I actually feel that this apology was completely unneccessary. There are a few reasons that players should forgive for going dead in a rt game. Home problems, work problems, computer problems, health problems, etc. Stuff like that we should all be compassionate about because it will probably happen to all of us in some course of our time with CC. Possibly another situation that we should forgive is if a rt games goes on for a long time and players need to get back to real life for a bit.
No quip about xayath's post; hes a honorable and nice guy for coming out and admitting guilt, though in my eye its hardly a fault of his.
