Originally by: FooB2 personally, red skull wouldve won anyway given the setups. it wouldve just lasted a little longer is all.
is it thier fault an aopponent couldnt be there? is it thier fault it was a dev call and not thiers? no.
its a shame the match went the way it did, but i know for a FACT that if ANY of you were fighting in that tournament, fielding the kind of isk you have to to even stand a chance of winning, then you would choose to have the fight right there and then at the advantage. i recall tyrrax having the same call last tournament when a bob scimitar crashed mid fight? and he still managed to lose, for that matter.
sportsmanship is not an issue.
To IAC's defence, they had pretty much already lost by the time BOB's eagle crashed.
But this also kind of messes up your argument...

well not really, because the basic point is that anybody will take any advantage they can get in this tournament. and rightly so. all you can do about it is take it on the chin. as you have. **** happens and will always happen.
thats pretty much it.

I would hate to be Heinky at that point... I know that situation, and I absolutely dispice it. Not much you could do, since that ship was the heart of the setup. I had looked forward to this, as i do with all matches in Group of Death and Group of Death 2. Too bad they all ended in the same group, its the knit-picks that decide them.

Edited by: Magorath on 08/12/2006 21:15:21 Red Skull lost their 1st match to IAC because we didn't have a full team... Did we start a whine thread with our alts? NO!
There is a schedule that must be followed and if one team needs another 30 mins to sort things it throws off all the other matches start times for the rest of the day...
Terra Incognito may have lost but can't they at least make an effort to keep their self respect? I guess not... Take some responsibility Shin Ra, rather than making a list of your top 10 excuses...

Was a shame to see this match turn out like this would have been a good fight. Delaying would have been a good option but The Red Skull team maybe then wouldn't have been able to make it.
Feel sorry for Heinky as it was clearly something completely out of his control
PS: Calmdown how come you post with your alt?

I sincerely don't hope you are the voice of your alliance. I see no excuses only a report of what happened. No one says that if Heinky hadnt had any problems the fight would have had a different winner, but surely it would have been more nailbiting. We will never know unless Red Skull and BE meet again later on.
Nonetheless I root for MC... and TC, Celes, and Sani Sabik(now that Otherworldly are gone)...

whiners.. blame who ever you want, say what you like. Not exactly our problem they had problems with their pilot.
We lsot our first maych, because I had no power, we were missing another 2 pilots, our team captain go kidnapped by CCP.
So we had 1 guy, the others were last minute replacments.... who were still drunk from the night before... Did we ***** and moan? no. Are BE whinning now? no.

First, if you notice, the original poster and many other flamed you. We actually stuck up for you. Everyone knows who Testy's main is so I would ask you to do some more research before letting your anger talk for you.
I listed the series of events which happened. I fail to see how this quantifies an excuse?
However, should you actually turn out to be someone who doesn't need to hide behind his keyboard when making wreckless comments, we can discuss this issue tomorrow live on SIRadio. If you join the #evetv channel on coldfront after downtime I'll give u the vent ip for the show.

Also, incase anyone hasn't calculated it:
Name Kill Loss Points IAC 84 38 46 Terra 56 45 11 TRS 38 28 10 MC(3) 49 56 -7
This means it is absolutely all to play for tomorrow.
If Terra Incognita win 28-0 then they will advance. If they don't win 28-0 then it is entirely possible that TRS can go through. Baisically, all that seperates Terra from TRS is 1 point in the kill/death ratio. This could be crucial, but it means that both teams must concentrate on winning without loosing any ships.

Well I'll be rooting for you in your next match Shin Ra and the rest of the Terra Incognita gang... Hopefully (fingers crossed) there won't be another ISP issue.
Good Luck in your next Match!

We now go a bit off topic, as the topic is pretty much done for.
I am not expert with the rules, and I am one of those who scroll down to the 'I agree' button :P
BUT, I believe if they were to excersice this 'right', and ban someone for allowing someone else to login, its possible to win in a court, because when I pay for something (in this case, gaming account), it is my right to decide who can use it.
Just like Microsoft and any other company has no right telling me that the license I bought for Office cant be sold off to someone, and even if they try to add something like that to EULA, the court would null it (I believe it happend in the past, but as I am not expert to laws etc, I dont know how to find the precedences).
Such analogy is correct, because CCP already limited the number of simultanous logged in users, hence its not 'copying' of product illegaly, but it is a 'fair use'.
This sounds logical I believe.

