Yeah Wednesday 8pm +0 should be fine

ok see u then

Hi sorry some work stuff got rescheduled, are you able to do same (or any similar) time tomorrow?

thats rough. i can do thursday 8pm+0

Appreciate that, see you tomorrow 8pm +0

Hey is there you could play same time Sat instead? It turns out scheduling for weekdays is harder than I thought it would be

Terribly sorry about this, if you want to just call act I won't blame you

I literally cant delay so imma ask Evilo42 on the ruling here. entire Friday-Sunday weekend booked with games / auctions

I would really hate for losers finals to be an act win but I already granted an extra long extension and I don't think extending again into next week (which is probably the only way this will be played) is reasonable, and asking to reschedule so close to the time twice doesn't help. I probably have to give it to Pixelbob.

I see, in that case I will try to play despite the setback, it is possible for me to play while at work so I will

I probably will lose but it is better tahn taking a guaranteed, you really aren't free at all on Saturday PixelBob? I understand if so

Or Sunday, is there not an hour you can play?

I think you technically have act rights here but it's kinda odd to say you cant go this weekend at all and then say you cant go next as well. Ive never had to schedule a game Mon-Thu before this is my first time ever doing it and I messed up. If theres even a single hour you can play this weekend I will elect to play then, otherwise, I will click buttons while in a work meeting just lmk which I have to do

I appreciate your effort but Pixelbob has informed me that after you offered him the act win and I confirmed I would give it to him, he assumed he no longer had to play and went out. Given his act case was already airtight, I don't think we can make this happen sadly. Thank you again for trying though.

By act win I meant, if I don't show up, you can call it at 8:15 as the rules state. I said this because I figured that for a game this late in the tour there could potentially be a social pressure on calling act in the first place so I wanted to alleviate him of that. What I did not say is "take win". That is how I have always seen act wins being called since I started this site. Whenever someone takes win before the actual game time its always because of verbatim "take win". I told him "you can call act", referring to when the game happens

So I'm confused as to why you've already bolded him when nothing has happened, no time was missed, no win was given, no act claim was even posted in the thread (which is how I've always seen that happen too)
