Ikrit if you would have told them immedialty to continue to play than it would have been fine but you waited a couple of minutes inwhcih people stopped trying and just kinda drifting... You saw the bot was dead because soon as it happened i pmed you and you were like keep playing but you did not tell them that you just told me

i feel the need to say this :

Zingy - no other tw match went this far before the bot had indeed crashed. So if you truly believe that the game should have been restarted if the score was 48-23 and the bot died would this as well call for a restart? If you believe this is so your an idiot. LD and LJ can be hosted manually, therefore if they game is almost done it should be hosted manually. Ikrit made a decision which he thought was best, and it was the best decision in that situation. You guys were not even close to beating sk8, so there is no point in a rematch. Gl next season.

48-23

was that really the score when the bot died?

The bot crashed at 21-8. And it was in the first 4.5 minutes of the game.

Would restarting really be that difficult?

The rules say if the bot dies, the game should be replayed. This should really be clear.

In nearly every situation where the bot has crashed like this, it has resulted in a replay of the game. There is no reason why this could not apply to us. Earlier today the bot crashed in the game of Pirates vs -Final-. They got a replay.

I believe in spec chat Ikrit had said that 'the bots were just lagging' ~30 seconds after people realized the score was stuck on 21-8, around which point UF started to float around, duclover in particular who i was specced on at the time. A little later when it was obvious that the bots were really fucked, he said continue to play on, but everyone on both sides were just sorta floating around not caring, especially with people like me saying gg bot died in freq messages. Why would you tranny trick people in playoffs, when you traditionally replay those games? The blame here should not go to Ikrit however, I'm a pretty firm believer that the hosts of these games are relatively unbiased. He did what in his mind was the best thing at the time. It is the job of higher-ups to step in and say 'hey thats against the rules and its something we havent allowed all season'. I remember week 1 we made a huge comeback vs -f- something like -12 at one point. Had there been confusion with bots it would have taken our minds off of the task at hand and we would never have been able to accomplish that

Did you even read Ikrits, or my post? The bot was LAGGING. The bot officially died when the score was bigger (about the same ratio).

edit: this is to zingy

How many times are we going to go through this? The bot was LAGGING at 4 1/2 minutes, it did not officially DIE until later when it was too far in to reasonably redo the round.

I'm not going to turn this thread into a series of copy/paste arguments because you keep saying the same thing over and over again. So unless you have something new to say, stop posting.

Now that I understand the situation, I disgaree with you. If the bot died, that's one thing. But if the bot lagged but ikrit told you to continue playing, that is another. You failed to inform us about that. The host told you to continue playing, and you should have continued to give 100% effort in that case. Therefore, there should be no replay.

Regardless, there are too many functions that are part of TWL that a host can't manually perform. If it were part of the rules that manually finishing a round that would be one thing but, especially this season when lagouts are SO important, it's still unfair.

[phYst]

Genocidal.. At the point when the bot actually lagged out it was pretty much over.. There were UFers hitting 9 right away.. The only job to be done is speccing the people.. You think the bots were always here?

[genocidal]

I was speaking generally because I believe the rules are supposed to apply to all games, not just games that people will think will be close.
