@AlphaZealot Also (off topic but I do not want to PM your very busy) Any sign of VGC '13 rules comming out in the Very new future? Like an annoucement or something. alot of people are asking me the rules for VGC '13 rules and I have to tell them "I do not know yet TPCi has not made it offical" and i am sure the gym wants to know what you are thinking and if it is ok.
I just have to ask, is there no way at all to tell from the system end which side is d/cing first?
From any system's perspective, one party never just "disconnects". A disconnect is always between two people.
When you have a connection error on wifi, it's not because one or the other of you isn't connected, it's because neither of you can establish a connection to the other. It's like the two DSes are tied together by a string; if that string gets cut, you can't tell "whose connection" was cut, because there's only one connection and it represents both of them.
Of course, from our human subjective point of view, we can clearly tell when we are still connected to the internet, and when we aren't still connected to the internet, but from a systems point of view there's no way to differentiate from what I know about networking/computing.
This is true if there are only the 2 peers in the connection, but since all of this is going through the Global Link, that third party should be a middle-man for communications. This should allow Nintendo to track which party stopped communicating with the server.
