sorry for double post, but I need to update you guys on the following:
(times mentioned all in GMT+1, my timezone)
Nido-rus first informed me that he wouldn't be able to play from the 2-8th Jan, so I replied that we should try getting it done before I left for a New Years party a little before 6pm that day. He never showed up before that time, as he misunderstood my shitty phrasing of "after dinner" as a little bit later than what I meant.
As I had already mentioned, this would be the most realistic time to play, since I would have a hangover today, which turned out to be the least of it. I woke up at 4pm to eat a bunch and then nap a lil longer. Therefore, unless he can play tomorrow before leaving, I think an extension would be the best solution.
