The situations are actually different; in some cases they didn't start playing as 4 and 3 are waiting for one, while in others games on the Hive have been going on for a decent amount of time + groups where deadlines were extended took care to explain how things stand rather than us 3 waiting for a 4th...
Also, I told you to play a new game as 3, for the following reason—your 4th player disappeared and there's no sign of him, but you started playing with HIVES and that's why the party is stalled... are there any other options here to play it differently, if not as a new game??
P.S. For everyone—this isn same show for psychics; if something is wrong in your group, state it concretely + communicate via ICQ rather than HAMMER, so that there are logs instead of one person saying one thing and another saying something else, making it impossible to know who among you is right.
Yeah, what happened was a total clown show, and telling us to play as three when there were still three days left plus an extension—but let's take it in order: I didn't come to the game on Thursday, I admit that, there was a valid reason; for the same reason I didn't go to work on Friday. I didn't know we were finishing up on Monday; as for the ICQ message saying we finish on Monday, I don't know which device received it, because the connection was bad and I was using my girlfriend's PC, my own computer, and I had ICQ set up on an iPad. On Monday, an SMS arrives on my phone saying "we're playing, where are you" etc., "answer urgently"; I appear within 15 minutes, write to Redwhite in ICQ, and he replies that they started as three and are already playing—I wonder how long they waited after the SMS, maybe two minutes?? In that time, I wouldn't even have time to go up to the second floor to my computer. Their actions are clear to me; they really wanted to finish, and as I understood it, in the first party Pir and Bishop had very few chances of winning. At 122 tas, I took a decent Dragon Utopia, at 123 for that money the Archangels were already upgrading etc., and that's why they insisted on playing as three, where their chance to beat Redwhite 2-on-1 was 99 percent. And in general, the mandatory game time by default is supposedly Saturday 22.00, which only PIR couldn't play; we played three sessions during the weekdays, and why the hell did I get a tech loss because I didn't show up on Monday—which I didn't know about—15 minutes after an SMS? On Saturday I was online and saw no one
