Kirian's bracket semi-final scheduling

Thought I'd make a thread here to help with scheduling when to play our 4 player games.

It looks like it'll be me, O, Rising Jaguar, and ninjabus(unless BJ Penn goes 7-0 to tie) that advance to the semi-finals.

Post your available times here and I hope we can find a good time to play all 5 games.

...Where does it say there not to organize in another thread?

I'm unfortunately (not really  :P) gone camping this weekend. I'd like to possibly complete the games by my graduation week- june 4th

Where do I say not to organize here?
Seriously, I don't have a problem at all with you organizing here (though I can imagine that one of your fellow competitors *might*). But uh, you've got some crucial information in there and let's just say I'd hate if somebody missed it.

Meanwhile, in the Please Read thread:

Final Winners by group:

Eastern:  Rising Jaguar
Central*:  Ninjabus
Mountain:  Coheed
Pacific:  O

Just sayin'.

Okay so, it's definitely me, O, Rising Jaguar, and ninjabus in the semi-finals. 4 posts later, let's organize when we can play.

I'm available to play at almost any time but need some notice since I share a laptop with my gf.

I am better on the weekends and would prefer it to be mid-day (so 12-5? somewhere there).  With that said, I will try to be as flexible as possible. 

As for rules, PLEASE lets use point tracker.  I rather not use all my brain power keeping track of 4 people's scores.  Veto mode or not I'm indifferent on.  I prefer identical hands to be fair but meh.

I'm free all weekend, want to schedule it for an afternoon?

I'm worried about veto mode with 4 people, we'll end up with some nerfed boards like that. How about we go for all random, and each player gets 1 veto on the random set throughout the match?

Couldn't vetoing a whole set be used by players in 3rd or 4th position to try and get into 1st position? In the first game when it's all random whoever is 4th could veto to get a better position and after the first game whoever is in 3rd could veto to try and get a better position. (Whoever won the last game would be last no matter what from that point on.) In fact given how multiplayer amplifies the disadvantage of the last player wouldn't this be the best reason to veto a Kingdom regardless of the cards on the board? Seems like a waste of time that would encourage gaming of the isotropic matchup system.

If turn order could be preserved it would be one thing, but since it can't...

From a competitive standpoint, I would just say no to letting anyone veto a kingdom.

As we can see, there are some scheduling problems at the moment.  Is there a particular deadline aside from ASAP?  Hopefully that will encourage people (especially me) to buckle down and set up a time. 

Yeah I think the veto-ing kingdoms would be too messy and have suggested just random.

Ideally, the deadline should be Sunday, i.e., a week after the lists were posted, but obviously that won't work for O.  Gah.  Be done by next Sunday, the 3rd.

No 4-player matches.  Ever again.  SO many problems...
