This is where the players agree on a common suitable time slot to play the game. The game is to be played before Monday, December 16 of 2013 @ 00:00GMT. The players must use GMT in their conversation even if they both live in the same time zone. Here is a link to our Time Zone Converter. The deadline to offer three (3) time slots for the game without penalty OR to accept one of the other player's time slot offer without penalty is Wednesday, December 11 of 2013 @ 4:00GMT. It's certainly not a bad idea that the uninitiated player reads the Negotiation Samples below, as negotiating with the opponent must be done as shown. Also, see «The Rules» for more information on this topic. It is crucial that you check the «Track this forum topic» box here in order to be kept up to date about the status of your negotiation. With the same idea, please set your alerts inside this group accordingly. Note that the players are responsible to answer quickly when a new development occurs here. Please use the 24 hour clock format when discussing about a common suitable time slot for your game.

@Rbeckert -- That's not it. We need to fasten the negotiation process if we're to play the game. Here's how it works.

The first player (you!) tou show up MUST make a 3 time slot offer following these guidelines:

1.        A time slot to play before Tuesday @ 12:00 GMT does not count towards the three (3) time slots requirement;

2.        There must be at least 24 hours between posting time and playing time for a time slot to count towards the three (3) time slot requirement;

3.        There must be at least three (3) hours between each of the time slots;

4.        The maximum number of time slots for the same playing day is two (2);

Then the second player to show up MUST either accept one of the other player's time slot offers OR counter offer 3 time slots of his own, always following the above guidelines. The idea is that we can come up with a potential of 6 time slot offers to begin with. This increases dramatically the chances that a game is played. Time is always critical! See The Rules for more on this topic. Thanks for showing up early.

Please correct.
