You just reset the server. Fine.
About 20 minutes beforehand and we got the first warning of "server will be restarted in 10 minutes", I whinged to microcell to see if he could give Ella and I more time to finish our race to 5 for $100 ps. He very kindly obliged, and I was very thankful.
So for the next 15 minutes or so whenever the countdown got close and it looked like Ella and I weren't going to finish in time, I msg'd microcell and he added some more time before the reset.
I think I was 3-1 up at the first announcement, and when I was at 4-2, microcell told me he couldn't give me any more time because he was under orders from Si J.
Okay, then why the hell would you let us mess around for the last 20 minutes for no reason as it turned out?

So you guys hate money obviously. Good thinking.
1) Announcements of server restarts need to be more advanced than 10 minutes. Races to 5 can take an hour. 45-60 minutes in advance would be good.
2) You guys must hate money.
3) Si J, and to a lesser extent microcell. That was stupid.
