Why did I lose by coin toss in the MW Match? I RPed for that, Mystic didn't, and he's given up anyway, so you can't just give him the win for doing absolutely nothing whilst I actually did something towards it. That's not fair.

You both forfeited, therefor coin toss. What happens when you RP late has been explained numerous times to people who raised issues like you just did, including to you yourself, there are 2 such occasions I remember, but what the hell, I will give it another try. A tournament has a number of writers, each week each writer is assigned a number of battles that are to be written that week. When you RP late for a battle, your fate is primarily in the hands of the writer of that one battle. That is why, if they are written by different writers, if you RP a day late for Battle X and two days late for Battle Y, there is always a chance that your RP for Battle Y IS accepted and your RP for Battle X is NOT, even though the accepted one is even more late than the other. When the deadline comes, we aaaaaaaaaaall expect results to be posted as soon as possible, don't we? RP deadline on Sunday>start writing>post results, ideally within a day. This doesn't happen, for various reasons, you rightfully mentioned that a delay of nearly a week with no evident reason is a tad much, and you are right. Ideally they should be up shortly after the RP deadline. What this means, on the level of individual writers, is that we expect them to start their jobs as soon as the deadline passes. And if we are lucky, sometimes some do. The ideal thing for a writer to do is to exactly as the clock turns 12 look up what battles they have to write, look for the corresponding RP's, and get their job done. In the case of the writer of the battle between you and Mystic, someone did just that. He wrote his battles in whatever order, eventually came to Bulletproof Bomb vs BRVR, found none of the participants had RP'd, and threw a coin, because that is what we expect writers to do with fights no one has RP'd for. And with all the battles he was assigned dealt with and his shit sent to Badnik, that writer's job for the week was DONE. Then after THAT, hours after the deadline and after the writer of Bulletproof Bomb vs BRVR was done, you posted "will RP later, hang on". Quite frankly you were just unlucky. I myself don't even blame you for RP'ing late every so often, with stuff being done late all the time by writers and RP'ers alike there was every chance your RP would have been accepted if you stumbled upon a lazy writer who starts looking for battles to write on Tuesday or so, but as it happens you stumbled upon a motivated writer who did his shit as quickly as possible, which, I hope you will agree, is a good thing in general. It just worked against you now. In a way, in this specific case RP'ing late is like saying to someone who has just done his work and is now having a well-deserved rest:"hey! yoohoo! you're not done yet! you missed this bit!". This can be annoying for a writer, his job was very much done. Again, you couldn't know that. Doesn't change the fact that this writer's job was done at some point and that your RP came after that. That the whole tournament is somehow meeting these big delays doesn't enter into that, individual fights are the responsibility of individual writers. |

Well, it's not like Mystic's actually going to do anything with it. I needed that win, he doesn't, so it's just a waste giving it to someone who we know won't bother to RP again. Sometimes, I swear people make these completely ridiculous decisions (GF loses despite him actually doing something, lol) just to piss me off. |

Alex, just shut up. YOU RP'd late, YOU suffer the consequences. You didn't RP before the writer got to the match, that's your fault. That's it, pure and simple. The logic isn't hard to follow. And this goes for anyone. I don't see Spatula flipping out for losing a FF match. |

BRVR is by quite a margin his bot with the best record this tournament and to get a bot in the play offs technically he needed that win a lot more than you do I'm not sure if he has given up, he is just the laziest RP'er in the universe.

Still, it still comes off to me as ridiculous- being the only one to RP for a match against a FFer and still losing to them despite that. It's like losing to your own shadow in Shadowboxing. Anyway, all RPs up. |

It's not a question of who needs it more, or else I would win everything all the time because I definitely need the wins much more than everyone else (FACT). It's a question of who RP'd on time. You RPd on Monday, that's WAY after the deadline and you know this. |
