Something I recall from when I first began working in the arena. I had left one of Luppy's peer wins off my report when I sent it in. He questioned Goldendust, who was then the Standings Keeper, about his missing duel. Goldendust sent me a copy of his note asking me to check into it for him. I found the duel in question and verified the win for Goldendust, who then added it to the following weeks standings.
For all that it may not be a required part of the Standing Keeper's job, I would think that anyone filling that job would want the posted standings to be accurate so as to reflect better on them. A short note to the callers in question would take little time to send off, and the benefits of such are obvious. Goldendust certainly had no problems with asking callers to find missing duels. I can't see why Drake, or any Standings Keeper for that
matter, would.

Are you quite done? Cause my "ignorance" is keeping me from understanding what you mean, or maybe it keeps me from caring what you think. But anyhow, feel free to post as many times as you'd like, I think you will anyhow, it's not like you to keep quiet. But that's OK, it's not like too many around here to keep quiet, and I find it interesting when you prove your no better than them.

Xeric.

Now that you have taken this to a public forum, I will point out something for you.
You have never once told me the names of the caller(s) of any duels of yours that were not posted on time.
Approximate time, or just the date, is also very helpful because then I can also check the queue reports.

If anyone notices that the posted Results does not show a duel... or shows an error as simple as a misspelling... I would appreciate being informed quickly so the matter can be handled as swiftly as possible.

I'd say that certainly answers my comments. It would be impossible for Drake to have written a note like I mentioned without the names of the officials. And you certainly can't fault her for not doing the impossible.

Khrysta...

Without knowing the name of the caller of the missing duel, it's difficult to send a letter to them.
Still, I understand your point... and that's why I receive reports from the queue keepers as well, so I can double-check things.

So then,

This is a case of someone being unable to count? Or properly read his personal results?

I wonder.

I guess an apology won't be coming, despite the announcement that the person in question *is* able to challenge.

Note the irony. ;)

An apology? Around here? Well, it has happened before on occasion.
Personally, I think we'll be lucky if he even agrees that all his wins are there after all.

To the community.

It appears I made an error on my posting of Warlord Mues' duels. I stated that the Warlord had enough peer wins to challenge, when in fact he did not... for two of his listed wins were against opponents already counted.
I have given my appologies to the Warlord and hope to see his needed tenth win on an official report in my box soon.
