Nume pm'd asking about the status of the my duel with 918 person so I thought it'd be good if I updated the team on here.
So, after posting in the war-rules section, 918 person sent me a message at 4am my time around 2days ago to get into chat without posting timings that he's available for duel, was asleep at that time so not possible to duel at that time, talked to GG and memorystick about it that day, GG said they are not intending on having substitutes though.
Stayed up till 2am or so yesterday, he happened to be afk in the chatroom but ended up going offline, tried waiting for a while more but he didn't come back on, no good. Woke up at 4am and he wasn't around either, went to bed again.
Came home from school and went into chat around 12am his time(provided he is actually GMT-5 anyway) and was told he went offline a while before that, didn't ask how long the a while was though, sounds like bad luck on my part anyway. Memorystick is considering to have a sub play, but that would depend on GG.
I'll try and wake up early tomorrow to see if I can catch him around, I should be online around around... 2am-ish GMT/UTC time? Provided I can wake on time.
