There is absolutely no guarantee that RC! will be up by the end of next week. Unless Sean's host unblocks his database it could be weeks before it's back up, he has to migrate the entire site on to a different server and that is a very time consuming process that just will not be done quickly.

Do you have a better alternative? In my opinion, it's wrong for us not to at least attempt to let the problem work out, since a lot of people are really disadvantaged otherwise.

They could do direct connects but that requires a small amount of technical know how to accomplish. Playing over the phone as was already suggested or through an IM client such as skype, aim, or Gtalk.

AFAIK, my opponent (The M) is not allowed to use Hamachi on his computer (his parents won't allow him). He only was able to join ROOT because of RC. So what does that mean for us?
Play by phone? If both players agree you can use alternate methods of play.

That probably won't happen, but if the week is extended, there is a good chance we could play (since we'll probably both be at the same tournament next week).

A lot of that takes time to set up, and it's easier if people have an extra week to figure it out, considering there's only 36 hours left for people to get games in.

wasn't trying to say don't extend it was just saying don't get your hopes up of RC! being back up any time soon.

Oh no, I'm not; don't get me wrong, I haven't spoken with him at all since it went down, and I don't believe Underwood has either so we're having to make the decision based on what you've said, unless he gets on and has an update for us.

You could play him in person at the next game night or tournament?

I should be able to make it and play in person.

I lost to Megaman 5-1

megamanlan · « **Reply #160 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:02:42 PM »

Confirmed

_JM_ · « **Reply #161 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:48:05 PM »

I beat Drrek, 5-3.

Chris · « **Reply #162 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:13:13 AM »

This round of ROOT will be extended until Sunday, May 13th to help those who cannot play without RC attempt to come up with alternatives. If everyone reports scores, the next round may start earlier. We will be having one last round after this one, the month is just being extended by a week. Thank you for understanding as we attempt to compensate for the technical difficulties.

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #163 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:58:12 AM »

I survived a close call with Chris 5-2, with him playing a deck that I haven't seen in a surprisingly looong time. It was fun

Oh yeah, he also used a plot.

At this point, these are the 4 games left to play:
galadgawyn v. Alex_Olijar
Professoralstad v. The M
~~katedid v. robm~~
matman10101 v. dermo4christ

I am so sorry about this. I go super busy with finals and the end of school in general. Yeah you should get ghost points

kate's giving me the ghost points

Josh · « **Reply #165 on:** May 09, 2012, 01:36:45 AM »

I lost 5-4.

Didn't you already report your game for this round? against Red?

He's actually reporting the result of his game with me (which I confirm). We went ahead and played our game for the last week since RC is working again (meaning all remaining games should be able to play soon), and our game was already a for sure matchup, and the extended time into next week could've become an issue for my family.

It was a REALLY tough game, earning it's status as a championship match. We both made 1 critical mistake (which kinda cancelled each other out), but other than that, play was really solid on both sides. And I look forward to playing again sometime.

Why didn't people just use Hamachi?

I still have a chance... *Whistles* I think.

Hey, I've tried contacting Alex twice, once last week and earlier this week after RC was working again. I have not heard anything from him so I don't know if we'll get our game in. Will that end up as ghosting?

Yeah, probably. It's a bit frustrating that we gave an extra week to get the last 4 games in, and it looks like none of them will happen anyway. Next time, we'll be less likely to give extra time.

galadgawyn · « **Reply #172 on:** May 11, 2012, 06:31:23 PM »

I understand your position and agree with the frustrating part. I was looking forward to our game and this delay made it possible for me to play; wish I knew what was going on with him.

dermo4christ · « **Reply #173 on:** May 11, 2012, 06:49:04 PM »

Same with my opponent. Sent message after message but only one response but it was as I was ready to leave and couldn't play. Since then....nothing.

Professoralstad · « **Reply #174 on:** May 12, 2012, 07:28:41 AM »

FWIW, The M and I are likely to complete our game today at the live tournament we will both be attending. I appreciate the extra week, since our schedules during the week never seemed to line up.
