You were 1 win from heading to the final mate only the top 2 from each group.

I do not recognize any unofficial rules, mostly because of the inconvenience.

There is no official rule to respect 12 hour courtesy.
However, because of the fact that you did not accept your invites within the allocated 24 hours, now you are privileged that every your game will be started with you having first look at the map.
If you do not respect 12 hour courtesy rule, then players who joined within the 24 hours time will be "punished" for their joining on time, while you who missed the invite will be privileged to have the first look at every map.

I am not a frequent tournament player and, in fact, before these CC Olympics had never played fog before, but I did not know anything about a 12 hour courtesy rule.
I know that when I accepted my invites, if it was then my turn, I took it. I always try to take my turns as soon as I can in order to keep things moving along. I do remember that there were a couple of people who joined the games but didn't take their turns right away and I did not know why they wouldn't have. I guess I figured that they were just too busy and had too many games going on to take all of their turns at once and the newly joined games would have been at the bottom of their list.
Now I understand and am sorry if I was rude and pissed anybody off.

TheFlashPoint wrote:The information loss from not seeing and recording the board on move one might seem like a big deal to them. It is my opinion that it is not as great a disadvantage as moving second.
TheFlashPoint wrote:Furthermore, it is my opinion that stealth and those who advertise a 12 hour "rule" are acting presumptuously. CC has resources in place to seek rules changes. Seeking a gentlemen's agreement after the fact shows admirable initiative but betrays a lost argument.
TheFlashPoint wrote:stealth's haranguing led me to add to my notation workload by notifying my opponents of my moves.

I rarely have time to log on every 12 hours and I certainly dont have time to record and study the board after each and every round. Because of this I take my moves when I can so that I dont miss my chance.

you and nicestash have missed invites. He seems to be absent now, I saw sitters are covering for him in other games.
I hope you will respect 12 hour courtesy rule

Or should we expect silence on that matter too, since it appears you have all but abandoned this tourney.

If you look at other games of nicestash, it seems like he left the site or have long vacation. His clan mates are covering for him for a while.
If he does not accept third invite, I suggest replace him in finals with whoever was 3rd placed in his round 1 group.

I find it ridiculous that some people just won't exit a tourney gracefully and continue to hang around long after they have been eliminated. Caff you aren't getting any more invites dude and you aren't getting back in this tourney so go away and hide in a corner somewhere. I realize you have a burning desire to make this about you (speaking of arrogance), but again, you are old history.
On a lighter note, try to be upfront with people when you are continuing personal feuds through back-handed forum comments. You are insulting your audience (joke) to suggest they actually buy into the fact that you are attempting legitimate dialogue. We all know we have to first consider the source, when your name is attacked to a forum comment. How many do you make a day, anyway?

stealth99 wrote:Shane I apologize for my earlier outburst. I was feeling quite frustrated. I am still a little frustrated and confused as to why this thing didn't and couldn't get resolved and why questions respectfully sent by pm are being ignored. If there was something I could have done differently to obtain a different result then please enlighten me. I have no desire to be finding myself in these situations.
