ok all trolling aside here is the deal:
the point of spl is to have fun and win while doing that, not win while pissing off people we talk to on a daily basis and not having much fun ourselves either. some sort of rematch is a solution that is relatively fair for both sides i.e. while it is obviously not the idea outcome for either team, it doesn't screw either team either. lonelyness wants us to have a replay. however, given the nature of the offense (using an illegal item), it makes much more sense to rematch with the same teams and same moves up to the point that the custap berry was used. additionally, I personally feel like IPL shouldn't be able to replace custap with a "usable" item like life orb or leftovers; rather, he should be forced to use something useless like the poison resist berry. otherwise (a) there is no downside to using an item that is not in the game (b) and more importantly, there is no fair way to determine what item he is allowed to use.
unfortunately, ipl is "refusing" to replay. tbh allowing a sub to play pi face instead is kind of absurd because this is two days before the deadline and pi face doesn't have unlimited teams. to summarize: if ipl wants to play with the same teams and same moves up till the custap berry activated, that is pretty fair and we'd be more than happy to oblige.
I've deleted all the shit slinging in this thread. additionally I'd like to apologize on behalf of myself and all my team members for all -- intended or perceived -- unsportsmanlike behavior. spl is above all an event intended to be enjoyable for everyone involved and when arguments get heated beyond fun banter, it's a signal that we should cool down and re-evaluate the point of playing a game.
