Round 4: Please document scheduling interactions here

[catalyzeme]

Woop, sorry if you had already contacted someone and this wasn't up yet. Here it is, though. We haven't had any big scheduling issues on our end this war, keep it up guys!

Sent to Demagog:

Hey, I just wanted to see what time zone you are in. I have a pretty unpredictable next few days, so I'm not 100% when I'll be around yet, but I should be able to work a time in pretty easily. I'm in US Pacific time zone (GMT -7). When are you usually around?

From Demagog on Tuesday:

I'm US Central. I can do any time, except for late night tomorrow [Wednesday], and I won't be available at all starting Friday afternoon. So afternoon/evening tomorrow or anytime Thursday. I'm flexible.

Sent to Demagog (Wednesday late afternoon)

Hey. Im online right now, probably will be for about an hour (a few minutes longer if we start our match around then.) So if you get this, meet me on chat. Otherwise during the early afternoon tomorrow (thursday) will be good for me, I think.

Skydaemon sent me this. I've replied, but haven't gotten a response back. It's early in the duel phase, though, so I'm not too worried.

Heya,

It looks like I'm your opponent for round 4 of the war.  I looked up the times in your slave market profile but it didn't make any sense, so I'm just going to guess a time and see if it works for you.

How does wednesday nov 17th, 8pm est sound?

That's roughly 4 hours after the duel phase starts I believe, we'll get it done and out of the way early.

PM me back and let me know if the time is acceptable, or if not, what a better time for you is.

Cheers,

[jmdt]

I sent lokiburn a PM asking for a duel on friday night.  He's good till 10PM PST, which is 1AM local time.  Should be plenty of time to get it in after I get home.

tl; dr: I'm playing nils at the Eastern Tourney start time.  I leave for vacation a couple hours after that and will not be able to play subsequently.

Regarding my vacation, I'm visiting family and will return on 12/2; they have internet access.  I'll have less free time and my schedule will be choppy but I'll be here.

[01:48:55 PM] kevkev60614: nils, have you had an opportunity to check your PMs?
[01:49:03 PM] nilsieboy: just doing it
[01:49:12 PM] nilsieboy: are your times GMT there?
[01:49:20 PM] nilsieboy: because i'm at school then...
[01:50:00 PM] kevkev60614: yes, they're GMT. none of that works for you?
[01:50:05 PM] nilsieboy: or it's to late
[01:50:49 PM] nilsieboy: but that times are to late/early for me i'm srry....
[01:51:13 PM] Stoba: What time zone are you in, Nilsie?
[01:51:35 PM] kevkev60614: ok, please let me know the exact range of times you're available. i'll see what can be worked out.
[01:51:40 PM] nilsieboy: GMT +1
[01:52:05 PM] nilsieboy: today/tommorow from 18:00 to 21:00 GMT
[01:52:13 PM] nilsieboy: i have test week so need to rest good...
[01:52:27 PM] nilsieboy: friday from 16:00 to 22 GMT
[01:52:47 PM] nilsieboy: saturday from eastern tourney time to 22:00
[01:53:57 PM] nilsieboy: you/
[01:54:29 PM] kevkev60614: Eastern is the earlier tournament. you can play at 500 GMT on Sat?
[01:55:16 PM] nilsieboy: then eastern starts...
[01:55:29 PM] nilsieboy: can you play after it? (i really wanna play in it because i love the rules)
[01:56:02 PM] kevkev60614: i can't play after it. how about before it?
[01:56:26 PM] nilsieboy: eastern is already really early...
[01:56:36 PM] nilsieboy: first rounds i'm really tired/half death
[01:58:24 PM] kevkev60614: ok, well we've ruled out weekdays, after the Eastern tourney, and before the Eastern tourney...
[01:59:07 PM] nilsieboy: well i can play at almost every time between western and esatern
[01:59:11 PM] nilsieboy: *eastern
[01:59:54 PM] kevkev60614: if you can't think of an alternative, we'll have to play during the tourney. :/ i don't want it then either, but it looks like the only possibility remaining.
[02:00:29 PM] nilsieboy: eastern or western?
[02:00:36 PM] kevkev60614: Eastern
[02:00:37 PM] nilsieboy: (you can't play any time between tourneys?)
[02:01:13 PM] kevkev60614: no, i'm sorry. i leave 5 hours after Eastern start and drive for 14 hours. :/
[02:01:25 PM] nilsieboy: 
[02:01:33 PM] nilsieboy: 5 hours after eastern?
[02:01:41 PM] nilsieboy: then you can play after?
[02:01:58 PM] kevkev60614: no, i'm sorry. i leave 5 hours after Eastern start and drive for 14 hours. :/
[02:02:51 PM] kevkev60614: if you wanna wake up and play before the tourney, i'd be down with that. otherwise it looks like Eastern tourney time is the only time we can meet up. any other ideas?
[02:03:37 PM] nilsieboy: kev,the tourney is already REALLY early
[02:03:48 PM] nilsieboy: 6:00 and i have to tennis that day to
[02:03:58 PM] nilsieboy: quarter finals so i need good rest...
[02:05:07 PM] kevkev60614: ok. then Eastern tourney time is our only option.
[02:05:25 PM] nilsieboy: yea
[02:06:12 PM] kevkev60614: sorry, nils. i know you want to play in the tourney. if you become available any time that i am, lemme know and I'll adjust my schedule.
[02:08:02 PM] nilsieboy: chat freeze :S
[02:08:10 PM] nilsieboy: but can't you play earlier on friday?
[02:08:14 PM] nilsieboy: i can play from 17:00 GMT to 22:30 GMT then
[02:09:51 PM] kevkev60614: that's exactly when i work. earliest i could possibly start a game is 23:15.
[02:11:02 PM] nilsieboy: multiple chat freezes :S
[02:11:07 PM] nilsieboy: but can you play then earlier kev?
[02:12:43 PM] nilsieboy: well i'm scared and screwed this round
[02:14:10 PM] kevkev60614: i'm doing my part to make your death as convenient as possible, nils.
[02:14:39 PM] kevkev60614: i should assume from your lack of response that 23:15 on Fri doesn't work, and we're still on for Eastern Tourney start?
[02:17:55 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: are you thinking about it?
[02:18:07 PM] nilsieboy [»] kevkev60614: srry had telephone..

