Not to be argumentative but stating the faction makes a lot of sense to me.. it makes going back and watching a players' matches with a particular warlord a lot easier.. it's up to you guys but IMHO:

wk#-Player1-Player2 Works a bit better

So:

39-TkortLG-ZippyLE
39-TkortCG-ZippyCG

(those are both actual matches this week :))

Tkort.

I'm not so sure of this. The requirement of a log should prevent any conspiracy going on behind locked doors. The only reason I feel inclined to lock the room occaisionally is because I've seen people private message strategy suggestions to players on vassal. Once a strategy suggestion was PMd to me during an ec game, another time a suggestion was PMd to me but the sender had mistaken my band for my opponent's.

There is no way to prevent this besides the honor system and locking rooms. I only trust one of those.

RE: Locked Rooms

I lock rooms all the time when I am practicing or working on a band or testing map that's not public etc.etc. I never do it during an EC match nor would I want to. EC games are meant to be public as the results are posted. Gal told me to add this so this is water under the bridge. Just don't lock your rooms during official matches and this won't be an issue, thanks.

Silent,

I understand where you're coming from but if you look at it in context it's really not the big a deal. If people watching want to message their friends about what "they think" they ought to do, I don't really see it as a "violation" of rules. The dice have just as much to say about things as anyone PM'ing your opponent. OC

People still aren't scheduling games properly, or filling battle reports out correctly, or filing Logs. 8 logs missing in week 40.
If this applies to you, please try to get your act together.
if you need help just ask.

I emailed DJ Chuckles with my general schedule on Monday. After seeing his post on the weekly thread I posted a response within the same day. I did the same on his "attn SilentG" thread. In both cases I was asking for "specific times".

He emailed this to me Friday night:
Ok found it. Sorry. Hmm I don't get home til 11pm on most nights.
Tomorrow morning should be good though.
Dj-Chuckles

I responded within the hour:
Please send specific times in the future - Saturday at 11 am cst sound ok? If not please send a specific time that works for you.

There was no response, so I set my alarm clock and got up at 10 cst and logged on to watch vassal all morning. After noon I emailed this:
It's now noon cst - I've been waiting all morning despite my love of sleeping in, so I can play you. Please send a specific time you are available. I will not be available from noon-6 pm cst Sunday.

I stayed on vassal till about 2 pm cst. At about 1 pm cst he got on and sent me a pm saying today wouldn't work afterall and what times were good for me on Sunday? I was out of the room and when I came back and replied there was no response. I waited almost an hour and then he either logged or got booted - no way to tell.

I'm looking for a forfeit because he has been impossible to contact, impossible to pin down a specific time to, and has no-showed on the very inconvenient and vague time of "Saturday morning". I don't think I should be obligated to spend four hours on vassal looking for him, but if I do I expect to get a game in at least.

It seems really easy to avoid ever getting a forfeit if you just never send a specific time, even when asked in EVERY correspondence to send specific times.

Yet we still have time tomorrow. We had no formal time set yet.

I did not receive the email due to a turned off phone until 12:30pm which is about the time I messaged him.

I have not seen a message between us setting a specific time. I'm also finding that OldCoast and I have had a previous indescretion between us and he is biased against me.

Scheduling Games: Make sure you contact your opponent via email and agree on a time to play.

Don't say: " Hey I will be on Vassal all night tonight, come find me".
Do say: "Let's play at 8pm CST on wednesday", etc. Save your correspondence. This will be important if you'd like to ask for a forfeit.

Forfeits:[/b] Forfeits are only awarded only for scheduled no shows i.e, you and opponent scheduled a time to play, you showed up waited for THIRTY minutes and your opponent never showed up. We ask if there is time in the week you still try to reschedule the game before asking for a forfeit.

You also need to have proof of corespondence if there is a dispute on the agreed time and the game is not played. If you can't prove you agreed on a time. it's a Disqualification, no points.

If you have a scheduled game and your opponent is M.I.A and you made an effort to get in touch you may also be awarded a Forfeit, that is up to Gal. I would suggest a lesser reward (say 250 XP and 250 CP, and minor item) for these type of situations as opposed to full victory rewards. (TBA)
