Semifinals Decisions:
re: ADV OU
Exiline vs
Lord Ninjax
The only scheduling I see here is Lord Ninjax trying to schedule with no response from Exiline. Going to call this an activity win for Lord Ninjax, if there's evidence to the contrary, let me know.
re: DPP Ubers
Zwein vs
TSR
Messy case inbound.
Zwein initially
contacted TSR early in the round. Over a course of about a week, they set a scheduled time for Saturday Oct 26th at 1pm GMT-5. Both showed up at around the correct time, but TSR had scheduled his UU Majors set for that timeframe. When Zwein contacted TSR, he was in the middle of his Majors set.
The following screenshots are from PS! PMs, which are always a tricky subject for hosts to deal with. I'm assuming Zwein, the sender of these screenshots, is GMT-5 as stated in the VM correspondence, and I'm assuming these logs aren't doctored. TSR, let me know if they're false.
From what I can see, Zwein waited for roughly (as PS screenshots are based on individual system time) an hour past the scheduled time before logging off, and it doesn't seem that TSR was ready to play in any part of that hour. As such, this is counted as TSR missing the scheduled time and there is no basis to grant an extension based on attempts by both to schedule, but limited availability.
However, Zwein hasn't officially called activity in this thread, so the choice is theirs. Zwein, if you want an extension, we can do that. If you want to claim your activity win, that's fine as well. I leave it up to you. Please respond within 24 hours or I'll proceed with the activity win.
re: DPP UU
Lord Ninjax vs
Donphantastic
Lord Ninjax missed the first scheduled time they set, and then Donphantastic "missed" the second scheduled time they set (he claims he was on but, as I'm sure you all know by now, I can't accept that as evidence he was online at the scheduled time). The second scheduled time was October 20th, Lord Ninjax has yet to respond to Donphantastic's proposal to reschedule.
Since both missed a time, that part cancels out. When considering the effort put into scheduling, the advantage goes to Donphantastic because a) he used timeframes and timezone when scheduling and b) Lord Ninjax has been nonresponsive to Donphantastic's attempt to reschedule for 8 days. Donphantastic also dropped a message early yesterday, which hasn't been responded to. Donphantastic has a solid case to activity.
Similarly to the last case, though, Donphantastic needs to actually call activity for me to grant it (Exiline vs Lord Ninjax is different because Exiline didn't even do the basic requirements of scheduling). Or this series could get an extension. Please respond within 24 hours or I'll proceed with the activity win.
[update]: Donphantastic has claimed activity. Activity win awarded to Donphantastic.
