Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Do have a bit of time this evening (GMT -5 here), although my ideal time would be at some point after 4pm EST on Thursday. Would also be available earlier on Friday (10am-5pm EST most likely) and just about all of Saturday.
