"
HaxED I will be available at sometime around 5. I need to get some things done. Thanks for checking up."
There are two things wrong with this.
1. You said "
sometime around 5". You also said "I need to get some things done." It is very reasonable for me to assume that you won't be available right at 5, so you would likely message me when you've finished what you need to get done so we can play.
2. You never said that you will be on PS or Smogtours. Literally the only other message I had from you at this point was that you were gmt-4 and that you wanted to play on saturday. It is
extremely reasonable now for me to assume you will message me since I not only do not know when exactly you will be online, but we also haven't decided where we want to play. What if i wanted to play on pandora and was waiting there? Then it wouldn't be fair to you to claim that I was waiting for you, when we hadn't even decided where we were going to play.
That's not activity at all; that's bullshit. In this case PS main or smogtours are obviously the most likely candidates for where we would play, so its not as unreasonable as my example. However, any claim to activity by being on ps or smogtours has little substantial value compared to communicating to the person on smogon where you KNOW you can find them and there will be proof of this communication.
I have already established that an extension still likely won't let us get this done, and even if it does, it would inconvenience me very greatly because of your mistake. It would also be unfair to coinflip this game when this was largely your fault. Why should i accept a 50% chance to win because you screwed up and I was waiting for your contact and showing my activity? I don't understand who would search for someone on PS for almost an hour without even thinking about coming on smogon even once in that timeframe. This may suck for you, but your oversight of not communicating on smogon was a large one and firmly believe that I should be given an activity win in this situation.
