CastleGAZ (04/21/2009 17:52):
Okay, but I can't right now. Let's do it in 30-60 minutes?

Pit (04/21/2009 17:53):
Better today. I'll be waiting, let me know
Pit (21:12:45 04/21/2009)
Where did you go?
I waited until 22:00. The opponent was online. No response from their side. I received this in the morning:
CastleGAZ (04/21/2009 23:19):
And my sister needed the internet, so we'll play sometime this week)
Pit (04/22/2009 8:22):
In such cases, you need to warn me
April 27, 2009.
Pit (18:46:54 04/27/2009)
Hi! When are we going to play?

In the next few days... I don't have any time at all
May 2, 2009.
CastleGAZ (19:12:39 05/02/2009)
Hey) Shall we start the game today?
Pit (19:24:41 05/02/2009)
Hi! I'll probably be able to start around 20:00 (Moscow time)
CastleGAZ (19:26:02 05/02/2009)
Okay
Pit (19:59:39 05/02/2009)
I'm ready
CastleGAZ (20:00:44 05/02/2009)
Okay, let's start in 10 minutes
Pit (20:00:57 05/02/2009)
Okay, let me know
Pit (20:29:40 05/02/2009)
It's been half an hour
CastleGAZ (20:30:48 05/02/2009)
Sorry) Let's start
Pit (20:31:12 05/02/2009)
What map?
CastleGAZ (20:31:34 05/02/2009)
Let's play on the hive
Pit (20:32:05 05/02/2009)
Okay
Pit (20:32:11 05/02/2009)
Hama?
CastleGAZ (20:32:50 05/02/2009)
Heroes*321 123
Pit (20:33:45 05/02/2009)
I'm playing red, so I guess I should create the game? Join
CastleGAZ (20:34:10 05/02/2009)
Are you?
Pit (20:34:20 05/02/2009)
Yes
CastleGAZ (20:34:31 05/02/2009)
Okay, create it
Pit (20:34:39 05/02/2009)
Already
Pit (20:46:57 05/02/2009)
Took a break, join
CastleGAZ (20:47:34 05/02/2009)
Okay
We played for 40 minutes over 5 days.
CastleGAZ (21:26:36 05/02/2009)
They won't let me play right now... I'll only be able to play later!
Pit (21:27:00 05/02/2009)
When later?
CastleGAZ (21:27:57 05/02/2009)
I don't know, I'll let you know
Pit (21:28:22 05/02/2009)
I have 8 tournaments, and I've already been wasting my time on you for two days
CastleGAZ (21:28:59 05/02/2009)
Sorry, I'm annoyed too
Pit (21:29:20 05/02/2009)
Today or another time?
CastleGAZ (21:30:05 05/02/2009)
Today
Pit (21:30:19 05/02/2009)
Okay, let me know
For 2.5 hours, I observed the opponent's presence online in ICQ and complete disregard for my waiting.
Pit (23:55:51 05/02/2009)
Today in Moscow time will end in 5 minutes
Pit (00:48:04 05/03/2009)
I have no desire to agree and wait for you for hours again. Before signing up for a tournament, you need to think about whether it is possible to participate. And you also need to learn to respect your opponents.
ICQ logs and the save will be on the forum, let the organizer decide what to do with you.
The result for me: 8 hours of waiting, 40 minutes of play, two evenings wasted on poker instead of 2 tournament games.
Unfortunately for me, the map The Hive implies contact with the opponent no earlier than the third week, so I will be able to defeat him no sooner than in 15-18 game days. Extrapolating the existing experience of communicating with the opponent into the future, I suspect that the game will drag on for another 20-30 real hours, which is absolutely unacceptable for me at the moment.
Yes, I am very angry, and I don't hide it... I will not attach the save and have not looked at it yet. I am waiting for the Organizer's decision.
Sincerely.
