Also, he has said in the forum now a few times that you didn't get DQ'd for this. He was working on replacing the ships you blew up early, when it sounds like someone on your team started moving around. Then he DQ'd you for the combination of offenses. Making one mistake is understandable, but you cannot be angry about this decision when you broke more than one rule before the match even started...
As a final clarification on this, the blackbird in question that was moving, was me. This is my main so no messing around. The problem with the DQ based on me moving is not having asked for a simple restart. When the start was detected, as a typical BB pilot, I started moving away from the primary combat location. Then the fight was called as a false start. The problem at this point was that there was so much confusion going on, that I simply forgot to stop. At no point was I told to stop, until CCP stated that we we're DQ'd due to a ship moving.
If they had been paying 1/2 of any level of attention they would have noted that I had been moving since the false start.
The simple solution to this, is force a warp out / warp back in. Give a second chance for christsake, and then if someone screws up again,
pop the ship. Problem solved.
I apologize to my fleetmates for being the 'final' reason for DQ, but lets face it, if the obvious communication issues had been made clearer from the start, this problem wouldn't have happened.
*** personal rant: Thank you, for ruining my only chance to take part in this event for this year. damn RL . This DQ seriously has me
wondering whether or not I want to continue paying for this (my emo moment). /rant ***
SUGGESTIONS for future combat :
1) Have a Arena 1, and Arena 2 channels created for official communications.
2) Give out the ENTIRE expected scenario in writing WELL before the event start (we got some surprising rules to follow, 5 minutes prior...
This cannot be considered fare warning).
3) Instead of DQ'ing people when **** like this happens, re-schedule to the end of that day (or next if possible), another alternative
would be to re-schedule to the START of the next weekend period.
That's it from me.
