Uh, Cainehill. As much as I know you love to hate Cohen, you really can't blame him for this one: The Battlefield folks, apparently devoid of a server for hosting Dom2 tournament games, have chosen to use the Mosehansen server, as their most logical choice: It's a neutral server not owned by any of the players. As Cohen happened to be a staffmember (a questionable move, which, I feel, among many others lately, is undermining the Battlefield's legitimacy as the Official Dom2 Tournament Organizing Service), it's only reasonable to expect him to operate such a game.

Since, of course, everyone has been rather irate with Cohen, obviously, the owner of The Battlefield has decided to take charge of the matter personally. I don't sense Cohen's involvement in this decision.

The fact still remains that Cohen, and The Battlefield, have played dog-in-the-manger with a slot for going on three weeks without starting a game.

As you say, TB taking on Cohen puts them in a dubious light. Them also not using their own machine (c'mon, hosting Dom2 takes way less than hosting a website like that) is dubious, as is a for-profit outfit using a public domain resource like Esben's server.
