badass vs. fatty
This is a bit unfortunate, but the literally only logical option here is to declare fatty the loser by timeout.
There are 4 options here:
1.) Give fatty the win if he had it 100% - he did not absolutely 100% have it, so cannot do this
2.) Give badass the win if he had it 100% - he did not absolutely 100% have it, so cannot do this
3.) See it is a timeout, and give fatty the loss and badass the win - timeouts almost always default to auto-lose, but there was some haziness due to a lack of notification from showdown, so up in the air at the moment
4.) See it is a timeout, notice the lack of notification, and declare a recreation of the battle at that point - explanation follows
Since neither 1 nor 2 is definitive, can't do either. This leaves 3 and 4. There is enough haziness in the fact that showdown did not show the 30 / 20 / 10 second remaining messages to not immediately default to 3, so, for the moment, we'll move on to 4. If we go with 4, we have to recreate the match. To recreate the match...I need fatty's team.
I do not have fatty's team. Fatty did not submit a team to either oglemi or me...meaning we cannot recreate this match. If we cannot recreate the match, I cannot do #4.
This leaves literally 1 option left...#3. Again, this decision is simply a matter of the dominoes of the logical puzzle falling...no judgment call here. Can't do 1; can't do 2; can't do 4 because no team. Default to 3.
This isn't directly related to the logic of this decision, but it is a subjective judgment call on why I don't even "feel bad" about it: though fatty didn't get the 30/20/10 seconds remaining message, it did say 40 seconds remaining, and he clearly took longer than 40 seconds. This wasn't a glitch in the sense that showdown timed him out whether he definitely had time remaining; it was a "glitch" in the sense that he was timed out after a 40 seconds remaining message was displayed, he took longer than 40 seconds, and showdown merely did not show the messages for how much time he had left. Yes, that sucks. But the glitch wasn't that he was timed out when he had time left; it was merely that it did not display how much time he had left after he only had 40 seconds left. If he had submitted his team, I would allow a battle recreation; however, he did not, and therefore we cannot recreate the battle.
Also, just to emphasize: NO, I WILL NEVER, EVER TAKE CHANNEL LOGS WITH WHATEVER "PROOF" YOU CAN MUSTER OF VALIDITY AS A PROXY FOR TEAM SUBMISSIONS.
badass gets the win due to timeout loss for fatty.
SUBMIT YOUR FUCKING TEAMS. The team submission is not only for disconnections...it is a general catch all to save you guys from acts of God as this apparently was...so SUBMIT YOUR FUCKING TEAMS.
