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.
I'm GMT -5, free on most afternoons / nights my time. I'm typically in the LC room on PS! so you can just find me there. What works best for you? I'll adapt to that.
I'm online for a little bit now, but if you can't make it within the hour then Friday should be alright! I know I have an interview my Friday afternoon, but I'll let you know when I'm concrete on that time.
