Hello,

My prizefight username is "Spear".

This letter is mainly to help you update and fix a bug in your match script, however I think that a refund would be appropriate in this situation.

MATCH INFORMATION SUMMARY:
Nickname: DOg
Server #6
Entry: £3.00
Pot: £22.50
Map: cs_office
Started: 21:50

WHAT HAPPENED:
As N^ mentioned in his letter, I was playing with the nickname "DOg" and joined the server either just before or during the initial match config setup. This was because I had to reboot my computer before the match started (I was suffering from high latency (a ping of around 140))

The game started, I was assigned to the terrorist team, however I joined dead and never spawned as you normally would at the start of a round, furthermore I was able to spectate each of the players on my team without the mp_fadetoblack anti cheat protection. 

Every time the round reset my player did not spawn with the rest of my team. This gave the impression / appearance that the server was slaying me either just before or as the round started. 

This happened consistently for about five rounds. Untill I used the M key to try and rejoin my team, eventually my attempt was sucessful and we were able to try and play the match despite the handicap.

Subsequently, the server / script issues prompted one of my team mates to leave the game as he deemed the match to be unfair.

I then experienced the same problem when we switched to the counter terrorist team. I tried the same technique as before (using the M key to rejoin the counter terrorists). However I somehow ended up on the wrong team. I quickly rectified this but another team mate left leaving the teams as 4v2. Quite an unfair advantage.

In true spirit I played to the end of the match with Spaniard, and actually managed to win a round.

RECCOMENDATION:
Focus on the point when I rejoined the server, I think that because I joined later that I may have missed the first few important commands issued by the script.

CONCLUSION:
I am not here to complain, I am a server admin and I understand that scripts like these are complex and hard to write. I like the prize fight system and wish you guys the best of luck in determining exactly what went wrong.

I can handle loosing £3 but a refund would be lovely ;)

If you need to contact me, or fancy a chat use the email contact provided and I can come onto IRC.

Thanks,
