Activity post. The_Chaser never responded to me and hasn't been on at all this weekend.
next week can we get make another rule with zero precadent that benefits us instead of.our opponents? thanks haha
I'm offering Tokyo Tom the activity win for The_Chaser vs idiotfrommars
TC was highly inactive which is a shame because his teammates were counting on him to play. I edited the OP accordingly.

can confirm my opponent is highly skilled gg
I obviously accept the activity win for IFM, but I just really don't understand why Lyconik is allowed to miss his scheduled time with 49 (no matter what the reason), Reverb is fully aware of Lyconik missing this time, since he is online for at least a few hours after 49 mentions the missed time, and never subs in anyone else until after the deadline is over. This post contains no veiled hostility or anything, so it should not be deleted for whatever reason, I am simply curious as to why my player does not deserve an activity win, especially when the OP says "no extensions". I can't speak for the other captains but I believe they are in similar positions regarding their activity issues. From what I know, the OP initially showed 49 getting the activity win (his name was bolded and the score was adjusted accordingly, and this was after both 49 and Reverb had posted about it) and then Reverb edited the win out of the OP.
Moreover, if we change the "no extensions" rule for this week alone simply because it is midseasons, what kind of precedent are we setting for future weeks? This would cause various inconsistencies. For example, if this were week 5 instead of week 3, and I were in Reverb's position now, would my player lose to activity and not be granted a deadline (as in, are there some weeks where the same instance would cause different outcomes)? We should either have a rule and stick with it, or not have the rule at all.
At the end of the day, sure, this is an unofficial team tournament. However, I feel that it is my job as manager to stand up for my team. Competitive Pokemon is about winning after all, and considering that my team hasn't won a single week yet, I'd be definitely glad to grab this win haha, not soley because I want to win but also because according to the rules I believe my team deserves the win.

e: I just wanted to reply to this, if the activity is in a player's favour why not give activity to said player?

There were multiple extensions given in past weeks, so there is clearly precedent. Moreover, I'm not the one making the decisions, although I realize I can't be completely objective, even if i try to be. So whatever the TDs decide after talking it over, we will do that.
