speed games ruined by downtime

[Shrinky]

any chances of them getting deleted? we were warned beforehand about the downtime, but not WHEN it would happen. we got a 4 hour time frame warning. thats all.

Well if they don't - then they might lose their speed games?!

Swings and Roundabouts.

*shrugs* normally at my time the maintenance work and all go on at around 6-7 am CDT.
and when i started it was roughly 4:30 am CDT. i figured one dubs game would be good enough in that time span.

PS- i won the game, but it wasn't fair on my opponents as they also faced same prob as me(only difference i got an advantage early)
my partner got eliminated before theirs and i got his terts and managed to use those armies to good effect(and dont 4get about the deffered armies also)
so by the time one person had deadbeated from the other team(1 person was carrying on) i had the upper hand and this really screwed them up.

You cannot always gauge exactly how long a game will last. Not sure how many speed games this downtime effected. The downtime was not long, but did in fact leave my speed game lopsided, because not all players were able to return in time.

ah well. im sure the 20 points wont matter in the long run

since i won, i should by all rights not be complaining right?

but no, im asking for the game to be deleted because it was skewered and not won in the "perfect manner"

and dubs games normally last 1 hour. which is y i joined only dubs and no singles games.

true. but they wont do it. they posted warnings a day and a half in advance about the downtime. its good u feel that you didnt win in a sportsman like manner. pm them, offer to play again.

??? the NOTICE did say exactly WHEN it would occur as well as how long it would last.
I took turns in two games right before the time frame began and was still nervous about doing it.

ok bottom line, still tough luck for my opponents who didn't deserve to lose this way.
