Requesting act
Oppo answered so late we couldn't even schedule
 
  1. Contacted opponent on Wednesday, offering fri/sat/sun availability
  2. Opponent showed no signs of life and had not logged onto smogon the entire week, so I call act on Friday
  3. Opponent responds on Saturday and offers Sunday availability, which I don’t entertain bc I have already called act and am not feeling generous

That sums it up. I reached out to schedule a little late and called act early, but I can justify both of these actions

NU Open R2 came out on Monday night which was a bit later than other Opens, so although I contacted my opponent on Wednesday, this would typically be more like “contacted on Tuesday” if the round had come out earlier, no shade. Calling Act on Friday is something I’d only do if my opponent was unresponsive and hadn’t logged on for several days, which was the case here and also for another one of the opens I was in, so I made a double act post to get it out of the way

Why not just play? I have Sunday availability anyways?

Yeah, but what if everyone you faced responded to your scheduling message on the 6th day of the week and expected you to accommodate their schedule? If my availability is relevant here, then what about the singular day that my opponent offered to play this week? Having to make a post like this is more work than just trying to schedule the game at this point, but I think I’d rather die on this hill out of principle

Anyways, respond to scheduling on normal days like mon-thurs and everything works out fine. Don’t be surprised that people won’t want to schedule last minute when they already have other games lined up
