Would have been about 2 hours ago, but xploz didn't respond to my message asking if that time was OK until about 37 minutes ago. So now he's probably sleeping. I'm not ever going to accept an activity win under any circumstances, but the lack of communication this week has been pretty awful (I know he's busy IRL but still) BlackJovi 1 Link to comment

DoubleJ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Holy Shit, did the season just get interesting? Is Lkrenz gonna pull off one of the dopest comebacks of all time? Can Kanzo carry his squad after being benched nearly the entire season. Will Kanzo even want to carry his comrades who abandoned him on the bench?! Ohhhhhhh snap.

Quote All activity win bets are void I don't see why this would not include team bets. It's really common sense too that whenever an activity decision is involved that the bet get canceled. It doesn't say individual bets. Link to comment

Activity wins are a thing with single matches, you wouldn't call the whole week an activity win for a team because of one no contest match. That's pooped. Link to comment

It seems to fucky to try and call it like this though. Like say kami and kanzo were friends (i know hard to imagine since they're both incredibly unlikeable) and this was the situation. If kami thinks that A) Kanzo will lose to Mihawk, or B) Kanzo could win but doesn't think they have a chance at the tie breaker, then Kami could just tell Kanzo to not show up for his match and make it an activity call that decides it, voiding his bet and saving him 5m. Now I don't think that's the case here by any means at all, I'm sure who ever spends their time reading posts for Kanzo who is obviously illiterate is just on vacation right now so he hasn't been able to schedule his match. But the point is that if something as simple as 1 activity decision could void any team based bets, then that would be an easy to abuse rule, so that would be nonsense. There's also the fact that in team vs team situations that a sub could be made, so there's really no way to say its an activity win since there's really no reason for a match to not get played some way or another. Obviously when betting on a single match you're betting on that person, but if that person's match doesn't happen then it's void for obvious reasons. But if you bet on an entire team and they lose 4-3 to a no contest and you cry about it then that'd be stupid. Link to comment

But if you bet on an entire team and they lose 4-3 to a no contest and you cry about it then that'd be stupid. There is a difference between an activity lose and a no contest Riga. If Kanzo was dodging Mlhawk, the score would be 5-3, not 4-3. People don't go around throwing their duels for their friends' sake because there are some consequences with throwing high stake duels. Tie breakers can go either way, assuming a specific team has no chance in a tie breaker is idiotic af. You are reaching with that example Riga. Team bets involves 8 duels, not 7. Link to comment

What was the call and how did it impact the outcome? Iirc it happened exactly like this. Moetal bet on a team, they lost by 1 after a no decision. Think it was 5-4 since 10 tiers. And the ruling was he had to pay, hazy on the details though. Only got room for so much in m brain gbwead 1 Link to comment
