Not to drag on the drama, but can we get a ruling on how downtimes will be handled in the future? It's not like we'll be able to clarify if it happens again and it would make the difference between checking back diligently vs checking every X hours depending on how big the potential delay gets.

here's my suggestion. everyone who wants to save early can throw a dart at a dartboard while blindfolded, and the character names are all pinned up there. they have to save the character who the dart hits. you can wait 4 hours to vote normally, or pay 300 leftycoins (bought from the SMFFFC micro transaction store) if you want to vote immediately and normally.

I think we can all agree here that the right thing that shouldve been done was to just let it go as is. Treat downtime as an act of god, etc.

I think we can all agree if lefty had done that people would still be complaining, they'd just be instead complaining about the people who lost votes in the downtime

My only real issue with it is there was no guarantee everyone was going to see the updated rule, so someone could easily come in during the final rush and save early without even knowing about it.

I'll at least state one thing about the benefit about this rule.

In case of a blackout, people who didn't save before it have saved one less time (or even more) than those who did. A gamefaqs blackout normally benefits those that that did save by keeping them always one save ahead of those that didn't save.

Say if Red has 2 saves pre-downtime and Stifled has three, and Red's save was up just before the downtime, and the downtime lasts an hour exactly, Stifled gains a massive advantage due to having his 4th save ready for on time, and Red loses out as he hasn't made his 3rd save.

I'm someone that lost a save due to this new rule... and honestly I'm for a concept of it as long as we put down some ground rules ahead of time from here on out.

No one would this. Didnt ever happen before. Not the first time this has happened. This was without precedent and against previous handlings of this.

I think enough people agree that the right call was to just let it be, but I don't hold it against him for going with what he did.

Should probably just cement that now.

Would it have been fair for X Death to go out because my save got eaten by the site going down?
