As a few of my friends already know, I was a part of the Forza 2 tourney here and was looking forward to having a fun time while trying my best to go as far as I could in it. Also as some of you also know by now I'm no longer in it... And excuse the long read that's about to follow >__>
Rewind back to last Wednesday (the 20th).
I did my checking in, waiting in the chatroom and everything. Then it was time for the match to get going. The race started up 6 cars were there on the track, including the one GS admin account which actually leaves the race when it starts. So the race starts and everything is going fine, I'm trading off between 2nd and 3rd at the time, but off of turn 4 on the 1st lap I find 1st place spinning out right in front of me...and yep, you guess it, I hit him >__> About now I'm thinking that it's over and just focus on finishing the thing and being done with it. To my surprise though another person behind be got in the tangle as well, so by the time I recovered and was on the move again I was in 3rd. There was no way I'd be catching up with the car fairly banged up so I just focused on keeping my spot since that would guarantee an advancement into the 2nd elimination round...and oh how wrong I'd be with that! Anyway I finish the race and I kept 3rd spot (out of 5), by a mile...pretty much literally :? and I was so freaking happy at that point. So not thinking of needing to do anything else, got back to the lobby, told the result would be up in a few minutes and the crowds leaves.
So few minutes later I go and check to see the winners of the match I was in....and to my utter dismay, someone else was shown as finishing in 3rd :| So almost instantly I shot off an e-mail questioning this, and got a reply back saying if I had confirmed in voice chat about my finishing spot...something I apparently neglected, but I don't even recall anyone saying about their finishing positions after the race in the manner of which I was supposed to. So I replied back with that. Got another reply asking if I had any proof, through means of pictures, videos, etc. Fortunately enough I had saved the replay of the race...which, at the time, I did only for the hell of it. So then I then sent another e-mail back saying I'd provide the pics tomorrow since it was almost about time for me to sign off for the night and I wouldn't have had time to get it done. So Thursday I took the pics....one for each person on the starting grid in their respective positions, and then 3 showing the top 3 as they each crossed the finish line, with myself being 3rd. Then zipped them up and sent them off thinking I'd have some sort of resolve by Monday....
Thursday goes by, and so does Friday...got nothing back regarding it. Waited the weekend as well, but didn't expect to hear anything anyways. And by 1 yesterday I really began to wonder if anything was going to be done about it so I shot another e-mail off asking if there was any resolve regarding my dispute. The whole day went by and I got absolutely nothing, NOTHING at all back. So after the evening is over with it pretty much became evident....I got screwed over and out....
I understand though that doing this whole tournament can be extremely busy and you might not have time to deal with all the e-mails, but when it comes to something like a dispute over the results, backed with photographic evidence you CANNOT simply ignore it.
I expect nothing to be done now about this, I just felt like venting since it's pretty clear now that I'm out. One thing's for sure though, the next time there's a tournament here I can participate in, I'll be thinking long and hard as to whether or not to even bother about it....
