I'm sorry, it was not intentional. What I thought you were saying is that pauses ruin games and that it is very selfish to ask for a pause rather than arrange for a sitter.

My response was intended to indicate that I thought while a pause does hurt the flow of a game, a three day pause shouldn't have too much affect, especially in a non-discussion game. I think Mapu's response was intending to mean that a sitter could hurt the game more than a pause by introducing worse play.

If you care to, could you please clarify your point?

I don't have a stake in these particular games, but having run a tourney or two, I am interested in your take on life events impacting these games.

It's not about the number of days but about the lack of respect. Yes,it's very selfish,that's why I didn't ask a pause but found two sitters in two occassions in last 20 days.
So if it weren't about "only 3 days" would you come up with something else to defend him?
As for what Mapu said - if I found two sitters as good as I am,if not better, why it would be a problem for him to find one?
You all have full mouth of respect and class when you post on the forum but when you need to show it by your acts you fail. It's no problem to you when a player shows no respect to six others waiting for one only.

You made the finals, not your sitter. The other people in the finals should be playing against you, not someone else.

So it's about me again?
Are you saying the games should have been paused for 15 days because of me?

You make everything about you.

You should rather pay more attention about your last two contradictory posts then about me.

If I sign up for a tournament whose rule includes reasonable pauses, then I do not see it as a lack of respect when someone has the game paused for a reasonable amount of time.

What I do see as a lack of respect is when a player joins a tournament and then after one week quits. So I find it VERY ironic that YOU are here talking about a lack of respect.

Yes,you are right about that,I have no respect for that tournament of your's. That's why I left it.At least I don't pretend I respected it like this one does.In your tournament people doesn't need pause to delaberitely delay games because they have "let the morons wait for my orders" option.

Unpause? I need those 1400 .

Sorry brew, another player is away until Sunday.

Well, I will be on vacation from tomorrow until the end of the month. I expect to have some sort of internet access, but there is a chance I will not have decent access. Should I find a sitter or ask for a pause?

Keep the pause up IMHO.

I will not need a pause.

???

lets doo doo stain!

Bump, get these unpaused!

Hi everyone. I'm gonna unpause these now. If this is against the wishes of anyone, or if rdrivera needed a longer pause or something just send me a message or email.

I've turned on wait for orders mode in these games to ensure anyone with spotty internet access is able to get their moves in per the request of the TD and assistant TD. If issues occur with this setting being abused then it will be disabled.

Poor GT thread,nobody feeds you,don't die on me now...

Clear.

The final round will determine a winner by most number of solo wins. The tie-break will be total centres (counting equally from draws and survives).

If you require a pause, please e-mail @ webdipmod feel free to cc myself or zultar. Do not vote pause.

Let's all have fun out there.

Your's truly Lando the dethronized GT director!

The waiting for orders feature is supposed to be a measure of last resort not the freaking norm for every phase. Get it together people.

Nice said! Now you are saying which power you are NOT. Rule 3 violated.Again.Welldone.

Split, do everyone a favor and NEVER reference Rule #3 in regards to this Gunboat tournament again. The site may actually explode due to excessive amounts or irony the next time this occurs.

Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

Only rule that matters.

Ok,that's your excuse for breaking the site rules repeatedly. I know you are allowed to break it but still...

phew!!!! So I just caught up on the last month of posts... what drama! Looking forward to a first complete game in the finals... I started a new job June 1, but looking forward to playing with all again soon -- maybe as soon as next month after we get our second quarter financials out (and kiddies are back in school!)... Fairfax - if you win, I expect a cut of it for helping you squeak through that first round!