BE certainly have the easier match, while the Red Skull have MC, who depending on whether the MC try or not, could be either very tough or easy. Knowing Seleene though I don't think the MC will just turn up in junk to get their bil back.

I believe CCP add that bit in the EULA so if someone gives their login details to a friend and then that friends steals all his isk and sells off all his stuff, he then can't come and moan at CCP and ask for something to be done about it.
CCP can then say well its your own fault we did tell you its against the EULA. But normally unless someone complains they turn a blind eye.

Edited by: dalman on 09/12/2006 02:19:40 I certainly care about my reputation and always try to act with honour. In more 'normal' circumstances, I'd prolly had said yes to wait longer for Burn Eden's pilot. This however, was not normal. Let's take a look at our situation: We're drawn into what's clearly the hardest group in the tournament.
3-4 days before the tournament is to start, our captain (trev) is called in to EVE-TV, and I'm drifted into the team as replacement. Trev was the one who had done all the preparations. I hadn't thought about the tourney 1 second before. One member of our team also pulled out, which we were not allowed to replace. So we're one member short.
Time for first match, vs IAC. A match that's gonna be very deciding. Parts of our team is US (quite naturally as Trev is US as well). One of them couldn't possibly make it to this match. Down to 5 members. We have our tactics lined up. Then one of our euros get a bit of a mess at work. He can't make it, and we didn't have phone numbers. So, 15 minutes before transport to the match we realize that we'll be one man short. That was our battleship pilot, supposed to fly a faction BS. So, we have to buy a BS + fitting of the market and put one pilot who was gonna fly a smaller ship into that, change some some more around, and create some kind of lineup that possibly could have any chance. It didn't go too well, and we lost badly. Not saying we would have won vs IAC with a full team. But it would have been a real fight and could have gone any way. And for 100% sure we would have killed at least their 3 smaller ships if we had lost.
Right, we've lost to IAC. Time to support IAC and hope they beat Burn Eden. And they did \o/. Or, wait, they did not. They got disqualified. Now we're in big big trouble. We've lost badly vs IAC, who then lost 28-0 vs burn eden.
Time to hope MC beat IAC then. Then we'd have a fair chance of progress. But nope. MC get their tactics spot on, but fail on execution.
At this point, we need a big win vs burn eden. We got it. IAC smashed us cause RL prevented us. BE smashed IAC cause of the can dropping. We smashed BE cause RL prevented them.
I seriously don't see how that's unfair, at all. All I see is 3 possibly kick-ass matches that all got turned into ****.
Now it's all down to how these 3 teams do in the matches vs MC and Xelas to decide which 2 go through (though technicly, if MC kick our asses and Xelas beat burn eden badly, MC can still go through). IAC has done well and are already through. We brought a very defensive setup vs Xelas, because we felt we needed a 28-0 win considering how the group was. Unfortunately they did the same, and we didn't manage to kill all their ships. And therefor we're the ones in the worst situation (as explained by Shin Ra).
Had our match vs IAC been a 'real match', and IAC vs Burn Eden been a 'real match' - then I'd said yes to wait for Burn Eden's pilot. Cause I'm confident we would have won anyway. But in this situation... IAC had gotten their (almost)flawless win on a silver plate. Burn Eden had gotten their flawless win on a silver plate. Now we got our flawless win presented on a silver plate.
We're not here for your entertainment. We're here to win. Are you seriously suggesting that this wasn't more than fair considering the situation?
Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me |

Dalman, I think it's fair to say that every one of us in this group has had our fair share of bad luck and strangeness.
Thanks for detailing yours though. I knew about Trev, but the rest... wow.
Good luck tommorow. We'd resigned ourselves to simply going out with a bang and giving you a good scrap. Now it seems we have all the more reason to give it a go. See you there. -

Long and short of it. The hardest bracket of the tournament ended up being the weirdest, with all four "leading" teams claiming at least one controversy, if not more.

I was the faction bs pilot and dont believe a word of what Dalman says, I missed the match because his personal hygiene sux
Joking aside it has been a hard group for none of the expected reasons.
