Server restart, Si J / microcell, you guys are idiots

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?

To quote:

In lieu of a monthly membership fee, PoolStars takes a percentage fee from each game playedbased on the game size.

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.

Just to clarify my point a bit more. When there are:

- no constant freerolls any more,
- tourneys struggling to get up,
- sng's dead as always,

and the next biggest game going is $5 ps...

My point is, that the $100+ players are such a huge chunk of your revenue source. To do this to us was poor form and bad business.

Apologies for the idiot remarks, bit harsh maybe.

And by the way, best example again how logical you are. Spratt Factors tells you that 10 minutes before restart a info chat is not enough.... And instead of sayin ok we do it 60 mins before it restarts now, you say: ouer time is more worth then 1 rack.... emmm where is the sence of your awnser?? is that the logical thinking u talk about when you create your tour plans? And you realy think its the fault of the costumers that no tourneys start, no ppl join to this game, not many players purchase? Well well good thinking, yes...

Of course, that the customer is always right, but there are situations where we need to reboot server immediately, and we can't to plan this always before. Not everything is as simple as it seems to you. We will try to communicate well before restart. Sorry again.
