But what bothers me is the line "we agreed on the 15th." Why not the 8th? What's the point of delaying it by a week? Come on, if I want to win, why should the organizer discourage me from doing so?

Why should I immediately, after signing up for the tournament on the 8th, start arranging games with everyone? I think I arranged a game with Rimple right away, from the 8th to the 12th. And then it was postponed to the 15th. It's a normal situation when there's about a week between games. After playing with Rimple, after the 15th, I started arranging games again, but for obvious reasons, first with Marazhan and Kaliostro. I couldn't arrange a game with them, and after December 22nd, I didn't see Quell online in ICQ even once, until December 30th.

Quell: ok. everything is great. I was ready to play every day. He wasn't.

That's not true! Although he did offer to play until the 20th, I already had two arrangements for games with Kaliostro and Marazhan. I can't arrange a bunch of games at the same time. No one does that. Now I've been waiting for the final for more than a week - there's no progress.

Sergei posted a message in the "Arranging Games" thread saying that he would play with someone (if I'm not mistaken, it was 8mm6), i.e., a non-tournament match was planned.

And I couldn't arrange a tournament match that day, although I wanted to. It's simple.

Sergei was the one who delayed things until the last moment.

Once again. Two absolute facts that are beyond doubt. 1. Kaliostro was unavailable and couldn't play from December 15th until almost the new year. 2. Marazhan couldn't play from December 20th until the new year due to computer problems. HOW COULD I DELAY ANYTHING HERE??

December 24, 17:50 - the only message from Sergei in the tournament thread.

Because I usually arrange games in ICQ. And when I see that people are offline in ICQ, I decided to write in the thread, maybe they'll see it there.

But it's bad when there are 5 days between games. In tournaments, you should plan more time, especially for cases where people disappear and for various reasons. I see that there's more time for games in the playoffs.

Kash, why are you trying to dig up something to make it seem like I'm also to blame? No one will ever convince me that an opponent CAN'T play their match without writing all sorts of false reports like: 111, I was born in my butt and decided not to continue.
