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 9 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 OR to accept one of the other player's time slot offer is Wednesday, December 4 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 «Tracking Comment» box here in order to be kept up to date about the status of your negotiation. With the same idea, please set your e-mail alerts 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.

Sorry, I can't do that, I didn't notice the GMT, thought it was eastern time.  Let me do some conversions.

C1 PrivatePyle99 galacticknight to happen on 3/12 @ 16:00GMT. Don't forget to friend the other player in order to ease finding on the LIVE server.

Please stick to your commitment, show up on time for the game and have a good one!

 

@PrivatePyle -- Ok, let me explain something about the negotiation process.

The first player to show up MUST make a 3 time slot offer to play. The second player to show up MUST either accept one of the time slots the first player has offered OR counter offer 3 time slots of his own. What it means is that here, for example, you should have offered 2 more time slots. The reason is that we need to accelerate the negotiation process. Thus, in case your opponent couldn't accept your «Tuesday @ 16:00GMT», he would have had something else to bite on. Whereas in our current situation here, if the other player would have not been able to accept «Tuesday @ 16:00GMT»,  we would have lost precious time. Got the idea?

Here's what make a time slot valid towards our 3 time slot thing, BTW:

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);

 

For more, see The Rules

I never made a counter offer, I accepted one of his original times.  I just got confused with the switch to GMT.
