Drawkland wrote:Yeah, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed in Qas so far. I realize earlier in the tournament he had some RL issues and some technical issues with his xkoranate file corrupting, but coming back from that only to disappear again in 2 cutoffs and be active hosting other tournaments ... it's a little off-putting.
If Qasden comes along in the next day or so with a response on the matter it'd be much appreciated and we'll be able to continue from there. Otherwise, though, I think we'll have to go on without Qas' input. It's been far too long.

I personally would feel wasted. The concept Qasden imagined, with games taking part all over Atlantian Oceania, could be mantained. One could simply ask for his XML and continue from that, or even resetting the RP bonus to 0. IMO, it's better than just quitting.

Agreed. IMO, one of the unwritten norms of NS Sports is the RPs contribute to an RP bonus.Lisander wrote:I'm not even a Committee member yet (I should be one of them when this IBC finishes, provided I already posted a roster and some RP), but I'd like to say I disagree about abandoning and re-starting the tournament when it comes to roleplaying.

Exactly why there should be some consideration to the games already played. Again, purely IMO.The Sherpa Empire wrote:If EQS does pick this up and get it moving again now, I probably won't be able to RP for the remaining games because I am going to be traveling IRL.
All of this IMO is up to the new host. If I had a place at the IBC decision-making table I would suggest some sort of participation bonus for the previous RPs and trudging forth from there. Or maybe if they have the time, go through and re-bonus the previous RPs.Lisander wrote:The concept Qasden imagined, with games taking part all over Atlantian Oceania, could be mantained.

He found the time to come on Discord, so I don't see how it would have been impossible to post on the forums and tell us what's going on. If he had some kind of RL emergency and legitimately does not have the time to read everyone's RPs and scorinate, OK, but at least tell us.

So the reason to declare an 'arbitrary decision that isn't fit to be decided by the organization as a whole' is the tournament is so delayed IRL that further delay is contrary to the purpose of NS Sports, or something.International Basketball Organization wrote:Section 4: The president's duties are the following: opening the sign-up thread; opening and collecting host voting; opening and collecting constitutional proposal voting; keeping the membership list updated; and making any other arbitrary decisions which are not fit to be decided by the organization as a whole.

Fortunately, things are starting to lighten up on that front, so I'm planning to get my IC stuff together sometime before the weekend with an eye on Saturday evening for the Ro16 cutoff. That might get pushed back to Sunday night if RL conspires against me again, but that should (fingers crossed) be all the delays we have to deal with from here on out.
