Well I almost forgot to submit a score until Monday, and when I saw that no one submitted, I just submitted a random score. Now it's Mystic and I, but I think that I probably should've won for submitting, but I'm willing to go for another round.

im not arguing - well guess i should have made that clear - if its too late thats fine i was just saying i was on time by my account. This could mean that my timing and the tournament timing may not be the same and if so then i will accept my elimination or see if i get voted off if i stay.
if im out then good tourney maybe next time things will go through smoother

Mystic won that Immunity Idol, so that is why he is still in.

Yeah, I meant argue in more of the way of slightly protesting against the round ending when it did by posting that score, despite Jugglin saying it was over, haha. Sorry if I was implying a stronger sense of arguing. Also, with your timing, you use the tournament's timing and adjust accordingly. Jugglin lives in the Eastern time zone, so he has stated previously that the rounds end at 7pm in that zone. (Which is 6pm Central.) I'm sure you already know that, but yeah.

What he said.

Hammy's an pretty smart dude

EDIT: In my highschool enrollment booklet thingy, it said "blahblahblah and if taken, you are an considered for blahblahblah" I would take a picture of it, but it blurs it in my laptop's camera.

Yeah, I just couldn't get a good score on that song so I didn't bother submitting a score...since I knew I had the immunity idol anyway.

It has been set as 6pm central since the beginning and everyone had four days to submit. This is what happens when you put it off. If you were truly unable to submit until a couple hours after the round ended, and if you were truly completely busy for four full days, then I'm sorry that you were held up in time like that. By that scenario, though, perhaps a tourney wasn't the best decision at this point in time for you.
In shorter terms: *snaps yer fingarz* Uh uh, b*tch, this round IS OVA!


Sucks for people who lost internet use the whole weekend. And didn't get a chance to post a score since school said "No gaems or u in trubble". I just don't see why it has to be preset as 6 PM Central, like the timing here is that crucial. To me, Tuesday is Tuesday until 11:59 PM.

EDIT: Oh yeah, sorry, I'm very skeptical about the listed rules. From what I see, it's only saying blahblahblah SS by Tuesday.

7pm Eastern (6pm Central) has been stated as the default ending time for the rounds by Jugglin in this thread. In respect to the tourney hosts, we should hold the responsibility in remembering at least that much.

Well, things like that happen, but exceptions can't be made for people like this. You posted when the round started, and you even have a few games played on that day. You could have posted a score then at least as a placeholder. Okay, I'm sure you weren't expecting no internet use for the weekend, but you had a chance in the beginning. The tournament hosts can't be held responsible for the time you lost in this situation. If my modem blew up and I was unable to get online to send in a score in time, I shouldn't expect any special treatment. It sucks, but well...**** happens. =/ We have been given a lot of time for each round, and you gotta use what you can. Besides, Flipsta, didn't you post asking to be taken out of the tournament?

And once again, the time for when the rounds end has been stated before. Guys, in respect to Jugglin and Jteh and the hard work they put into this tournament, just accept it and move on. Arguing against what Jugglin says is not respectful, seeing how he has been doing a lot by maintaining this tournament for us.

Reason being why I said that is because of parental asshatery. I only had about a good 2 hours of the internet for those 3 days (because of me being sneaky), and me playing FFR would have gotten me in deeper trouble.

**** died down now, but that screenshot was from school. 4:09 PM. That is exactly one minute before I got out and my teacher asked for the mouse back (yes, we detach mice at school). I only got to upload, but didn't have the time to copy and paste the URL pic. Getting home at 6:30 PM EST, I bet I was too late if it is due 7:00 PM EST.

I'm not pressed, and I am not disrespecting anyone. It's just from what I see now is what I am going to abide to. What's done is done, what had happened happened. I just like to make a point, is all.

But still, good luck through out the rest of the tournie. Hammy, you already know you'd win or at least with a higher chance.

Yeah, I understand a lot of the **** that you have to put up with, man. I just hope you're able to take care of it all soon so it's less on your shoulders. ):

Honestly, I didn't think like that. I saw a few people that could beat me in this, but the thing is, they all got eliminated for inactivity or were voted out. I know I have a better chance at winning these tournaments, but I really didn't see it being a huge chance until last round. You can believe me or not believe me, but I really don't think highly of myself when playing in tournaments. I always think of ways that someone could beat me, and then hope for the best outcomes and try to survive. It's actually pretty ridiculous how much I underestimate myself.

It's funny how I do the same, and it always end up at last rounds when I get screwed. xP And it's not only the parents, but the thoughts of a tournie.

"OH gawd oh gawd, tournie oh gawd, I don't know if I can do this (thoughts: YES YOU CAN!) Gah! damnit! I got a Good *boos out to quit*


That is rare nowadays, but when it is an FMO+, ohoho... I can kiss those chances of winning goodbye. I guess it's just the things that get in your way and the time limit that makes a tourney harder. So you still have a valid point.

Oh, and thanks for understanding Hammy. =)

Well good job. I didn't bother with that since no one else submitted a score, and everyone else was posting their own scores, and I knew I was in. Hopefully this next song will be fair between us. I want an intense final round for us.

Ha yes. I would love a super intense final round. I have a feeling you will be the victor though. Good luck though, may the better FFR'er take the top prize.


Question to Jteh and Jugglin, if I lose, will I get something for 2nd place?
