So this happened a while ago. I guess I must have missed it because I was so busy lately, and whenever I logged on, no one seemed to know what the decision was. But we [Syndicate] appealed this game a while back, and I just found out that the appeal was denied, with no explaination and when people from our squad tried to approach Pascone, he just ignore them. I just wanted to present the information to see what people think:
Syndicate vs. basingcrew round 5, TWLB
So basingcrew had racked up 14:20 when we managed to capture the flagroom. Unfortunately there was a flag 'jupe' in effect, and the flag didn't actually turn over to us. So 2-3 people ended up staying by the flag trying to touch it at the same time actively showing the host that the flag was juped and hoping that he would do or say something but nothing happened. The flag remained juped and the time ticked away.
With those people missing from the defense, basingcrew managed to re-enter the flag room, but yet we persisted, hovering over the flag and defending it to the death. In fact we never actually lost control of the actual flag itself, but the damn thing never switched over to our side. And so the last seconds ticked off the clock and we lost the game.
The host in the game was none other than TWL-Op Falk, who saw the entire incident and agreed that the game was essentially stolen from us. With that in mind we decided to appeal. There was no whining, no trash talk, nothing. We decided to be professional about it and we quickly sent in an appeal and Falk assured me personally that if they needed, he would talk to Pascone about what happened in the game.
And so we waited. There was never any message given to our squad, aside from a post on the TWL news on the website quite a while later that our appeal was denied.. No explaination given, nothing. Then at the same time, on the TW Staff forum, new instructions were given on how to handle a situation of how to deal with a flag jupe if it occured.
So the flag jupe problem is deemed important enough so that staff has to learn a new way of dealing with it... but not important enough so that an appeal where it was extremely obvious that the flag jupe directly led to the final result of the game was not granted.
Is this fair?
