, which is some of the reason why RB has been moving slow (although, to be fair, its spatula's tournament, not mine, and he needs to be the one who drives it. I'm just helping out/trying to just get the dang thing finished).

Its pretty clear that you think I'm doing these things to spite you or gf93, but I'm not. Otoh, GF93 seems to think everything is done specifically to spite him, and that no one can possibly make any decisions without considering best how to fuck him in the ass. This pretty clearly isn't true - I gave him warning that I would RP, and he was able to RP thoroughly. The only thing that could be argued here is that my selfish decisions may have not given GF93 enough time to RP to the best of his ability - whether that's true or not is a different story. But this wasn't done out of spite.

Alright, such lines as GF's "And if it turns out that it wasn't, I'll be perfectly willing to change it back if need be." at least seem fair enough, part of me on the other hand thinks we should be wary of creating a precedent regarding sloppy RP'ing, which this specific case may or may not be.
The precedent is this:

If someone says that they're leaving, and then comes back to RP for a match without saying anything, then they forfeit the match. This is because its clear that they said they were leaving simply so people would put in no effort RPs and score some easy wins.

If someone doesn't say that they're leaving, doesn't RP, and then comes back to RP for a match without saying anything, that's entirely fair. You RP with your own risk for this, because they never announced they were leaving.

Fun fact: I almost never make a "other guy isn't going to RP" assumption (outside of a few really obvious cases and for the purposes of a joke) ever since Chris punked me by convincing Ernie to randomly show up and RP against The Godfather all the way back in ARC Vengeance. :v: Also, it's well established that Clown Breath is hot garbage outside of a few lucky breaks so it's not like that's a big deal to me one way or the other. ;)

Oddly enough there's a chance that your RP's for this week might not count anyway for a completely different reason. I was the last one to get my results in this week and I'm pretty sure all the others were in before you did most of your RPs. I'm not sure though.

Amusingly, I did have your fight against Lian this week where neither of you actually turned in a real RP. :P

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Yeah lol I just got a chance to read through this thread and realized most of the posts were from mid afternoon yesterday. I didn't read this thread before RPing last night.

Also Chris owns. Talk about RPing with spite through a proxy.

I was talking about the new precedent Lian is creating, whatever the current status of that is, although IŽve been informed heŽll keep his foot down.

3-1, pretty good showing. Every single loss that Pursuit has had this season has been 23-22, that's starting to grate a little. Along with MDU being flipped in every single match now for some reason. Hopefully I can keep the momentum going, though, I'm needing to finish up with a couple of strong weeks if the rest are going to join Pursuit in the playoffs.

After some very distasteful, argumentative and disrespectful comments from GF93, both on and off the forum I have decided that enough is enough, what I have named Kody's new rule as the Ruination Rule, it will now take full effect here. If anyone is confused about this not being mentioned before, I did bring it up with you guys on Skype around the time of the Seras incident.

So due to these offences, GF93 is hereby suspended for week 10, hopefully you'll learn from this my friend. That is all

This I do agree with, GF was warned like how many times over the course of this tournament and many others... this time he did it after the new rule had been implemented. Clearly he did not learn from his previous mistakes, so it's time to take action. And unlike Deathstalker vs Windmill :P, all staff members have given this the nod.

GF, please use this as a learning experience instead of ragequitting the forum or whatever. You have failed to see things from our point of view or even think of doing so, and instead continue to see it from your perspective and think everyone else is wrong. Please consider our viewpoints as well.

Anyway, 3-1 definitely exceeded my expectations for this week, though that was no doubt helped by Alex not RPing in time for Automaton against Clown Breath :v:
