TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Rico (FGM) - 10-23-2006 Ok, I'm officially going to from now on Blacklist players that let me and their opponents down! -- and in future, I think my tourneys will probably be on an "invitation only basis!" Please -- if you as a player can't seven tart a tourney game or even just get in touch with your opponent TWO OR EVEN THREE WEEKS after I send out the maps and parameters, your sorry ass shouldn't be in a tourney! If you sit back for WEEKS ON END waiting for your opponent's set-up or turns without doing anything about it like hassling him and then reporting it to me -- then you're too "FRIGGIN' APATHETIC" to be in a tourney! If you only can get out a turn rate of on or two a week -- WTF WERE YOU THINKING OF SIGNING UP FOR A TOURNEY??! If life throws you a curveball and you can't play for a while, have the DECENCY AND MAKE THE EFFORT TO GET OFF AN E-MAIL AND LET YOUR OPPONENTS AND THE ORGANISERS KNOW!! If your computer blows up -- how about taking a stroll to a local INTERNET CAFE and post a message here!! How hard is that??!! RULE 1: People put in a LOT of hard work into these tourneys, SO DON'T BLOODY WELL SIGN UP WHEN YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF SEEING THINGS THROUGH AND JUST DO A DISAPPEARING ACT AFTER A FEW WEEKS!!! I'm sick of running after players, wiping their arses and blowing their noses for them!! Enough said -- this stuff should be obvious, right? RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Copper - 10-23-2006 Rico, I couldnt agree more. Guys like you need support. Tournies are the best thing about CM and I for one thoroughly appreciate what you and others like you do for the community. I think your approach is a sound one as I honestly cant see how else you can filter out past offenders. If Mixmaster sees this, I sent my set up two weeks ago and have re-sent it twice. Now you are one of the most reliable opponents I have ever had and the previous two rounds went without a hitch. Let me know if there is an email problem etc please. RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Tide1 - 10-23-2006 Rico that is so true. Gary RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Copper - 10-23-2006 I second that. My Gothic Line fell by the wayside because of a ridiculous amount of drop outs so I canned it. It was a pity for the decent players that the tourney folded as they had completed their games punctually etc. and the ones who didnt caused it to be cancelled. Bootie RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - USS Wyoming - 10-23-2006 That's why, if I don't make an initial tourney roster, I'll volunteer to be a sub. I don't think subs should worry about their tourney standing. They should just be ready to give someone a good game. That's how I got in this one, afterall. Happy to do it. RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Copper - 10-23-2006 I just got my turn from Mixmaster! Both games fully underway. Thanks again for this rico. RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - mixmaster - 10-23-2006 Sorry to be so late with my turns, guys (life's been busy). In my defense, I only got your turn on the 14th, Geordie, the first email must not have made it. Thanks, Mixmaster RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - Copper - 10-23-2006 RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - USS Wyoming - 10-23-2006 Mixmaster and I are underway. From now on I'm going to start out everything with a rant. Thanks Rico. RE: TOURNEYMEISTER RANT!! - gangofmao - 10-23-2006 ...Aloha Rico... I'm hoping i'm not part of your Rant... I remember asking to be part of your Tourney... But never heard anything,or received turns... Maybe me missing Junk mail...i'm not sure... I usually do good return rate... Involved in some Huge Operations now... And other then a few breaks,been real good about returns... Not sure of my standing with you... but hope it's OK...
