You said these
What exactly I said was this
In other words, I stated multiple times that I agree that M2K should have been DQed (for that set) as soon as he extended his DC and I even said this
I'm sure you can see how I thought you missed the point. I made no mention/implication of circumstantial DQing anywhere except for my first few posts on the topic (which were just misleading due to me using bad wording and using the term 'DQ' when I meant 'stop the game'), which I then cleared up in a later post, which is the post you responded to about circumstantial DQing.
The other part was that you said this
That's what I thought you meant by "[it] cheapens the victory", so I responded with
-They probably knew they were going to win anyway, because they outplayed them for the entire match and were up a landslide
-They were just enjoying the opportunity to play M2K
-They were focusing too hard on not ****ing up this 2v1 situation that should be a guaranteed win
That was my point.
You, for whatever reason, responded to that point with this
If I didn't know any better, reading this post would make me think that a player that came to Apex from somewhere other than the USA broke a rule.
Japan didn't break any rules.
I'm literally speechless, I have absolutely no ****ing clue what you meant by that.
Now for the rest
That's a terrible analogy. M2K extending his DC only brought a bad consequence upon himself (and Anti, I guess). Not anyone else.
I don't see how jokingly extending your DC for ****s and giggles when you know you're already going to lose can be compared to ****ting on somebody's carpet.
And my last question for you SL84; do you actually think that M2K was legitimately trying to use his EDC to make the comeback?
No wait I lied I have another question. This whole time I've been arguing that M2K should have been forced to forfeit but allowed to continue the game just for ****s and giggles, but you seem to be arguing that he should have been forced to quit the match as soon as the DC was extended, and you said it had to do with setting standards. I responded to that, why haven't you responded to my response? Do you still think he should have been forced to stop the game immediately? Do you think he should have been DQ'ed from the entire tournament and stripped of his 2nd place prize?
@Bubbaking
Also using IDC in one game in GFs shouldn't DQ you from the entire tourney, unless you've already done it earlier on in the same tournament, or if you have a history of doing it in other tournaments and have been warned multiple times. It should just cause you to forfeit that game/set.
I mean,if M2K won all his sets legitimately up until GFs (which should be assumed as nobody reported otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty and whatnot), then he has earned (so far) 2nd place winnings. I suppose if he did something during GFs like sexually harassing Alex Strife or peeing on Jaxelrod's stream stuff, then you could strip him of his winnings and kick him out of the venue. But the IDC he did? At worst that should have caused him to forfeit GFs XD
Also somebody said something like it looked like M2K had pretty much given up already. I completely agree. I still stand
You said these
They can play AFTER the tournament, but until the tournament is done, M2K is DQ'ed and not allowed to play on any of the stations.
Then I pointed out that they were in GFs, the last set of the tournament. ie no other stations were in use (except for maybe friendlies/MMs), so it would have more sense to just give the victory to Japan and let them play it out for ****s and giggles rather than to force M2K to jump off the map, give out the rewards and then have them play friendlies on the exact same setup after that 10ish minute period. I didn't explain all of this, I thought it was self-explanatory.Let them play their game after the tournament as officially ended and the rewards have been given out.
What exactly I said was this
And then you responded with thisThat was literally the last match of the tournament. Which is why I would have let them play it out anyway.
Even though I made no mention of circumstantial DQing and I had already stated multiple times (in pretty much every post) that my point was that Japan should have been given the victory as soon as the DC was extended, but that I wouldn't have cut the match short because of it; I would have let them play out the match for fun.Last match or first match it does not matter.
Circumstancial DQing is a bad thing.
In other words, I stated multiple times that I agree that M2K should have been DQed (for that set) as soon as he extended his DC and I even said this
Yet to responded to it with 'circumstantial DQing is a bad thing'?So to clarify, if I was the TO during that match, I probably would have announced over the PA system that M2K broke the rules and that Japan had won already. I just wouldn't have forced the match to end shortly.
I'm sure you can see how I thought you missed the point. I made no mention/implication of circumstantial DQing anywhere except for my first few posts on the topic (which were just misleading due to me using bad wording and using the term 'DQ' when I meant 'stop the game'), which I then cleared up in a later post, which is the post you responded to about circumstantial DQing.
The other part was that you said this
Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but I assume you mean that if they played it out after knowing that M2K's team cannot be awarded the victor due to the EDC, the Japanese players would feel that, after that point, the victory would not feel 'earned' since they knew they would be awarded with the win before the game was actually over. Correct?This whole half baked nonsense of "oh he loses anyway but let him play anwyay" cheapens the victory Japan would "think" it had won.
Why this seems to elude you is beyond me.
That's what I thought you meant by "[it] cheapens the victory", so I responded with
My point being that since EDC is legal in Japan, they probably consider it a legitimate and reasonable tactic to use, so after seeing M2K use it (especially when he's at 100% on his last stock in a 1v2 against two MKs that were each at low %s, and he only used it to go through the Halberd laser, which isn't even safe) they probably really didn't give a **** whether that caused him to lose or not because of any combination of the followingI don't think it really does. Maybe to the viewers, but probably not to Kakera and Otori themselves. Over in Japan EDC is legal.
-They probably knew they were going to win anyway, because they outplayed them for the entire match and were up a landslide
-They were just enjoying the opportunity to play M2K
-They were focusing too hard on not ****ing up this 2v1 situation that should be a guaranteed win
That was my point.
You, for whatever reason, responded to that point with this
Like....seriously...what?Welcome to the USA.
You abide by the rules, or you get canned.
Why this seems to escape you is beyond me.
If I didn't know any better, reading this post would make me think that a player that came to Apex from somewhere other than the USA broke a rule.
Japan didn't break any rules.
I'm literally speechless, I have absolutely no ****ing clue what you meant by that.
Now for the rest
Yes, I know. For the >9000th time, I agree that Japan should have been awarded the victory as soon as the DC was extended. I don't know why you're telling me this.You were suggesting that it wouldn't bother the Japanese because in their ruleset, the IDC is not banned.
My point is that, this is the USA.
Those differences in rulesets become completely irrelevant, and simply because a few people may not mind due to a difference in ruleset, does not change the fact that at this tournament, IDC was banned, and that the DQ should be enforced.
watTO's are there to handle the tournament.
Not make people feel good about themselves after they broke a rule.
Sure you are taking a dump on the carpet, but go ahead and finish wiping your arse.
Uh. No.
That's a terrible analogy. M2K extending his DC only brought a bad consequence upon himself (and Anti, I guess). Not anyone else.
I don't see how jokingly extending your DC for ****s and giggles when you know you're already going to lose can be compared to ****ting on somebody's carpet.
'Accidental' was a poor wording choice I guess. I didn't 'accidentally' type DQ, I erroneously did it. Happy?[/COLLAPSE]How is it accidental if that is what you typed...?
And my last question for you SL84; do you actually think that M2K was legitimately trying to use his EDC to make the comeback?

@Bubbaking
Why do people get offended by such silly things so easily.Something you said about extending DC = disrespectful to TO and stuff
