"as someone you perceive to be beneath you, will register"
What the heck??
Everybody wants this tourny to be something good. Ok, I agree. You also don't want to be holding your breath for ages. Ok, I agree. When I say that I have too much work to do the tourny justice, and say I forfeit, so that e.g. Sunsfan could fight in my place, there's nothing petulant or shameful about it, that's just what it is. I don't feel insulted because I did no such thing. If I'll do something it's because it's right, not from pressure of shame, and esp not for a game.. After a 5am-8pm day of non stop studying (I'm skipping first two weeks of class to get ahead so I have an extra 2 weeks at end of semester to prepare finals), being forced to play a game just doesn't happen. I can't do it. I can't make myself give up hours of sleep that I absolutely need to be fresh the next day, so I can play a game that I'm not even having any fun with. That might sound rude but that's exactly what it is. The kinda thing that the harder you force someone to do, the least he's gonna want to do it.
Back during summer I coulda pulled it off, but not now. So.... In my POV I wasn't going to put up any good fight, so from there the next best thing was to forfeit and let Sunsfan do the finals - I mean this is a game right, nobody's gonna go on court martial for it - which would make for as good a fight -- and that's what everyone here's really after. Quality fights.
Well I guess not. I spent hours last night in the DA and I'll be in there some more today. If Batfink doesn't show up by sunday night, I will forfeit though.
