/queue x1

[Umlaut]

Sirius9121 vs. tris has started (a few days ago, but I forgot to post about it).

Datisi vs. Umlaut has started.

/in to replace if needed!

I'm afraid the tournament is closed to new entrants at this point, but assuming we do this again I'll put you on the mailing list!

[Datisi]

Datisi vs innocentvillager 0-1 by resignation

[Dannflor]

menalque vs. dannflor 1-0 by resignation

[Umlaut]

Menalque is auto-queued x1.

And congrats to IV on having already finished all his games with a score of 8½ out of 9, which guarantees him at least a tie for first place!

(Formally if a tie occurs I'll just allow it to stand since there is nothing in the rules saying otherwise, but if the players want to play a tiebreak game as a matter of personal honor then I can't exactly stop them.)

[Sirius9121]

Technically the only one who can tie for first is me

[Umlaut]

Going to just throw this out there, in case anyone is unclear: If you have a legitimate claim to a win (or draw) by time forfeit, please don't feel you owe it to your opponent to be 'polite' by allowing them to play on. Time is a resource in the game, and letting your opponent take more time than allotted, while you yourself stay within the allotted time, is allowing them an unequal advantage and arguably is not playing to win.

If you think you may have a timeout claim but don't want to do a bunch of timestamp math, you can ask me and I'll do it for you.

[Menalque]

Menalque vs Tris 0-1 by resignation

[Umlaut]

Menalque and tris both auto-queue x1

[Umlaut]

As a result of Sirius9121 being banned from Mish-Mash for a week, I'm considering him to have forfeited his ongoing games: Umlaut vs. Sirius9121^* and Sirius9121 vs. tris. Once his ban expires he will be allowed to queue up for his remaining games.

tris auto-queues x1.

---

* I'm aware that this ruling potentially creates an appearance of impropriety since it allows me to claim a win in my own game, so I got a second opinion from Menalque, the arbiter for my own games, before settling on it. If nonetheless someone feels aggrieved they are welcome to say so and I will consider revising this ruling, though I'd prefer any criticism to come with a specific alternative suggestion. One way or another it seems clear to me that Sirius' ongoing games must end, since it wouldn't do for him to get the benefit of extra time as a result of a ban.

[MURDERCAT]

Seems fair to me

[Umlaut]

Oh hey, happy scumday, MC!

[MURDERCAT]

Thank you

[Umlaut]

[Umlaut]

MURDERCAT vs. Menalque has started.

[Umlaut]

Datisi vs. Gypyx ended 1-0 by time forfeit.

Gypyx must manually queue for at least one more game in the next (expired on 2021-03-23 00:08:00).

[Umlaut]

Unfortunately Gypyx' allotted time to re-queue has expired, meaning he forfeits all his pending games. (He may play out his one ongoing game if he likes.)

[Gypyx]

oh uh...

i hate myself?
