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.
IF it was my mistake, my sincere apologies, you are in the other side of the world and I'm trying to work with you and speak in terms of your time zone IST, which you say you are in.
Not sure what you mean about changing usernames; he only has one forum account and it’s this one
he’s not exactly “refusing” to play — he came on at the time, messaged you, waited, and then claimed activity — he’s entitled to do this per tournament rules. He can still play you if he’d like, but he can also take activity as you wasted his time at the scheduled time
It’s ok! I feel bad for your opponent as it seems there was some genuine confusion and nobody wants that to get in the way of their experience, but he also has to be respectful of the scheduled times and the facts of the situation.
That is irrelevant though. He has no obligation to respond to play you at that point and he may very well have been busy or doing something else as he had no game scheduled two hours after the time, but only two hours prior.
You can’t expect someone to drop everything and respond or play you. Implying that is silly and not how things work.
Thank you Finch. I invited him to play not only then but anytime and did not expect him to drop everything. I truly think something fishy happened, and he doesn't seem to want to play even as of now. That's fine. I could have also been confused about the time conversion; I was genuinely trying to be helpful and refer to times in IST.
I’m not saying you acted in bad faith, but I am saying that there are no deleted messages and I only have proof of a scheduled time which he was on for and he followed the rules to gain activity.
I am sorry this is a lame way for things to go for you
