I fail to see how fire's small window of time available to play supersedes water's small window to play, especially since fire refuses to sub.
Seems like fire's the team preventing this fight from happening.
At this point the size of our windows isn't really relevant, but for the record I was available for 8 hours a weekday, whereas nils was available for only 3-6. As has been noted, the latest I was able to play was at the start of the Eastern tourney.
I say its not really relevant cuz our windows DID overlap in exactly one place. Glitch, I'd be careful with your accusations. I went out of my way to make this match happen. I made first contact, found nils in chat when he didnt reply via PM, and I myself got three hours sleep last night.
To be honest I didn't expect this much discussion. I kinda thought nils would pop in to say sorry he missed the scheduled time. If it'll help, here are copies of my communications with nils:
I'm available Wed 2300-Thurs 700, Thurs 2300-Fri 700, Fri 2300-Sat 700.
Does any of that work for you? If not, please reply with the exact range of times you're available.
Thanks,
kev

[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?
