Okay, so we defaulted again. That's great and all, but I need to be serious with you all for a second. The other team captain was not happy that you guys were being really rude and impatient to them around the time we formally agreed to default the match. Yes, ETF2L does rule that if the team's not ready 15 minutes into the match, they forfeit. (I just found this out now. By the way, don't take screenshots until it's officially fifteen minutes into the match, or else you'll need to bend over backwards for an hour straight to prove to the admin that you defaulted.) No, you are not allowed to be annoying about it. Being impatient just makes us as good of a group of people as D4$, and that's not what we're striving for. If we're gonna win this, we need to be kind--even when you're five million percent done and don't give any ♥♥♥♥♥.

That's about it. Sorry if I'm irritable right now, by the way. Again, just spent an hour trying to prove our default to the admin (amongst other stuff).

YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T CHECKED FACEBOOK (OR ARE NOT IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP--SHOMLAM, I'M LOOKING AT YOU), I HAVE GIFTS FOR ALL Y'ALL. THEY'RE IN YOUR NOTIFICATIONS NOW; JUST ACCEPT THE TRADE OFFER, AND BAM FREE STUFF JUST FOR YOU BECAUSE I LOVE ALL OF YOU. <3 <3 <3

SO THE OTHER TEAM DIDN'T SHOW UP TODAY, SO WE GOT ANOTHER DEFAULT (AS SOON AS I CAN GET A HOLD OF AN ADMIN, THAT IS). I'M SO SORRY WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY PLAY.

HOWEVER, TODAY'S DEFAULT BASICALLY GUARANTEES US A SPOT IN THE PLAYOFFS, SO GIVE YOURSELVES A PAT ON THE BACK FOR HELPING US BE THE MOST ORGANIZED TEAM IN OUR BRACKET. (I think there's some satisfaction in being prepared.) I really owe you all one for your cooperation and patience. :)

But now that we're basically guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS?

IT'S WHEN IS GOOD TIME[whenisgood.net]. Just go and fill that out. Mind the dates listed, though--the playoffs begin on August 10th. Please practice when you can. We're gonna be playing against teams who didn't default all of their matches (or maybe they did, I dunno). Our next/first real match is gonna be a tough one. Prepare your anuses.

Lastly, the Smokin' Aces (the team we were supposed to play today) is interested in a practice scrim. I told them later next week. Rather than make a When is Good, could we just negotiate a time here? I don't wanna keep track of more of those damn things; I hate them just as much as you guys do (maybe more, actually).

PS - Send me your Facebook email so I can send you an invite to the Facebook group. It's easier to communicate through Facebook, IMO.

Okay, guys, so here's the deal: there's a team Facebook now. No, you don't have to join, and yes, if you don't want to be in it for personal reasons but I already added you to the page, you're more than welcome to leave. However, it'd be easier for me to reach out to all of you this way since, from personal experience, I know that Facebook is a much more effective means of organization than Steam is.

However, the group is secret, so the only way for me to add you to it is to 1. invite you through Facebook (which anyone in the group can also do, by the way) or 2. for me to invite you by email. Since I'd prefer not to add anyone I don't/will not know in person (just personal reasons, really), I will not add you for the sake of inviting you to the group, so if someone inside the group can't invite you through Facebook, message me with your email, and I'll send you an invite.

Other than that, that's it. Match at 6pm EST tomorrow night. Please be early. Thanks!

I'd just like to point out that the third match is on TUESDAY AT 6PM EST. On ETF2L, it says midnight on Wendesday. Please don't be alarmed; it's in CEST and not EST, so the time there is purposefully listed as 3 hours ahead.

Also, who's ringing for scoot this match?
