Chaps,
Was any effort made to get Doorman into last night's match when Slowhand failed to show?
I recall a server message asking if anyone had seen Slowhand and I'm pretty sure that Doorman was on the server at the time.
If I was Doorman I'd be pretty hacked off that a Zombie took Slowhand's place having just been told that he (Doorman) didn't make the team.
I realise it was a friendly but as I said on Baldric three out of the last four Ghost matches have been friendlies so cross-squad selection was not an option.
I was asked to look for slowhand and it was me that did the server say. Just after I asked I went back to baldric (HLSW) and found that slowhand had joined (about 21.05). Slowhand was there and then dropped and a little while later he reconnected. Albert asked me to stay by in HLSW in case of a subsititute was needed. Slowhand and FatBob then dropped and only FatBob returned. It was 21.20 by then and 3MC were very anxious to getting started as one of their peeps could only play until 22.00. Albert asked me to join and the match was started immediately when I joined without any knife round. Slowhand never rejoined btw.
Fatbob dropped on and off the entire match so I guess Slowhand wasn't the only one affected.
I am sorry that I got to play instead of a Ghost. Although I was asked to join by the SL. I will gladly offer my spot in tonights match to any ghost if that will make you feel better OldBloke.

It's not my feelings that are at issue. My only concern was that Doorman could complain that the selection policy had been abused and on the face of it he would have had just rights.
However, now that the situation has been explained I can see why Albert chose to play you rather than spend more time checking if Doorman was on the MH.
I'll PM Doorman with an explanation and assure him that he will play in the next Ghost match he's available for.
Sorry Oldbloke but it wasn't Sadako's fault. I did a scan on MH for people using HLSW on my laptop and the map must have been changing so no names showed up. We were behind the time by 30 mins already and being my first SL match I was juggling a bit so took the easy option. I will have to familliarise myself with the squads a bit more to know who is in which :( .
Doorman did say to me that he was only available as a last resort, ok it was a last resort but I couldn't see him. There were other Zombies as well as you and Doorman just after the match started but I had other things to worry about by then.
I will make more effort to get the right replacements next time.
But for the record, it was my decision not Sadakos.
:wink:
I wish this conversation had been kept just within this area FFS :x
I just don't like being accused of something that wasn't my decision. In two separate threads for that matter.
But this thread is private ...

I posted this early this morning.
BTW. I wasn't accusing anyone. I asked "Was any effort made to get Doorman into last night's match when Slowhand failed to show?". That question was answered.
I admit that my flippant remark "Now how did that Sadako bloke sneak another game in?" could be (and was) taken the wrong way.
