hi there... it seams that team Romania can't make it Sunday at all... we can have the match Saturday at 14.00 MA time, if that's OK with you.
Good news Akiran!
We had a meeting last night, well attended and agreed 3 of team and tactics.
However with Romania unable to make Sunday at 16.00 hours MA time I've been waiting to hear that those selected can make it for Saturday, 14.00 hours MA time.
Pretty sure they will be able to so I'll pm details to you now.

pm sent.
I thought Romania had until Midnight to decide a time, and not nearly 9 hours later when they finally posted?
i agree with mandy, the probably read our thread and decieded they had better chances at 14.00 on sat, how come they didnt confirm in the time frame.
Therefore I see no point for hostile accusations here.
There was nothing hostile about it chap. Focus on what is important, getting a team together and having some fun.
As I understand the rules it is up to both teams to agree a day and time and let Hurrikane know as soon as possible.
Don't let's get too hung up on this guys, the main thing is to put more points on our score and any team we put out should do a good job.
Mandy are you OK for Saturday, 14.00 hours MA time?
Think the rules stated that we must come to an agreement till thursday. You made a suggestion but we couldn`t reply cos we couldn`t get hold of more than 3 of our team members. For us you are the group winners, I don`t personally think we have any chances at 1st place in the group, we just want a shot at second place. One of our best members said he can`t make it on sunday, so this is why we came up with this suggestion. Therefore I see no point for hostile accusations here.
well chap, saying that we chose this time `n day cos of your unavailability sounds like an accusation to me. However if most of your team members can`t make it at that time feel free to suggest another time then. Guess we should compromise then.
Yes Eld, I do think you have a point and the comments made were inappropriate and disrespectful to you. I apologise on behalf of my team mates.
There is bound to be a delay between a time being offered and all members of the opposing team being contacted and agreeing on the time.
England too are now experiencing this same communication problem.
Mandy I know the time isn't ideal for you but in your first post you said you could make 14.00 MA time Saturday if necessary? It would be really helpful if you could confirm that?
We also need to know from Danny if Corby can make the new time but that could be later this evening I'm afraid.
Edit: Mandy calm down, this isn't the first match that has had these problems, let's be mature about this!
You should know by now that I always speak my mind, but I do so without deliberately trying to be rude.
As for being calm and mature, I was until your edited remark. Maybe I should just throw a tantrum and not play!
I don't recall another match where we had been able to agree a really strong team and strong support, and base our match tactics upon this, only to have it all turned on it's head by the late response of our opponents.
Mandy let me clarify the situation as I see it.
First of all you and Danny were out of order making your comments about rule breaking or time fixing in a public forum.
In my opinion the WoF matches should be carried out in a spirit of mutual respect towards one's opponent.
If you felt that a rule had been broken what you and Danny ought to have done was pm the captain and say what you thought about it. Akiran would then have discussed this with the Romanian captain and possibly Hurrikane.
You couldn't really blame Romania for feeling agrieved by this. After all I offered them the Sunday time at 16.00 hours UK time yesterday which I think is 7pm Romania time.
We can see how long it is taking us also to contact everyone?
In short I totally reject some conspiracy theory and for myself understand the difficulties associated with team membership communication and agreement on day/time.
Just because we had our team and plan all sorted last night doesn't mean we need to throw a wobbly and start blaming Romania for this.
Finally, in making a public issue out of this what day and time do you think our future opponents are going to go for (if you still believe that teams would try to spike us in this way rather than just get their best guys out)?
As a final thought before I go and try to cool off, I would like to suggest that we do not post any of our available times in this thread from here on (and that's all matches, not just this one), and we instead do so via pm to Akira and yourself.
First things first, me and Corby were both working on saturady, however, we have both now sorted out finishing early to make the event, if u still want, or need both of us?
Let me know tonight if u need me and corby or just corby?
My comments were outa order???? Like mandy, my coments where said as i see them, if thats not other peoples point of view, thats fine, but am i not entitled to an opinion ??
You talk about mutal respect of opponents, where was the respect in confirming a time so late in the day??? One of their better players could not make sunday??? So we roll over like a little lamb and bow to there demands??
