I would be careful to allude to the infallibility of rules as an aribiter on TR's behalf. One only need be reminded that TR failed to show up at all to the originally agreed upon date and time as set out by the negotiated rules by officials of both clans for the of the TT v TR 50 v 50 fight a few rounds ago. It's been a few years since I've studied logic but perhaps it can be explained to me how a clan can argue to avoid disqualification by appealing to something higher then the rules itself then come back a few rounds later and claim the rules are infallible? TR broke the rules of that particular fight and should have been disqualified by your arguement but we abided by a tip-it official's decision which was that it would be in the best interest of both clans involved and of the tournament to reschedule the fight given the situation which was done ( http://forum.tip.it/topic/260183-tict-the-titans-vs-the-rising/ ) I could of course point out the inherent paradox, given the above information, of what you've said but I won't because in fact the point of my argument here is that rules are meant as a guideline and not to attempt to seperate black and white. That is, of course, up to the officials and overseers of any given set of rules to interpret as contingencies and inconsistencies outside of the structure of the rules reach reveal themselves. Needless to say it doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduct that missing a fight altogether is a far bigger breach of rules then a tip it official giving both clans an unbiased neutral fight world. And more to the point if the first breach can and has been forgiven then certainly the second, being exponentially the lesser of the two, cannot be denied favour. Once again, good fight TR and NBK. Despite the loss today both clans deserve recognition for performing extremely well lately. :thumbup: You do enjoy veering off topic. TT+BK Broke the rules, if its ok for TT+BK to break the rules for the agreed fight then every clan in the future shall to. Not veering off topic, simply shining a light on the shaded part of the topic you seem to have selectively blinded yourself to. Namely the hypocracy of TR happily accepting the judgement of a tip it official to change the fight rules of an earlier fight with us when it suited them only to have the likes of yourself a few rounds later arguing that the unbias decision by a tip it official to choose a neutral world violated fight rules yesterday. It appears you believe what you`re saying only so long as there is something to be gained and would gladly argue against it the moment there wasn`t :P What you call veering off topic is nothing more then widening it to expose a little of the hypocracy of it all. It`s called context. Something worth doing when truth is concerned. TT+BK broke the agreed rules. NBK + TR claim the win.
