Lazer/Elfy

I'm having comp problems going to have to reinstall the operating system after getting a virus, should have it fixed within a few days.

I'm not going to say I'm totally fixed up but I've removed 6 trogans, 1 malware, 4 rootkit's, and 2 hijack taskmanager files.  We'll see I believe I got the problems

he said he was avail. after 6pm PST, i waited online for 4 hours, the only day I could do it.

I think seeing as TnDep is having computer issues, further time could have been alotted.  At least advance the guy that is going to win? lol

good luck I guess.

I think maybe you should look at the hours played, and maybe see who is more available.  Many of the hours played by me, were hours requested by him.  Dueling me is pretty much "I play enough, you'll find me if you try."   From what i understand he was pretty hard to schedule in a previous duel.

No offense to elfy, but grizz has a pretty easy run at the bracket now.

Have fun  :aok

Again:

- If a duel cannot be arranged between two players each player will have a chance to post the circumstances in the Bracket and Results thread prior to the posting deadline.  If only one player posts and it is clear that they are making an attempt to arrange their duel then that player will advance, provided their post was at least 48 hours prior to the round closing deadline. If both players post and it is clear that the issue lies with only one player then the player not at fault will advance.  If it is unclear which player is at fault, if neither player posts, or if a single player posts inside the 48 hour window then a random draw will determine which player advances.


These rules are in place specifically to avoid this type of problem in order to keep the tournament moving along smoothly.  You had every opportunity to post in this thread by the deadline to try to arrange your duels just as akELFY did.  Had you done so and didn't get the duel in then you may have advanced by random draw.  More likely had both of you been making an effort the duels would have happened within those 48 hours.

While I've been, IMO, very accomodating with the 48 hour extensions I'm generally unwilling to go beyond that except in rare instances because that limits the next duels to only 3-4 days to be arranged and fought.  I then have to extend those duels at the same time.  Now one or two players are affecting two weeks and two more players (the next duel and the one after that). 

Sorry but I have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and that's why these rules are in place.  I've asked repeatedly for everyone to read and understand them.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Bosco,

Thanks for the fights and keep your head down...two things...when the DI's preceed any statement with "I strongly suggest.." or "You will see this material again.." perform the suggestion or write it down.  Second, it is a head game...keep your body and your wits about you because their job is to find your weakspot, no matter what it is, and exploit it...its not personal, its business.

One last thing...please tell your mother that Uncle Changeup is very appreciative of her that mothers in this great nation are still producing son's like you.  Keep us posted on your progress and graduate honors...it will help you punch your ticket...it follows you everywhere.  Godspeed my friend...

V/r :salute

Ardy would probably win anyways.

<Casts line into Bosco's pond>

 :D


Pffft, you just want Ardy to win b/c you know you stand a decent chance of beating him in the finals.

Bosco's not that tough of a fight.

He took me out in about a minute. That's total time for both fights. Not tough at all.
