As this 2-page conversation between Metal Sonic and me should hopefully prove, Metal Sonic is either lying or making an honest mistake, but at the end of the day simply not telling the truth

Metal Sonic was the first to make contact, granted, giving his time zone. I in turn proposed a day, never got a reply, and later proposed what hours during that day I would be available, and again never got a reply until that day was over. That reply being Metal Sonic asking me what my "timinga" was, whatever that may be. Metal Sonic then gave me details on his own availability, and I in turn proposed a specific time within his availability, SATURDAY around 13.00/13.30, GMT+1, as the conversation clearly shows. I was online around that time, sending VM's to Metal Sonic to inform him of that, Metal Sonic wasn't. I left my computer around 14.15, 15 minutes after Metal Sonic said he would be available, to do other things, and to my surprise when I got home I had a VM of Metal Sonic asking me where I was. I said I was away by that time, which I think I had every right to given his VM was send well after the time we would meet up. Upon telling him I was away by that time Metal Sonic replied saying that basically he found it odd I was away because 3 o clock in the afternoon "should" be "very very convenient" for me. What is convenient for me and what isnt is my business, and outside appointed times, after waiting for my opponent for over an hour, I have every right to leave my computer and do other things I think.
Anyway, to my surprise I logged on to my computer just now and see that Metal Sonic was waiting for me around 13.30 o clock GMT+1 on SUNDAY. This is, as our VM conversation shows, NEVER agreed on, I did NOT John, Metal Sonic did that, on Saturday.
Given the deadline is still a fair distance away, I feel confident we can make this work. If not though, I feel I deserve the activity win because Metal Sonic has been very uncooperative in replying to time slots I propose, one even being within a wider time range he proposed earlier, and he has been accusing me of things that are outright untrue, be it intentional or not.