[02:21:48 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: unless you find another time or you're willing to sub, I'll look for you at Eastern Tourney start.

[02:24:13 PM] nilsieboy [»] kevkev60614: that's sad dude...
[02:24:37 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: nils, it's not that difficult. i gave the times i'm available, you gave the times you're available. we overlap in exactly one
[02:24:47 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: spot. so we're playing at Eastern Tourney start.
[02:25:24 PM] nilsieboy [»] kevkev60614: yea but i just hope i can make it

[02:31:05 PM] kevkev60614 [»] kevkev60614: it's not convenient for either of us, but as it's the only possibility for both of us I'm going to arrange my schedule around
[02:31:10 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: meeting you at that time. ok?
[02:31:13 PM] nilsieboy: chat freeze again
[02:31:20 PM] kevkev60614 [»] nilsieboy: it's not convenient for either of us, but as it's the only possibility for both of us I'm going to arrange my schedule around

[02:31:27 PM] nilsieboy [»] kevkev60614: yea i thaught after (because i see you a lot in tourneys to)
[02:31:32 PM] nilsieboy [»] kevkev60614: but i'll gues i have to now...

[11:32:53 PM] SilentWings: Or just Freezes?
[11:32:56 PM] ddevans96z [»] kevkev60614: if no one shows up before the deadline, you'll get the win

[11:35:03 PM] kevkev60614 [»] ddevans96z: i'm honestly not looking for a free ride. i like our chances in this matchup. but my deck needs 6 cards upped to be effective

[11:35:42 PM] kevkev60614 [»] ddevans96z: my deck might actually lose if we're forced to sub. and obviously we shouldn't be forced to sub cuz i'm here now and he's not.

[11:37:26 PM] Dragoon1140: 10:37*
[11:37:28 PM] kevkev60614 [»] ddevans96z: i understand if you don't want to give the match to me despite his absence. can i tell my Team to sub for me with 6 upped,

[11:38:36 PM] ddevans96z [»] kevkev60614: That would be a possiblity, but I think I'm going to give you the match
[11:39:11 PM] kevkev60614 [»] ddevans96z: thank you. lemme know when you've had sufficient time to make a final ruling. then i get to go to sleep. 
[11:39:13 PM] SilentWings: ai1 beaten lol
[11:39:24 PM] ddevans96z [»] kevkev60614: I need to sleep to

Well, this is going to be fun.

I think the only option is to give you the win, unless you can work something out.

[kev]

If two of you jave time to test even 10 matches of nils deck cersua mine w/6 UPS, it'd be helpful.

I have... I'm up for half an hour, if we don't begin then I go to sleep and then we can do it tomorrow.
though, based on the matches we played, I feel that its a 70%-30% in the fractix's favor.
