    Uh oh a lot of shit been going on in this thread

    But after reading the rules and appeal I believe we can all agree that according to the rules this appeal should no doubt be granted

      I don't really care the outcome of this since I won't be able to show either way for the next few weeks, but this thread is funny and I wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

      I just have to say that from an inside perspective of being in Nasty, Cyclone was a total detriment to the team, even when we were not playing him, during games the guy was always talking shit to his own teammates in the team frequency and was an obvious troll that should have been removed from Nasty, if TWD staff could have allowed it, but instead it was just decided that it was OK to never play him.. I don't get the point that we had to keep him.. but whatever, this guy was a drama starter for our team and we obviously all just did our best to ignore him during games.

      As for that 7* rule.. in ANY league.. really?? I'm ranked 7 in wb and base every year without ever playing a single game.. is there even players that exists that are not a 7* in at least one league?
      How old is this rule? Maybe the rating system was less of a joke back in the days but finding players online that are less than 7 in all leagues when it's time to borrow might not even be possible, the fact that destruct was a 6* in base was already bad enough so I'm not sure the point of crying about his 7* jav rating skills which had no impact the game?

      Regardless, we always asked both the staff and the opposing team for permission to borrow a player before going ahead and each time it was approved... so Nasty did nothing wrong here,
      If this appeal somehow gets approved, that's just abuse of a poorly written rule that is both stupid and outdated, which either way was overruled by the Staff that allowed us to borrow the players.

      Take care

        I dont think anyone knew about this "cant be 7+* in any other league" without putting the rules thread with u.. Its a dumb rule anyway, because without a doubt if someone is a 7* in jav, it has no impact on base. Most of these 7* javs have played many seasons and they dont care about base or really suck at it.

        The thing I am struggling more with is the lack of communication from this so called "league team". I havent read before sunday 5 pm that Cyclone was clear to get benched all TWDT long. Why has this not been communicated with the outside world? Thats just the biggest bullshit ever. And as you can see with this 'staff allowing to borrow someone' is kinda mixed too. There is no 'pure' rule about it anymore it seems. I feel like Henry, Mark, vys and skyforger all say different stuff (I assume they are all in this 'team'). How the hell can you make sure a league is run smoothly if four people do different things? Ogron might have done some crazy shit in the past, but he never had issues like this. Rules were pretty clear to it, or the issues wouldnt even go this far. And why? Because he was basicly solo running it and there couldnt be multiple things said. Like I said before, this once again shows that Henry and Vys cant run this league properly.
        The things they did is copying rules, set a zoner and start the bots. With all the other stuff they have had maybe 5% part of it.

            Even if I doubt the game is affecting mental health of many players, maybe 1-2 last season, I think turban's post is the good conclusion, this is a minor league with almost no rules, we shouldn't care that much. The only thing to do next time is to not allow Cyclone to sign up to avoid this. I rather find an other thing to do than speccing a minor league every sunday night, thought that was a big deal lol.
            Good luck to all teams who gonna faces the mighty Power, and hope to see Terrorist back next season.

              Allow me to make this very simple to any staff member viewing this thread.

              1) Two points separated 4 teams vying for playoffs. Therefore it is completely justified to make sure everyone followed the rules in achieving those points.
              2) Borrowing is a privilege - generally a team should win or lose based on the players drafted by their captain.
              3) The rules - written by Ogron and copied by vys - state clearly that a borrowed player cannot be a 7* in any league.
              4) Nasty borrowed a 7*+ on four occasions, including in two victories.
              5) Illegal line ups = forfeit.
              6) Staff gave ad hoc permission to Nasty to bypass rules and bench Cyclone (a rostered/active player of Nasty's.)
              7) The difference between adding Destruct and adding Cyclone is plausibly the difference between winning and losing.
              8) Giving permission to bench Cyclone is not the same as saying "borrow anyone, no matter their rating".
              9) There is no such thing as a 24 hour appeal rule, despite the low iQ arguments to the contrary.
              10) Power threw their last game against Nasty. This isn't disputed by anyone.
              11) Ogron negged in all but one of his TWDTD performances (this last point isn't exactly crucial.)

              Conclusion: Nasty broke the rules, but they did so with the partial approval of certain staff members.

              The only fair outcome is some kind of head to head between Terrorist and Nasty, with the winners in each league progressing to Playoffs.

              Hopefully that sounds fair to Trasher and Turban as well?

                Do you not... understand how math works?

                I went 7-6, 8-9, 6-10, 7-6, 8-10, and 14-4, for a total of 50-45, in a ship I no longer practice, after finishing 2nd in kills the last two seasons in WB with 100+ kill seasons.

