Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thursday should be fine for me. What times that day will be you free? I have a case write up due the next day, so i may be focusing on that instead of keeping an eye on what's happening on irc or showdown
that's 6:30am friday for me (GMT 10:30+) - friday is a bad day for me - i'm busy all day. sadly the times i'm available on my thursday (afternoon) would be your wednesday :(
i'm free for most of my weekend (your friday and saturday), might be better to get our battles done then
