Today wont work due to me having a doctors appointment at 2 , and weekends never work for me due to my dad who is a truck driver being home then, and he doesnt approve of mons. That leaves monday, of which the deadline is 8am on that day, and that wont work for me due to my dad still being home at that time. My hands are actually tied, and I seriously don't see a timeslot that could even work for me at this point. You missed our time, you are the one who didn't follow schedule guidelines if you actually read through them, and tbh it doesnt matter if it isn't "your fault" that you missed our scheduled time, you still weren't there when you were supposed to be and in the same boat as me not informing you I was sick, you didn't inform me you couldn't make it until an hour after the fact, the key difference of course being you missed the time when I didn't. Legit the only solution I have is an act. win, as this certainly doesn't deserve a coinflip due to, yet again, you missed scheduled time, where as I didn't.

Sorry to be a major inconvenience, but shit happens and it seems like your irl situation has as much to do with this as mine(tennis+plane vs. sick+doctors appointment) so its not like you can even really blame me. Sorry it has to be this way, I feel extra bad(extremely bad time to bring this up but whatever) since I have been a sub to your youtube channel for quite a while, and it honestly does feel like I'm pulling a dick move doing this but honestly I don't see another way around it :/

its a dick move because based on what you are saying, you were only available at that single time in the entire week (which is ridiculous itself), and only informed me of this AFTER that time. Not only that, but you also reassured me before that time with a "no worries lol" when I voiced my concerns about being able to strictly make it to the time you gave me.

I'm not saying I scheduled this perfectly, but I considered myself coming on at 8 to be within the scheduled time based on what you had told me previously. Heck, your response made me think that I would be bothering you to worry more about the scheduling and say "hey I may not make it at 7 sharp, i might come on an hour later".

The key difference here is understanding that what you said before you fell sick doesn't really change in meaning, and so if you need to be more clear about it and adjust the meaning of the time we scheduled, its up to YOU to first say something so that I can say something myself. Otherwise, my understanding of the scheduled time would mean that I didn't really miss the scheduled time at all, I just didn't come on at 7 sharp, and you are the one who is pussying out.

If all you did was tell me beforehand "hey I fell sick so I won't be able to play at any other time than thursday at 7" you would have grounds for an activity win, but as it stands right now, you're not in any better position than me. If our irl situations do not allow us to play even with an extension then so be it, but i'll be dammed if you think you can pull off an activity win with this bullshit.

On my phone so pardon any miss spellings/bad grammer.
I was available a lot before our scheduled time, but seeing as how we scheduled then, thats irrelevent. And no, we scheduled for 7pm. I said I would be able to stick around for an hour or two, but that doesnt change the scheduled time. I did wait for an hour afterwards. And when you finally messaged, it was to say that you were STILL playing tennis and wouldn't be able to make it. Therefor, it seems you had no way of playing within a reasonable timeframe from the scheduled time. And btw, I just want to emphasize the fact that we scheduled for 7pm. How long I THOUGHT I could stay around for after has nothing to do with the fact that that was the written and agreed upon time we scheduled for. Also I'm not pussying out. It's just inconceivable for me to play within a resonable confine of time at this point, and you missed the agreed upon time and stated you would still be a while, how is that not grounds for activity?

I can't emphasize enough that your personal view of how I typed things and their meaning is irrelevant btw. If you look at my wall you'll see I do that with anyone, I just try to be friendly in general. Even if I add a "lol" or a "n_n", The time I wrote and you agreed upon is the scheduled time. I believe its standard fair to stick around for an hour afterwards anyways. SO therefor I don't see how I'm not in a position for activity. We are technically both at fault for how poor we scheduled, but in the end we did agree upon a time,, and I said I would be on for at least an hour afterwards, to which I was. You missed the time we agreed upon by at least a bit over the time I was obligated to remain on. I left when it became evident you couldn't show. How this is "bs" on my end is beyond me, as I was within my right to leave after an hour since i said I could stay "for an hour "OR two". I stayed for at least the one hour I said I would. You messaged stating you were STILL busy and asked to schedule to a different time, never mind it was inconvenient to me since I waited an hour for you to finally say you weren't going to show. I believe I am completely within the confines of an activity win since, again, and I can't state this enough, YOU missed the time WE agreed upon while I was there.

Now Im honestly done arguing about this mess because it's pretty clear you're just butthurt about missing the time and would rather have the undeserved 50% chance to take the win then the deserved 0%(ofc who wouldn't? but its blasphemous to think you are in the right to a coinflip when you are the at fault party in this situation)

I said i was coming back, not that i was still playing. You just disappeared when i was getting on, and are continuing to post even though you cannot conceivably play. Fight me rn, ill be on my computer in 10-15 minutes, finishing lunch. Stop acting like you can't play anymore.

You realize if we play after 8 am on Monday the games result will still count. We definitely can still play, so just give me some times that i can try to conform to.

the thing is, as I already stated, monday mornings dont work for me due to my dad still being home. I legit have no more reasonable timeslots to play mons before deadline. Im standing by activity and Im not going to ask for an extension due to you being a dick about this whole thing and my mom having two different doctors appointments on tuesday and wednesday that I have to drive her to making an extension unfeasable anyways.

Is your dad at home all of Monday? I'm sure you have a few free hours in so many days. Don't act like the victim of me being annoyed when you are being ridiculoudly unreasonable about your availability.

Im not acting like a victim, I'm actually pretty booked the next few days and what with my sickness, I don't see a window opening up. If one does come up before hand I will let you know, and if not, sorry about your luck. Thats the best I can offer.

I recently saw kiyos post. If you can give me whatever times you are available on Monday or later I'll do my best to make one of the time (if it is feasable) since I'm abroad rn.

(I'm gmt+1 rn, usually back at the hotel in my night)

I can't give any 100% guarantees, so I'll post ranges where i should be able to come online for the majority (or entirety) of them.

Monday 11 pm - tuesday 1 am gmt+1
Tuesday 1:30 pm - end of train ride (idk at least 2 hrs probs, but idk the WiFi situation) gmt+1

If we haven't played by then I'll update my situation in Madrid

Some time opened up and I can play 6-8pm my time tonight if you can possibly make it, if not Im actually booked and I guess this is a coinflip according to kiyo

sounds like you guys should be able to get this done tonight as your availability lines up, 6-8 pm est is midnight-2am gmt+1 so hopefully this game gets done. you'll get a 24 hour extension, but if tonight somehow doesnt work and you're both able to play on tuesday i'll make it 48.

cool ty

sorry I missed the time we set, something came up. Is there any timeslots that would work for you regarding tuesday? I can do the aforementioned 6-8pm my time, or 1-3pm timeslot if that could work better. Hopefully you respond, if not... w/e I guess we're "even".

I can try the same 6-8 est thing tonight, although idk what my situation will be in Madrid until im there. 1-3 est might also work, i just don't know rn.
