I am willing to reschedule if SinK and other tournament-goers are ok with it. In fact, I'd prefer to.
Hopefully we can work something out this weekend (though I can still play after ~5:30 PM EST/10:30 PM GMT today and tommorrow if you'd prefer). PM me or post here if you're up for it, SinK.

I'd be perfectly happy for the two of you to play at any time to your own convenience. It's not important to me at all to play the next round quickly

I am also not in the way.

In fact, if Koroviev ever wanted to play the second game, I am up for it anytime. I was awarded a default win. That, first of all, eats at your pride, and second of all, I'm only first place because of that win.
I think all games should be taken seriously and not skipped just because of convenience.

I felt that I should receive some sort of forfeit for repeatedly missing my match times purely because it wastes Monadology's. If Mona is unfussed then so am I.
I'll reschedule for some other time.

I want to start playing some slow games (45-60 min on the clock) but they are hard to come by. If you or anyone else wants to play a couple of games like that over the next few weeks that would be awesome.
