Why are you agreeing ? Every clan signed up has read and agrees to the rules. Now, the two clans who jumped a couple of places in the Jan rankings want to move the goalposts. Let's just stick to what everyone agreed and signed up to.

not like it's gonna have any impact on your clan regardless but you pop off and have your moment x

1. When signups started only the December rankings were out, that is why these were used. It was clearly stated and no one raised an issue at the time. Now the January rankings are out some want to use that. We will keep it as stated in the OP.

2. REP has not asked to sign up for this event, but even if they had it would be unlikely an exception would be made. Its dangerous to set precedent for something like this. I know they will be a great clan and look forward to seeing them next year.

just for clarity, is that a CD statement, agreed by the CD team?

Maybe you should try and read what the opening post says about what ranking is being used. It is clarified there.

We know that you got some positions, and that S&M gained some too, while we lost some. It's in your interest to propose that those rankings are being used, obviously, but... Everyone complied with what was being said in that opening post by responding that they have fully read and understood what was written there. Keefie isn't trying to "get his moment", he's just referring you to what has been written, what you should have read, and what you should have understood. I guess that "understood" was not a part of the "etc." that you wrote in your post, lol.

If ICON would have lost positions in the January ranking, I'm willing to bet money on it that you would've been the first one to respond to Josko with something like: "Well actually... the opening statement says that the December ranking will be used."

A post by the TO is good enough for me

S&M is anyway first seeded because first two seeded are determined by their placement in last year CCup. So I didn't have personal motivation behind proposing this idea.

What I mean is that regardless of S&M benefitting, caff now has an incentive to say something about it.

i pretty much never read the post before signing up lol. also not really bothered if our seeding changes either, we play who we play and that's it. Keefie knows i'm just having some fun as usual.

on the other hand you do seem to have some kind of issue with me. i'd say pm me about it but i really don't care enough to engage with you beyond this message right now so bye!

I only have a problem with you when you behave like an arrogant knob.

i saw overreaction and i jumped at the opportunity to have some fun. forums are boring these days, gotta make the most of it.

as for being arrogant.. almost never. unless as humour.

We are automatically the #2 seed, in accordance with longstanding rules. The rankings only matter for seeds 3 and below.

C u next time

It's C U Next Tuesday, technically.
