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.
Got some problems for making my game with Parivard to happen.
Don't know if is possible for an 1 or 2 days extensions because i want to do the games to have some fun with mewtwo freeze wars. =)
Caetano VMed parivard at the beginning of the round, giving a timezone and asking when to schedule a time. parivard responded on the same day, offering a generous range of time and a timezone. Five days later, with no response from Caetano, parivard prompted Caetano to respond. Today, a full week later, Caetano responded two hours before the deadline. While the following scheduling chain is incredibly confusing to follow, the fact remains that Caetano did not respond until the day of the deadline. Therefore, activity win is awarded to parivard.
Alkione and kaori set an agreed time for the 25th. kaori missed the scheduled time and has not responded to further attempts to reschedule by Alkione. Therefore, activity win is awarded to Alkione. As a courtesy, please notify captains of the opposing team if your opponent does not show up to the scheduled time. Captains, please stay on top of your players.
SOMALIA and So Noisy set a scheduled time on the 22nd. Based on VMs, So Noisy showed up and SOMALIA missed. Activity win awarded to So Noisy (call activity in the thread next time please).
jcbc and Hamhamhamham agreed, early in the round, to play on the 20th 1 PM UTC+2. Ham sent a VM at what he claims to be the correct scheduled time asking "you around?" jcbc (in his own words) missed the time and sent a VM to reschedule on the following day, and then again on the 25th when there was no response. Ham finally responded today, well past the deadline. jcbc had already called activity.
Whether this decision is a flip/extension or an activity win for jcbc hinges on if Ham was actually online at the scheduled time, which jcbc claims was not the case. You can hover over the "Sep 21, 2019" timestamp in the VM correspondence to see for yourself the specific time that VM was posted. I can't take a screenshot of the hover text, so here's a picture of the HTML code for me:
Note the "Sep 21, 2019 at 7:25 AM." My timezone is GMT-5. That means at 7:25 AM GMT-5, Ham posted his VM. The agreed time was 1 PM GMT+2. 7:25 + 5 = 12:25 PM GMT+0. 12:25 + 2 = 2:25 PM GMT+2, 1 hour 25 minutes after the scheduled time.
There is no evidence Ham was at the scheduled time, so both missed. Ham has been unresponsive to further rescheduling attempts. Therefore, activity win is awarded to jcbc.
(insert shitty joke about the TIME i lost writing this shit because TIMEZONES ahahahahaha)
TopLel TopKek missed the agreed upon time, Eseque asked for extension. Since both parties put effort into scheduling, something I want to encourage, looking at the length of this God forsaken post, I'll grant Eseque's request. 2 day extension.
No clue what happened here...they scheduled and then dream quit and got subbed out? Anyway, SprinklesInsultMikaav - Sprinkles's sub for ORAS Ubers is void; it was made well after the deadline.
[clarification edit]: I unfortunately can't enforce the original deadline when it comes to playing your battles, because nearly 20 battles were played after the deadline. However, I choose to enforce the original deadline when it comes to making substitutions. I can empathize with having a shitty teammate that dips midway through the first week, but I refuse to toss aside the deadline like it's nothing.
As for what will happen with this matchup, I'm awarding Mikaav the win by walkover.
Dream forfeited his match and a substitution was not made before it was too late (in other words, "Yesterday").
edit: Lutra has overridden this decision and reinstated the substitution. Insult's original 2-0 stands.
Hec reached out to bugzinator, bugzinator asked "are you okay to play Sunday?" No specific time was given, nor asked for by Hec. Hec called activity after bugzinator didn't show up to their scheduled time...which was nonexistent. There was no scheduled time, therefore there is no significant effort from either party to justify an activity win. This series is flipped.
bugzinator advances to Round 2.
On bugzinator's request, this series will be played with a 2 day extension.
At the beginning of the round, Mr.378 VMed Misterioussaint giving a timezone and asking what time worked. A rather tentative time for September 20th was set. Based on VM communication, it seems neither showed up for that time. While there was visible contact, neither side made a significant atttempt, therefore the series is flipped.
I initially flipped this, because no visible contact. Melle2402 won the flip and then FOMG contacted me saying that Melle2402 has a case for activity. Evidence is pending, but for now, Melle2402 advances to Round 2.
Edit: After consulting Sadlysius, jhonx's captain, we've agreed to go through with the coinflip. Melle2402 advances to Round 2.
Mister Tim reached out, SOMALIA proposed a time, Mister Tim didn't respond until 13 minutes after the proposed time, and that was a "online now on PS" post. Mister Tim called activity. The proposed time does not constitute an agreed upon time, as Mister Tim didn't confirm. SOMALIA had no expectation that Mister Tim would be there. For a time to be agreed upon, both one side needs to propose and the other needs to agree. The latter did not happen. There is no apparent attempt to reschedule from either side. This series is flipped.
Mister Tim advances to Round 2. Please be mindful of scheduling etiquette.