                Don't make me pull out a calculator and embarrass you about how many times I've eliminated you in basing leagues, because the number is real ugly.

                I highly recommend you shut up and move on.

                  2017 -- eliminated by me in Week 5 must win play-in
                  2016 -- missed playoffs
                  2016 -- eliminated by me in Semi-Finals
                  2015 -- lost in Quarter-Finals
                  2014 -- missed playoffs
                  2013 -- eliminated by me in Quarter-Finals

                  S5-S18 -- you did nothing


                  Congrats man, you went 1-7 against me in playoff series and must win play-in games, and you cheated to get that 1 win.

                    fuck claus, did you really need to go back through the TWL site and TWL forum to sweep through every scorebox to prove a point? You need to cool off with getting so pent up over a petty argument or you'll have an early grave my friend.

                      Recommend both team captains take Commodo's compromise offer into consideration and agree to it for changes to schedule to be made. That should be fun and in spirit of the competition. Otherwise an official ruling on whether to forfeit the games should follow asap. Goes without saying that staff members implicated in breaking league rules in question should be abstaining from voting on the matter.

                            This appeal has been denied.

                            First, a precedent has been set to require appeals to be submitted within 24 hours. (This will be codified in future seasons to make it clearer.) Having an unlimited duration to make an appeal encourages anyone who doesn't like a later outcome to attempt to find justifications for replays in games from several weeks past. This doesn't add value to the league, and makes things overly complicated for league ops.

                            The rules for TWDT have always been slightly loose. This has advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it allows ops to make calls to promote high-quality play. On the other, it opens up issues of accountability and fairness. The rules have not been changed or reviewed thoroughly in quite some time. A review and updating of the rules before another season runs is a clear necessity.

                            On behalf of league ops and staff generally, I'd like to apologize for not having the rules more clearly stated, and for remaining silent on some issues.

                            The most difficult is the case of Cyclone. As Ogron clearly demonstrated in past leagues, Cyclone intentionally throws games. He does just well enough to make you think he's not throwing, when in fact he is. He was a legend in EG for doing this for years. In TW base games it's particularly obvious ... he shoots walls and intentionally rams team mines with the intention of causing game-changing TKs. And the smoking gun, at least for me: I have personally seen him admit, in public, that he gets joy out of lowering the quality of games for the "elites" of SS, whom he despises. It was a bad mistake to allow him to play TWDT, and extremely unfortunate that he had to be drafted by one of the teams. However, he hasn't broken any TWDT rules specifically, so banning him from the league seemed extreme and unfair, especially as letting him in was our mistake in the first place. So, instead, the decision was made to allow him to remain on the bench, and to allow borrows to make a full game even in the case of Cyclone being available to play. (NOTE: He will not be playing in future TW leagues. You can call out #justiceforcyclone if you'd like. He's admitted to intentionally trying to ruin leagues, and has no plans to change, no matter what he tells you. He has no place in any TW league whatsoever.)

                            The next decision involved borrowing. Two rules regarding borrowing have been suspended at the discretion of league ops this season, in the interest of playing quality games.

                            First is that borrows can only be made in the case that it would result in a forfeit. So for example, in a base game, if team A has 5 players and team B has 8, team A can borrow a maximum of one (and only one) player to make 6v8 and prevent a forfeit. Then the game is played normally. I think we can all agree that this rule is a bit harsh, and comes from an era when show rates were higher and competition was more vicious, with winning at any cost being more important than playing a good match. Almost nobody is interested in playing a 6v8 or even 7v8 game, especially in 2018. It's just not competitive or interesting. So, with the agreement of both captains, borrows were allowed even when an automatic forfeit would not result.

                            The other borrowing rule that was temporarily suspended states that a player who is 7* or above in any league can't be borrowed, even if they're 6* in the league in which they are to be borrowed. Each time this was done, both captains agreed to suspend this rule. Also, considering that in practice 6* really means anything from 1* to 6*, and is a face-saving "everyone gets a trophy" measure to make people feel as though they're not below average, this rule makes even less sense: someone could be a 7* Jav, rated 6* in base but in actuality be a 4* baser.

                            Apologies that this has taken so long, but at least we've had another good drama thread to look forward to reading over morning coffee, right? Thanks for your patience.

                              Quality post, I'm convinced and thanks for taking problems into consideration for future leagues. Just my 2 cents please don't insert the double elimination bracket, nobody want thunder/cobra every season, if one lose in semi then good bye it's someone else turn.
