LOL, TTT thread is locked...
Maybe if Conraa hadn't fixed the Final, then it'd be alright.

I locked it for a reason....

If a fight breaks out about it here, there will be hell to pay for all involved. Everything seemed OK to me, but I'm no expert in the matter so I don't want to make the wrong call. I shouldn't have to explain myself twice.

Looking at it from my strictly impartial point of view (I wasn't in the tournament), the Signups page didn't mention anything about having to refilm it like that should the Loser's Bracket team win. So I honestly have no idea what he should have done. I think if he films a third Finals match, so it's like a best of three style, that should give us a clear 2-1 winner, as opposed to an obscure tie with all this strife.

On the subject of the Champions League, I really can't be doing with football. Though I will be watching the Monaco GP tomorrow. Shame Perez won't be involved, he was really looking on good form, but I hope he's well enough for the next race.

Yes, I just suggested that to him.

Shut up. You just want to keep your ill-gotten victory, you cheat.

Don't get angry about it, GF. Conraaa should have put clarification in Signups as to what happens here. As he didn't, I think we're still in the grey about this.

I didn't want a losers bracket at all. It wasn't in the signups rules. So TECHICALLY you shouldn't even fight us.
I will have no more part in this.

No more discussion of this until we get an expert opinion in the matter...

Everybody calm down and have a drink :D
All drinks are on me. It's my bloody pub, after all

So...
Did anyone see the Bears game?

It was my great-uncle's birthday party today. We went to some fancy place in Warwickshire, and arived before he did. Therefore, I stood putside, waiting for them, and a man came up to me and said, "Do you attend to the parking?". Because I was standing by the door in a proper buttoned shirt.

This is what happens when I decide to enter a contest entitled "Sexy Jutsu" XD

*snickers*

You might want to delete that else ACAMS is going to have your neck.
And geez, I wake up and find that the whole TX thing escalated far further than it should have. But no matter, on with stuff.

NFX · « **Reply #10413 on:** May 29, 2011, 05:27:36 AM »

It was getting out of hand. Big thanks to kill for sorting everything out. I would +1 him if I still had rep privileges.

In the meantime, I'm gearing myself up for the Monaco F1 this afternoon. I'm going to put my money on Button for the win this time.

I missed the entire TX thing. How fortunate.

No No, Webber!

I got to say "bye" to him and explain why I called him Xy, but I missed the entire flamewar - else I'd've tried to stop it ._.

The threads still there. It was Sparky, Garvin, GF, Fotepx and TX.

I know, but I ain't gonna read it.

In other news, I've been up for 2 days, 7 hours, 7 minutes and 47 seconds

I tried to bring it to a halt, but nobody really paid attention.

That's quite an impressive run. Better than my personal best. =]
