First things first. And please read this paragraph if nothing else!! It has been noticed by the admins that the MD scheduling has been a shambles from some players. Most of you are very good but some of you; some or all of the time are woeful. MD threads are for organising your game, for your benefit, your opponents, the admins and the smooth running of the league in general. Steam is fine to chat in and organise a time. But please post full availability here on this thread plus the time agreed always, no matter whether you have contacted each other by Steam, psychic thoughts or carrier pigeon. Also please post availability within the time period stipulated on the MD thread. Guys, I hate to do the whole angry Admin thing but it really has become very loose, and more and more players are carving out time in their week to play, sitting there for 30mins or more for a no show, and then having to rearrange again, it pisses people off!! We will be handing out Admin results if people don't comply with this, so don't let us down guys.

Please post your full availability by Friday 16th 20:00 GMT and have matches played by Tuesday 20th 22:00 GMT

Sorry mateys, don't mean to make adminning harder. It was a bit confusing without the threads last week and I'm sorry for my first ever no-show as a result of some unexpected relationship drama. First time I had any of that in 6 months time, so don't expect it to happen again soon.

I'm available saturday 15:00-18:00 22:00-23:00 gmt+1 As well as sunday 12:00-18:00 gmt+1

Sounds good squiggy, although I (maybe) have a 40s /turn game an hour before that, so it might become 9:10/9:20. Is that alright?
In all likelyhood I'll be ready to play at 9:00 though (your time)

Would 10pm your time be better? That way you don't need to rush if your game carries on, and we don't need to rush. Unless that means finishing too late for your liking.

Oh I responded in the 40 sec tourney. Everything is okay, but it seems my 15 minute powernap (with alarm set) became a 12 hour snoozefest. I'm available tonight and monday 20:00-23:00 gmt+1 on steam.
If you can't make it, I think I'll have to forfeit a game. I'm also fine with any league sanctions/disciplinary action. Really sucks to have made you wait twice mate. I did the powernap with alarm precisely because I didn't want to fall asleep behind my computer, but that certainly backfired.

I'll try to make time but I have a match scheduled today, and another reschedule match to fit in around my son/care duties so I can't guarantee I can find free time but I'll try, would rather avoid sanctions etc, if possible. Once the season is over I doubt I'll be playing organised league play anyhow, had to resched five games from nine in two leagues, plus another admin result here, and with real life, baby, disabled missus etc, is sometimes a struggle not letting people down,so I'd rather avoid buggering peoples records with admin results that won't matter overall.

I'm really sorry squiggy. My conduct is not at all what I experienced on average from other people in iron phoenix and from the 50 or so league matches I've played so far, it's only happened twice that I didn't make it in time; as bad luck would have it, that was twice with you.
I don't care as much about any admin results precisely because I feel bad towards you personally and detracting from your experience, when everything from iron phoenix league and the previous good experiences I've had would prove otherwise.
Of course you are free to make your own choices and I can understand if your faith in the reliability has taken a blow.

Don't worry about it :-) I bear no Ill will, these things happen. It's just extremely difficult for me to find free time without planning ahead. Basically my missus suffered a stroke when she was nine years old and has needed not exactly full time care, but part time care and full time observation, ever since. If I am gonna be unavailable to drop everything instantly I have to have a contingency plan. Getting time isn't an issue, but short notice, or changes of plans, can be sometimes, and when you combine that with a baby and approx seventy five hours a week work/carer duties it gets a bit tricky. Especially now when I'm rearranging a game to play a game that was rearranged after another delayed game. :-) These things happen, and I really don't want anyone's play/team to suffer as a result. It seems the best thing is for me just to play casually, not formal league play, as then I'm not stressing over being late, or wasted time, or other people's wasted time. Besides, my play and results have been awful :-) pretty obvious I need more playtime, practice and experience to play in a league like IP even when things do go according to plan! Aaaaaanyway, inane mutterings over. Don't sweat it basically dunam, I bear no Ill feelings about it :-) just hope it can be resolved to stop it affecting your team, mine is pretty much a dead loss anyhow :-p

A luckfest 4-0. My elves didn't seem to fail at anything I asked them to do and for the first match so far I didn't sustain any permanent injury or deaths.
