[Thoughts]

just a note, I am still in a inconvenient time matchup >>

 

[Umbreon Dan]

well the deadline is technically up, but since most of you seem to be putting in a good effort to get your games done, i'll wait until tomorrow when i talk to ete before we end this round.

 

[gorgie]

Well i figured it was pointless to answer since the time you suggested had already passed....

And as i said, im available pretty much anytime.... i.e. 24/7. So please, be reasonable, and propose a REASONABLE time

 

[Zangetsu]

Aw dang it, I would have joined if I had known about this earlier. Best of luck to all of you in the tourney.

 

[xadow]

I hate being the critic, but you could've done this match over several days. Time isn't the issue. Shouldn't we move on to round 2? People have had more than enough time to arrange a match.

 

[Thoughts]

not everyone has convenient times to set one up, my PM hasn't even been responded too D=

 

[Umbreon Dan]

kakth vs CN and reachzero vs fireburn both get extensions because of players who recently subbed in.

the rest of you need to hurry the fuck up. especially -mind- and polelover44. you guys activity posted within an hour of each other so timezones clearly isn't an issue.

you have two more days as of now before we start giving people the boot.

3 things.

1. were we supposed to be the colour under the column that are name was under

2. if possible and me and my opponent agree on it can we have matches that are first to be leading after an even number of matches. What i mean is if i draw white and win I feel like it wasnt fair because I had the better side for a 1 match tourney. So I play white and my opponent plays white and if I win and draw then i Win, but if i win and lose we go through the 2 games until there is a clear winner.

3 this is the first of my last 4 tournaments on smogon where i have one my first match :D

xadow: Timezones are a huge problem. IDK Floppy's timezone, but mine is GMT+3. He is never on when I am, and I guess he'd say the same thing about me.

1. yes.

2. if you want to sure but i dont know why you would. the first move advantage is marginal and the player who had white is going to be using black with a different opponent in the next round and vice versa

Been trying to contact extra. and set up a time but have been having trouble

Same..

 

[ultimifier]

fuck. I was under the white column and ended up playing black as me and my opponent flipped a coin to determine it. and the white advantage is pretty noticable on a player like me

 

[Thoughts]

K Im working on it, once again the time zones are like GMT+5 vs GMT-5 D= so we're prolly gonna need the weekend to do this ._.

 

[gorgie]

ill just give Plopper the win to avoid complications and setbacks.

"gg"

Yeah, its only weekends that our times match, but we will get it done.

 

[wtansley]

Probably too late but I'd like to sub in if possible, I can play basically any time all weekend

 

[Umbreon Dan]

i need to talk to ete before anything happens. you will likely be able to sub in.

a bunch of you are complaining about timezones making games difficult. would it help if i paired you up with different opponents?

Yes, Alakapimp is never on when I'm on, and vice-versa.

 

[Thoughts]

maybe, I still have no idea when crab is gonna be online

 

[wtansley]

If timezones are a problem you guys should use www.redhotpawn.com - it's a correspondence chess site so games don't have to be finished in one session. People could just move whenever they are online, and obviously if both players are online the game can still be played just like on a real-time site.

 

[Fireburn]

Reachzero and I are gonna shoot for Sunday afternoon, but I would ask that you give him the win IF we can't do it as that is the only I chance I can play and I'd rather not want this round to drag on any longer because of me.
