Activity Win Request
I contacted my opponent on december 18th, I informed him of my time zone and the dates and times I would be able to battle him. On the 25th We scheduled our battle for today between 12-2pm (Gmt-5) and he didn't appear. I have to go in few minutes. So, I think I deserve the activity win. (
VM Conversation)
I was going to actually post requesting the opposite. As you can see from looking at our profiles there was some confusion about which simulator we were going to use. Instead of making an attempt to play the match today, (
legitimate confusion about yesterday occurred, as you can see I fully attempted to cater to my opponent via the lengthy VM messages on the profiles.) I was completely blown off and ignored the second the first match time was 'missed.'
Usually this would be just a crappy situation, but there's much more. I messaged him shortly after the initial match time explaining what happened.. as you can see for yourself on the VM.
Not only was that message seen and ignored, he was online today (including smogon for a long time as I unfortunately saw waiting in vain for him to respond to my VMs) and could have easily battled me. I finally even got Pokemon Online to work, went into the channel he told me to meet him in the day before and asked for him by name. Two separate people in the channel (it was a german channel but they understood english) pointed me out to 'him' but to no response. I'm not saying he ignored me on purpose just to try to get a free win, but I honestly don't know. I mean he even posted asking for a free win before the 'deadline', if that tells you anything.
So in the end, fully knowing he would be around today (the 29th) he decided to ignore my VM explaining what happened on the 28th and stay quiet when I came looking for him. :[
I went out of my way to be very patient and cater to my opponent, I'm sorry to all parties to have to deal with this. I know a smooth tournament is a good tournament.
