How to.. and how not to ask for a restart if you are late.

Right up front, there is the question if you should even ask for an ongoing battle to be stopped and restarted for you if you missed the start. I personally will not do that, but when I am in a battle, I have little objection to someone asking... I must admit, it doesn't sit really well, but I do not object, and given the state of affairs, will usually go along with a restart.
HOWEVER, there are some things that should be considered before asking for a restart. First, how late are you... and how many folks will you be asking to throw away their time spent in the makeup and start of the game. A few, is better than many obviously, and jsut started is better than 5 mins in...
Of utmost importance is if you stick your head in, and the battle might restart for your benefit, for Pete's sake have the decency to STAY in teamspeak and the site, so that you can join, of and when the group terminates there battle FOR YOU.
Do NOT be grumpy, should the group chose not to drop everything for you... many times, battles ultimately get cancelled all together, when one or more do not want to waste the time that they have "invested", and chose to leave... so you have displaced a person who was considerate and on time... often when that person drops out, it triggers more to drop,,, and as sometimes happens, the battle collapse, with no participation by any... which you precipitated.
This community is very accommodating, and willing to include... many times, the more the merrier... but not always... and I think the operative words might be.... ask if you will, but thoughtful about the situation, and "be considerate".
