- Why does LAR deserve acrimonius comments simply because calvin is lagged?
-
- As Hadley said, there were several INL games played on calvin all these
- months but no one complained seriously about the lag. So the first game
- against the GB was played on calvin, like any other game. Is that wrong?
- Does that make the LAR deserving of your comments?
-
- If what I heard was correct, GB would not show up for the game if LAR
- played on calvin for the re-match. So LAR took the time and effort to
- setup a UCLA server and drove here to accommodate the GBs! LAR could
- have taken the forfeit from GBs but elected to give you a fair(er) shot.
-
- If that doesn't deserve an award in the "nice guys" department, I don't
- know what does.
-
- You can flame calvin all you want, but remember there are people playing in
- LAR. I know or have met most of them, and they are nice folks who don't
- deserve anything less than a "thank you" from the GBs.
-
- Do you really think they "deserved most of the acrimonius comments", Tom?
