I don't quite understand the wording of the decision.
The deadline for Ro64 was January 22nd.
You appeared on January 20-21 and stated that you were initially busy with other tournaments, and then your computer stopped working.
Nitro was trying to contact you at that time and managed to schedule a game, which he informed me about.
Given that the tournament was extended due to ODD and the language barrier, I decided not to immediately award a technical loss, especially since Nitro was ready to play, and you agreed on a game for Friday.
You played a total of almost 7 weeks on HL+U, and in two days, I don't think you should complain about your opponent, but rather thank him for dedicating so much time to the game, which, with proper "pressure," he could have easily skipped.
The fact that you wrote 6LM10A instead of some quick template, which could realistically be played in 7 weeks of game time, I consider to be solely your personal tactical miscalculation; this is my opinion.
Initially, I wanted to decide based on the save files, which I told you and asked you to send, along with the password. In response, you said that if we look at the save files, we could declare Nitro the winner, but you have your own plan on how to win this game.
At that moment, Nitro was not online in ICQ. I wrote to you that you should wait until the evening, and I would contact you later after I think it over. After 30 minutes, you left ICQ and did not appear again. Nitro came a little later (an hour after you left). There is no point in asking for save files from one player without the password of the second player.
The next time you were both ready to continue was Wednesday (January 29th). Should I even say that it would be, to put it mildly, unfair to the other participants in the tournament to put them in strict timeframes and deadlines, while making an exception for you.
Considering the above, I believe that the reason for the technical loss – missing the tournament deadline – is more than fair and understandable in all aspects.
