We have both been active on forums and making noteworthy attempts to schedule and get the match done. When the round was posted, we scheduled for Wednesday, but I had a 2 hour meeting that evening and something came up for him which prevented him from playing Wednesday, so I didn't see him on (he did warn me in advance that he couldn't make it, so nobody at fault here). On Tuesday, I only saw him on IRC briefly and it was right before he had to go, so nothing either of us could do again. Monday night I was busy for the most part whole Thursday night he was busy. This weekend I have my sister's bat mitzvah, preventing me from battling for most of this evening and all of tomorrow afternoon while he can only play before the evening tomorrow. On Sunday, I'll still have family over, but they should leave by late afternoon, leaving me a window late Sunday where I think he will be on at some point, but we may see each other after the European deadline, which is why I would like a small extension if need be.
TL;DR: We are both active and trying to get it done, but our activities clash, especially this weekend, and he had a busy Monday-Friday, so a couple hour extension would be appreciated (just keep the round 1 thread unlocked until you wake up Monday or something)
