bloodninja: hey, sorry for not messaging you earlier
bloodninja: i'm trying to figure out what happened with the whole treebeard thing and i'd like to get your take on things
ride the icening: The weekend that we played Yes we almost had to FF because I couldn't get 5 people on due to Cyni not wanting to play and not telling me
ride the icening: SprayRate never responds to messages and hasn't played a single game with the team
bloodninja: ya i think spray actually quit
ride the icening: and Allen stopped showing up to practice/scrims after week 2 and stopped replying when I asked him to come play
ride the icening: Boyle showed up less than 2 minutes before we had to FF
ride the icening: I messaged cyni later that week, he said he was done. I asked mumbler if I could just add tree as a replacement since I had lost 2 4k players and almost had to FF the prior week and didn't know if I could get 5 the next week
ride the icening: and Tree's a bum and is always around anyway
ride the icening: Mumbler said ok and that's pretty much it
bloodninja: did you try to message allenar either of the last 2 weeks?
ride the icening: I did the week that we almost FF after he didn't respond and the pattern of not responding i wrote him off like i wrote off spray rate
bloodninja: both cyni and allenar have stories that are extremely inconsistent from what you told me though
bloodninja: why would they say things like this?
bloodninja: Allenar: i swear i've been on at least the first hour of tournament play every week
Allenar: at least on steam
Allenar: never been asked to play
...
i've always been on on sundays. ALWAYS. i figure if they need me they will invite me
...
Allenar: i wont beg for an invite though
bloodninja: Cyni: I even said, I'll play if you need me, but I know both Boyle and allenar want a chance.
...
Cyni: I didn't quite.   I told them I lost interest and would sit.  Tell me if you need me though
Cyni: Quit*
ride the icening: apparently there's some miscommunication between myself and allen, but it's w/e
ride the icening: cyni and I have already talked and we're fine. I misinterpreted his statement as an I'm done
bloodninja: what kind of miscommunication could result in such a drastic difference in his perception of what happened vs yours?
ride the icening: Us not communicating with eachother at all?
ride the icening: Idk what your goal is here, I thought my team was short players because people never talk to me, I added Treebeard the wonder bum, you flipped shit and played detective, I wasn't trying to do anything but make sure that my team had 5 to go the next week because we almost lost 2 due to not having 5
bloodninja: i just want things to be fair
bloodninja: and it doesn't seem like they are
bloodninja: is english your first language?
bloodninja: i view cyni's statements as extremely hard to misinterpret
bloodninja: but maybe he said something different to you the first time around?
bloodninja: and i still don't see how the miscommunication with allenar - either he was asked to play or not, and he says no but you say yes?
bloodninja: how the miscommunication happened*
