When I told you that" you mean that you cancel our match? you said to me "Yes",so I was angry.
however I know that there was some misunderstandings on the language now.

->lycier: tomorrow I have a Chinese player playing for IAC ... not with a regular partner though

lycier (Lobby): I don't know

lycier (Lobby): you mean we don't hold match for today?
->lycier: yes we do today and in 12 hours both are scheduled
->lycier: I have players scheduled for both times
lycier (Lobby): ÎʺòÓ
lycier (Lobby): why?

lycier (Lobby): I'm sorry that you violated our engagement and commitment

->lycier: what are you talking about??

lycier (Lobby): match twice a week is our engagement and commitment,nothing with chinese players

-> (name removed) : I need you to translate for me please, lycier is soooo confused. please tell him I have players arranged for tonight and tomorrow
.
lycier (Lobby): I must Protest
->lycier: if a player in the club is chinese and wishes to play for IAC I am not going to tell him or her no
->(name removed): I told him if a player in the club is chinese and wishes to play for IAC I am not going to tell him or her no
(Name removed) : is he on now?

->(name removed): I would ask ni hao if he was here but he isn't yes he is on now and I really do appreciate your help

lycier (Lobby): This is a joke,it is league activities between IAC and CBC

->lycier: do you have your team members here? Mine are all here

lycier (Lobby): You have no good faith, I will be terminated with your activities.very very saddness

(name removed) : ok. I told him

I had - and have- no idea at all why you would think I was cancelling the matches when I was asking you for your player's names so I could set the match.

I would not have continued on about this but calling me a liar is absolutely unacceptable. You had a chance to clarify things with someone who spoke both chinese and english and chose instead to go off in a tantrum. To then try to say it was just a misunderstanding is not sufficient.

I have a feeling this is where the misunderstanding happened:

You meant "Yes, we do hold match", lycier thought you meant "Yes, we don't hold match".

Some languages have different forms of "yes" for these two meanings, English doesn't.

A full sentence reply would have made it clear-
I am not asking to cancel the match.

I assume this was from Onoway- what`s his first language?
Lobby (or any instant messaging) is a bad place to arrange if people don't make sure before getting annoyed.

that's why I got someone to speak to him who speaks his language. Apparently that didn't help.

It's also difficult to explain anything when someone refuses to speak to you and even leaves the site so you can't know what they have understood and what they haven't.
