Harn said:Wow, African has been posting pretty respectfully & not being a **** and you go and you go act like a **** & tell him to eat ****. If you don't want to do the tournament then just cancel it. You wanted to kick the inactives, great. Your handling of this hasn't been fair or overly transparent though. African posted on the 19th asking for a match-up. Not sure when you gave one but on the 27th you disqualified him for being inactive for 2-3 weeks?
Posting frequent updates in the thread (or even better, the original post where you listed the first round cut-off date and never updated after) would have made this all a non-issue. Directing everyone to the original post and keeping match cut-off dates there in line with the realities of the tournament would have avoided all of this.
You should be glad someone still cares enough to fight for the opportunity to keep playing in this. It was a pretty interesting concept; I got to see one of the matches in action and was intrigued, and I haven't really cared about this game since I played in the Nations cup.
tldr; I don't like seeing my friends getting screwed over like this arbitrarily. You somehow managed to take Marnid's sarcastic wit in his handling of things (he earned a sincere thank you from me for taking the time to run his ladders) and decided that you wanted to actually be serious about not caring. Being stubborn about something like this is just making sure nobody ever trusts you to handle things in the future, much less take the results of this serious.
I don't think I ever told him to eat ****. But you probably know more about my posts than I do...
He also has a teammate who has been a ****, but thats really not the point. The team is kicked for tournament-wide inactivity and problem causing.
And there was a giant picture with the deadlines in the OP. It's still there. All of the deadlines were missed. I also PM'd team captains about activity when those deadlines were missed and let many of them stay in the tournament even after missing deadlines because they still wanted to play. I rearranged deadlines several times to try and get everyone's matches in. So I'm sorry I'm being mean to your friends, but you're misinformed as to both their actions and mine
Right now, I would like to finish this thing so I can get to work setting up tournaments in the format I described before. I'm aware that "no one will sign up because I'm so mean to BkS", so you dont have to reply and say that
Any more complaints about the tournament, thoughts on future tournaments, or letters detailing how Taleworlds should ban me because my education is so inferior to the rest of the forum, can be directed to my inbox.
