Here I am not disagreeing with you, but the server states otherwise.

You stated in channel 64 that you had a draw with Crafty. I messaged you and
stated that the game was not drawn, and still ongoing. There is the assumption
that you would have seen the clocks still running unless there was an interface
bug here.

Whether is was an engine problem or an interface problem doesn't matter. The
server result _is_ what matters.

>4.- Arena (debug window) and Fafis put in their log draw by mutual agrement.

Then I am sure this happened due to an interface bug.

>5.- 10 min later , TD says that Fafis lost on time.

Yes I informed you of the server result.

You won't be black listed for anything. You stated your reasons, made your
apologies to the rest of the participants and I, and left.

As I stated in my message to you, this was not a personal attack on you, or your
program. I made the decision based on what I saw, what I said, and the server
result.

Ultimately that is what I have to do. I am the TD, and I have to make the tough
calls, and certainly this was very difficult.

I asked you politely to stay. I really wanted you to. There are times in sports
where a call will go against you, and you have to grin and bare it.

I am sorry for all that happened, and I honestly hope I get to talk to you again
Rafael.
