thing is, late results are not unprecedented here, but, regardless of whose fault it is, this is beginning to make the extremely strict rule against RP'ing late like a bit of a joke to me

People constantly waiting until Saturday at 11 P.M. to do all their RP's has always been a bit of a joke to me. :v:

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.

Touche mate but you know what I mean don't you? Badnik implemented an RP rule that's simply a lot more strict than what's usually used here with the idea of running a stricter tournament altogether, yet at the same time we find ourselves between rounds 2 and 3 and the tournament is already over a week behind on schedule. At the same time I can't help but notice Siphai clearly RP'ed late for Hephaestus last round, asking for leniency, and being granted this, while at the same time the fight card then said and still says "RPs must be in by Sunday May 3 at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. NO EXCEPTIONS.", and that the staff topic says "Remember that anything past 12:00 AM EST (that is about 3 hours from now) WILL be considered a forfeit. NO EXCEPTIONS." which is clearly proven to be false by the fact Siphai won his fight.

And for the record, I'm all in favor of leniency myself. And I equally well know that delays happen, but all of these factors together make me wonder what the deal is with the "RP on time NO EXCEPTIONS".

Honestly I haven't payed much attention to that. I couldn't even tell you if would have been applicable to any results I've had to do so far, but I've got the more flexible deadline standard so ingrained in my head that I'd have a hard time saying "sorry you posted 12 seconds after the deadline lol u lose".

That's fine but if every writer is given that freedom it effectively becomes "writer's discretion", which is exactly what it has always been which means there isn't a stricter rule at all :P

Which I'm in favor of, just saying

I can see it from both sides.

I mean eons ago we did operate under the hard deadline and if it was late it was a FF, end of story. Now granted results were typically up at some point on that Sunday so there wasn't much lag in between the deadline and results posting. At any rate it was a useful deterrent to people RPing right against the deadline most of the time.

Now we've had the "soft" deadline for quite awhile. While I think it's been a fairly good thing overall, it has lead to some sticky situations over the years. Since it was dependent on who was assigned what results, some fights that people RP'ed for later would count while RP's that got in a bit sooner could be counted as FF. NOW MIND YOU, that could all be avoided if people wouldn't be forever pushing against the time limit in the first place. And I know there has been several debates on people "not having time" during the week to do RPs (and I'm not going to get into the validity of using that defense :P ).

Now I do like seeing less FFs, so I'm willing to look the other way if someone RPs slightly after the deadline. If Dylan wants to hold fast to the rule, well he has the final say on overruling that and turning it into a FF.

Results are up...

...and fantastic, got a perfect week! Always great to see that happen, particularly since it now means Conks and Mamba have wins. And I've hit my 200th win because of that. :D

One win by FF. Not too happy about that, I did think I'd be able to bring myself back into contention, but I guess not. Hopefully I can have a better week this time around.

Well you do have a knack for putting a halt to my win streaks and you have Harbinger this week. :o

But 3-1 is pretty cool, even though poor Ridley looks pretty lackluster so far.

Rocket Knight is in very good form, ok so it was 1-3 which hurts heavily but it was a difficult week. I'm really proud of Rocket Knight doing the job at the moment so at least I'm pointing at the right direction. Gamma Ray I thought was going to cause some real problems, but I coped the pressure when RP-ing and I had to make sure it was right.m
