Wlk777
There's a significant difference when one person can't play for just a couple of days, and that's right before the New Year holidays – due to objective reasons and circumstances. But the other person disappears from the forum and everywhere else for half a month, knowing that this half-month is the last chance to participate in the group tournament.
The difference is significant, and it's immediately clear who really didn't want to play.
Imagine, if I didn't want to, I would have disappeared too, and then, a few days before the New Year, I would have suggested, "Let's play a game, Wlk777, on December 30th or 31st." And you tell me that you CAN'T play in the last days before the New Year. Well, then, I'd say (realizing that you won't play anyway, but I need to make an offer so as not to be considered the guilty party), "Okay, let's play at NIGHT on the 29th..." And what would you think of me if you needed points in the tournament, and I kept advancing without playing against you?
The situation with Marazhan is completely different – he directly told Cash that he would NOT finish the game against me. He has computer problems and connection issues. That's it. No alternatives. Cash writes me a zero. Marazhan advances with his points, and I don't.
Now, if I see that (not because we couldn't agree), but because one of the participants directly refused to play, and the other receives an undeserved zero, I won't participate in such a tournament again...
