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.
Hey, I'm GMT-4. Thursday is tough for me because it's during my work hours, but my schedule is lighter on Friday so I could play sometime between 7pm and 10pm your time? If not we can aim for next week
Hey, so sorry man, but something has come up for me last minute tomorrow. Is there any chance you can do earlier than 9pm your time? If not, could we try for next week? Again apologies for the short notice.
Ah ok, sounds good! Pretty busy with work Monday / Tuesday, should only be able to play from 6pm my time on (basically, midnight your time). I free up a bit Friday (can play in your afternoon/evening), can also play Saturday in your afternoon or Sunday.
