Sorry, but 2 AM is a time where I have to sleep.


I think our group has some serious timezone issues.

OK my group I am available Friday afternoon, any chance we can do it then? I am off Tuesday and Wednesday if not.
I should be available on Tues or Weds evening.

I'm also off work today, if that's any help.

Here are the updated standings.

:siren: I noticed that round 2-3 and round 3-3 were virtually the same, so I've randomised the round 3 table. :siren:

OK well, I hate to be 'that guy', but what's the situation with group 1-1? Is it like, a different person or two who are offline at any given time, or is it the same person/people who are unavailable? Since there's just over a week left for the second round to be completed, so we should see if we can try to get the last round one bracket finished ASAP, so the schedule doesn't lag too far behind.
Is a stand-in/champion or two needed? If so, just remember that it's not just limited to the stand-in candidates in the OP - other goons/players (from other groups that is, or aren't involved in the event) are also acceptable stand-ins, and if they win it'll still be classified as a win for the person they're representing.

I think we've all been online every day, but US Eastern time (me) and Upside Down Australia time (Fredrik) appear to not overlap. We can only ever get 3 people in a chat room at once.

I've also been online except for a few occasions when I said I wouldn't be. We tried going for early morning saturday but that didn't really work.

Just to get this rolling If you three get in on a chat feel free to replace me with whomever, I don't really care (as long as I win).

Bowmore and I are in the same time zone, so that makes it easier. I'm also happy for someone to take my place as a champion if you other three are on. Factor and bowmore - you want to do the same? We will be able to get 3 on for sure.

We have 3 out of 4 online right now - Fredrik, Factor and I. Fredrik is about to go to sleep though. Bowmore, we've organised Lawful Waffle as your champion.

I know you haven't specifically given permission for a champion, but since we are so far behind now, I think this game will need to count unless all four of us can be online at some stage this weekend.

It appears that the champion is too stronk. Bowmore gets maximum points!

Here was the result of the last Round 1 game. How's everyone going with their Round 2?

Alright well, this round's end date has been extended to the 17th, due to the timezone issues a bunch of you all have been having - we'll see how it goes, hopefully the remaining matches for round two can be sorted out soon!

If you guys get three out of four, I'm willing to champion again. I'm usually tooling around on the computer, so just send me a message if you need one more to help finish up the round.

Hmm, may potentially need this to be extended again, although hopefully we can get the remaining matches finished before that becomes a necessity. So, what's the situation in terms of availability for the remaining two groups? Is it just consistently 3/4 people online at once, or? Since we may need to potentially organize to have a champion for whichever member of the group can't attend at the time of the match, just so we can progress to round three. (Obviously this'll need to be agreed on before action is taken, but it's starting to look like it may be required, here. Hopefully next round will have better timezone match-ups, I guess)

From my experience, the problem with my group is a combo of lack of effort and time zone incompatibility. I don't think I've seen more than one other person online simultaneously until 6 am this morning. The only effort to organize something originated with me, and I prodded the response. I had to work during the time that worked for the other 3, but I advocated for a champion if it worked for everyone else. I'm not sure what happened there.
