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 23 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 18 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.

 

Negotiation Forum Sample: Player «A» vs Player «B»

Negotiation Forum Sample: Player «C» vs Player «D»

 

Guidelines for reaching the 3 time slot requirement:

 

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);

@polimorpho -- That's not it.

The first player to get in MUST make a 3 time slot offer following the 4 guidelines given in my introduction post.

The player second to get in  MUST accept one of the first player's time slot offers OR counter offer 3 time slots of his own.

Please fullfil your task.

Waiting a time slot offer....

@polimorpho -- Your two first time slots don't count towards for the minimum requirement. Please see guidelines #1 and #2 in my introduction post.

You can still keep your Monday time slots in the package but you need to add two other valid ones. Please correct.

Your comment about who should make the 3 initial time slot offers is interesting but not necessarily to the point. It has been decided that the first player to show up in the Negotiation Forum must talk first (meaning make a 3 time slot offer, not just saying «hi!»...) because we need to fasten the process. In the SLCA everything is about gaining time in order to play more games and to increase the probability that a game is played.
