Since you said 9pm EST, does that mean 10pm EDT? :P
Not sure if Obi is avoiding me knowing I'm banned or if he just hasn't been around, but he hasn't responded to my PM to see about contacting me either to try fighting on a different server. Of course, since I'm pretty sure I'm still banned there is about a 0% chance of me showing up on the Smogon NB server for the deadline, so I guess I'm screwed if he pops in eh? ;/
