First time you popped in chat wasn't exactly a set time, so we said we'd play in an hour. You came back and I put a deck together quickly but as I told you I got a phone call. Can't really predict that, sorry. Next time just don't wait if you have stuff to do man, I certainly wasn't forcing you to stick around while I took care of my call.
I certainly don't intend this to be an "issue" of some kind but I must say that your response sort of surprises me.
Here is my version:
- It's afternoon and I got roughly an hour of free time on my hands
- I see that TStar is online in forum
- I go to chat and ask if we can play round4
- He answers "I am busy doing stuff ... just pop in any time you want later."
- In need of something more definite to make best use of my time I say: "Ok, I'll be back in 1 hour. Have your decks ready."
- I come back after exactly 1 hour and ping TStar
- He replies after a while "Oh, it's been an hour already? Let me make a deck ..."
- I wait around 10-15min and go have a smoke to bridge the time
- A couple words are exchanged that we could begin to play (?)
- TStar vanishes from the scene for almost half an hour without word
- I try to reach him constantly (is he still making his deck?, did his browser crash?, did he drop dead?)
- He eventually comes back and says "Sorry, got a phone call."
- We finally get to play

net-time wasted on waiting around: ~40min ... for a measly best-of-3 match
Can you see how all that does not relate in any way to you "not forcing me to stick around" or whatever?
I wanted to play to get it done. I am not willing and able to try the "pop-in" method over several days until it
finally works somehow because there is not a disturbance of some kind.
The only point here is that we both agreed to play at a certain time ... So it should get done.
If your decks are not ready or if you might be receiving phone-calls that are way more important than
another real person waiting for you somewhere on this planet, then just say:
"Sorry, I can't play today. I still need to make my decks ... phone ... yadadadada ... how about we play on thursday at 15:00gmt ?"
