Forced on a neutral time and date.
~45 minutes before the forced time, Pro4life and sofiene spoke on IRC. Pro4life gave sofiene one hour to fix his troublesome ping, but Pro4life logged off only ~15 minutes later. sofiene managed to stabilize his connection, and was ready to play at 22:30 CET. Normally sofiene would get a win by forfeit in this kind of situation, but since he for some reason vaguely agreed to forfeit the game himself, the game is now considered a double w/o.
Both players receive only one warning each for the forfeit (rule 7.2.2), because of extenuating circumstances.
May be replayed if both players agree. The punishment may be down-sized if replayed.
Pro4life dropped out on Jan 16. Gave final confirmation on email. Game turns into a forfeit on his behalf.
