ITT huge walls of text. TL;DR Someone threw a hissy fit cause his team didn't get to defend first and they're too bad for mid tier

[...] ETF2L isn't a democracy

[...] I disagree with this argumentation. You should not unpause if your opponent is not ready (if he does not take the piss) and maybe that should be integrated in the rules somehow

[...] Team A pausing means that Team A is spending their pause resource to gain 5 minutes of extra time. With these 5 minutes they can do whatever they want. They can end it prematurely whenever they want as long as they give a warning in chat. If Team B is not ready by the time that Team A unpauses then that's a problem on their side. If they need more time to get ready then they will have to use their own pause resource, not the one of their opponents.

2. With playing over Internet many issues are possible, it’s not always teams fault that match is late and on other esports matches are delayed by even more than 15 minutes. [...] But also if before the game some game related issue, servers lagging etc. or team dispute should be able to delay game by couple of minutes.

5.1 Be reasonable regarding servers Both teams can agree on the server which both maps are played on, or agree to play one map on each clan’s server. If you can’t agree to play either way then the game must be played on an ETF2L league server (please contact an admin to arrange this). Make sure the server is adequate before you start – complaints cannot be made after the match.

3. I mean what should both teams do if someone who wasn’t supposed to be on server join to the server – that actually happened to me, some random guy just connected to server. What teams should do what if that person is somehow connected to enemy team. How teams should behave if person is just random.

4. Pauses during disagreements with rival team? Why it shoudn’t be done? I cam to conclusion yesterday that really admins can deny replying the game even if I had a point yesterday if I made an complain after the game. Kkaltuu do you remember match on gullywash with Kill Switch, server went down, don’t remember who they played agains, and there was dispute during the game either to give up round to team or not and it was done during the match. That was piece of good admin work in my oponion and every dispute should be resolved similar way. Also do you really think it’s worse option to open a dispute during pause on the beginning of the game, and restarting the round when nothing really happend, that restarting the game after one round or whole game? You just make it easy to execute for you and not fair for players.

5. “To compensate, teams in the top 50% are given some invisible points from which the fixtures are generated from for the first 2 weeks.” Like why we had to play two teams from top 50% when we were an open team in mid obviously, team doing bad in week should play similar team in week 2. Would really be more fair. I asked about it before and it really doesn’t make sense.

6. What makes you think we don’t have policies and guidelines? Because every time I come to IRC to discuss something admins need to talk to other admins even in simple cases.

7. Another idea come to my mind, you know how sometimes after readying up someone of your team loses connection you feel the pain? What about making an exception and teams could ask for one restart during the game, like a deafult won no more than 20 seconds in the game or in setup time.

8. My bad with binds but with unpausing, it just said that enemy team should warn about unpause, but it’s really not said how that warn should look, in my opinion this should have more official aproach. Because now teams can just say “unpause in 5″ and unpause when the other team isn’t even ready, if the 5 minutes go by it should be stated 5 minutes gone, and give like 15 seconds to unpause rather than doing it in blink of an eye.
