I wouldn't call Ryan a friend as such-we have only played in three games together (one of which is a chat game).

I just think he is in the right here. I don't think it takes you two days to think of and complete a move. Even if it did, you must have had time judging from your forum activity. You are scraping the barrel for excuses now.

Why don't you tell us what you would have done if you weren't booted, then the community can judge whether you had a chance of winning.

I always think the boot timer is at 2 days personally.
But yeah, that was rude Ryan.

As for the boot - This time i have to admit I am on Billy's side - that is if and only if Ryan booted him manually, cause when i open the game, it displays nothing, like it would be an autoboot.. and if it's the case here, then sorry Billy, but you just have to watch the autoboot time. By the way - i cannot imagine ever not looking at at least the boottimes in a challenge. (i did once when i was playing a 2v2 tournament with ultimaratio - it ended up with maybe 5 boots on me, which ruined the whole tournament for us. That was a lesson worth taking, since i never did that mistake again..)

Ryan - If you booted manually, then no matter how you dislike the opponent, in a challenge you should always wait for autoboot, and in NO game should you boot anybody without at least asking in chat if he was there and waiting time relevant to boottime for a reply. (a few minutes in realtime and a day or two in multiday - but that's just my opinion)

Billy - you are wrong - you had 0% chance to win this. you were broken with practically all your income threatened directly, while Ryan was very safe thanks to both simple distance and blockade in spain..

What I'm trying to say is: Although Ryan did boot (which some may consider unsportsmanlike, and others not as Billy refused to play), it didn't make too much of a difference as Billy couldn't have won.

The game was pretty much over anyway. Just make rules for when to boot that you both agree on, and deal with this game if it's making a difference to the final outcome. If someone wins 15-5 regardless of this first game, then who cares?

Billy refused to play

You keep repeating this but it simply isn't true. I never stated here or in chat that I wasn't going to play. I was just taking a break at a very critical spot in the game. Some say the game was over, I say it was probably over the next turn if I did not pull off a miracle in this turn. So I was trying to come up with such a miracle.

For him not to even say something here or in chat, reminding me of the boot times and asking if I was going to boot, is ridiculous. He sat there hoping that he would have the opportunity to boot me and did so immediately once the time expired and he could.

Him not responding here is very telling. He also knows he is wrong.

This also went for playing

We were playing realtime, i forgot to make it a real time game, i didn't change any settings it is the standard 1v1 strategic template. You were on for at least 30 minutes that night after you stopped playing we were playing real time and then you realized you lost and hoped that you would be able to avoid it by waiting until the last second every time. Face it, im 3-0 against you and im not that great. YOU ARE NOT VERY GOOD

Also sorry i did not respond in the 12 hour period that this happened, i was sleeping and then went to school

I agree with Ryan

I second Mr. Nyancat's notion.

"This also went for playing"

Did it?

Yes, joining and making games implies playing especially when he was on and could have played but was just stalling because he had lost

I agree with billy

Ryan this was a dick move and you know it.

I'm done with you. Don't ever speak to me on the forum again and don't ever expect a response if you do.

whats the score? just 1-0 to ryan?

i think your scared due to being 3-0 and you know you will not win the best of 20 and you will never be able to post on the forum again

PS i did warn you in the chat that this was gonna happen and on the forum, it is not my fault you blacklisted me and cant read my messages

and yes i would be winning 1-0 but he quit because i booted him in a game he refused to play because he knew i had won

"This also went for playing"

Did it?

No, it was never discussed. Anybody with an ounce of integrity would have at least said something in chat or on the forum before just booting me.

"i will boot directly at 48 hours because you know you lost this game and you are now refusing to play"

Check page 2, this was said along with several other things warning you
