Also semantics aside Stars is essentially your employer unless I'm missing something. Sorry my tone offended you, at first read the situation seemed pretty screwed up (still does), this guy doesn't deserve to lose a year of hard work because of this. I would hope most people feel that way.
From a fellow nyc jew happy new years though. And phase, hope this gets sorted out for you... was a DoN reg back in the day, played a good amount with you, grats on reaching SNE regardless of whether stars decides to cheat you out of it or not.
It was more like...I was driving around randomly thinking about the situation, and it seemed that there wasn't really an immediately logical explanation (the grudge match explanation was not offered until later iirc). It also seemed like most of the responses were biased/possibly naive in phase's favor, so I decided to post.
I have no reason to go out of my way to support Stars in this spot...the reason I lurk in this thread is because I am a fan of the SNE chase, respect SNE players, and I enjoy the sweat etc. There is no part of me that wants to see a grinder get screwed out of SNE out of loyalty to my sponsor.
And I would hate to see phase unfairly DQ'd for something that was normal play, but it's not surprising at all that this pattern of play rendered a (false) positive.
And to you, a less sarcastic, cynical happy new year than the last time I said it ITT!
