This week, all games were scheduled after Tuesday night, so the deadline for demo submission should have been Tuesday night.&nbsp; Needless to say, there were technical difficulties with stats and the deadline had to be moved forward.&nbsp; So, when was it forward to?<br /><br />So here&#039;s the timeline as I understand it, taking that stature into effect:<br /><br />Thursday, jan 12 - Week 2 game was played<br />Wednesday, jan 18 - demo cutoff date mentioned by rules #1<br />Saturday, jan 21 - Week 3 game was played, demo cutoff date mentioned by rules #2<br /><br />It&#039;s true there were statistical issues that prevented the demo system from functioning properly. They were resolved by Ladna on Saturday, Jan 14th. Please observe this topic as evidence: http://forums.intldoomleague.org/index.php?topic=584.0<br /><br />If these were special circumstances, which the commissioner considered them to be, then the commissioner may make special amendments to the rules, which the commissioner did. He simply made the mistake of not informing me of his decision until the day after the game.<br /><br />To be honest, I didn&#039;t think anyone should be penalized for not submitting demos in a timely fashion for the first two weeks. The site wasn&#039;t completely done and even when it was, stats took forever to get done. So arguing about who should or shouldn&#039;t get infractions for not uploading demos in time is stupid. If a player doesn&#039;t have one uploaded, his fault - not ours. The point, for me, is that Mass knew he didn&#039;t have a demo to begin with. Any player who hasn&#039;t submitted a demo should be penalized. Those who skip the penalty should be further penalized.<br /><br />PBH&#039;s penalty is the only one mentionable for not getting their Week 1 demos in on time (ie. uploaded before gametime due to the Wednesday of Week 3 deadline being waived because of the website ordeal) was served. This will help shed some light on things: http://pastebin.com/VSjh8hNx<br /><br />Hopefully the log above will clear up any further confusion and now things return to business as usual.<br /><br />Bones shouldn&#039;t have to tell someone 14 times they have a penalty, and then watch that game to make sure they serve it. I think most people would upload their demo right after the match if we were given the option to.<br /><br />Additionally there should be a rule about not serving a penalty, like:<br /><br />- miss 1 penalty: sit out a round<br />- miss 2 penalties: sit out a game<br />- miss 3 penalties: suspended for the rest of the season and postseason (if applicable)<br /><br />It&#039;s a shame to see something like this from a board member, especially when there is no apology either. <br /><br />One thing I find troubling is that you&#039;re all demanding that Mass apologize to you for some grand indiscretion. The continued nonsense on how the board is unfairly duping the league are getting old. You guys are fucking ruthless. <br /><br />Confusion? Misunderstanding? Give me a break. The biggest issue I have with all of this is that demos were a huge problem last season and were supposed to not be a problem at all this season. To be honest, if Bones had done this, this thread would have 6 pages by now instead of just one.<br /><br />Well I don&#039;t wanna write an essay like Jamie here, but all I gotta say is that if you don&#039;t even have a demo to upload in the first place, that makes it more of a &quot;true&quot; infraction than anyone else&#039;s.<br /><br />It took me two hours out of my day to explain to Xenaero through personalized discussion what was going on. I&#039;d just like to remind you that the reason players were given extensions (from what I understand) is because of website problems.<br /><br />For the record, I am not sorry for anything that has happened. I certainly am guilty of not paying attention to things happening in #idlb without a highlight.I disagree with the Commissioner&#039;s decision to let you off easy, but that is his prerogative.<br /><br /><br />I guess I don&#039;t know what to say anymore.<br /><br />COOL STORY BRO<br /><br />
