Hi. Just saying, I re-read my last post and I came across as overly hostile, I didn't mean to and I certainly wasn't even remotely angry while writing that. Hope you weren't offended or anything.
Anyway, I digress. I didn't get back to you simply because I didn't have any new information. The timespan you gave us to work with was basically any weekday except Friday, which sucks as Friday is pretty much the only weekday we consistently have players online. As I said, we'll keep working on establishing a date, and in a way your post was good as it might give my clanmates a bit more of a nudge to start playing than I'm currently giving them. It's also worth noting that several of our members both study and live at their universities so are generally unavailable to play at all (for example Mystered can only ever play Friday nights/weekends/holidays with no exceptions). As an example, I'm able to play in the evenings since I'm at sixth form, but when I go to uni next year I won't want to play AC half as much, and I'm sure it's the same for most people. Having a job is different since the hours you work are generally similar to the hours that one would study - whereas university hours are more flexible and the university culture generally advocates spending all your free time partying rather than playing a free FPS game. This is simply all I'm saying, a lot of our players are severely disengaged from the game, and in order for us to have the best chance of being able to play you, it will need to be at the weekend.
You're right when you say that every team wants to put their best lineup, but in order for you to be able to do that you're essentially making it incredibly different for us to be able to find three players to play at the same time, let alone for us to put our top lineup (this would be difficult for us even if you allocated us a weekend slot), so I don't really consider that argument valid.
We don't want to be awkward, so we're trying to organize a time to fit around your schedule. Maybe you didn't know that it was difficult for us before when you wrote your OP, but the dates you've given us restrict us incredibly tightly and we generally just can't promise you a specific time within the times you've allocated, so we'll need more time. We're genuinely not being awkward, it is just honestly taking us this long to find three players who are available on the weekdays, since the majority of our team play sporadically rather than at set dates.
About TS3: whenever my PC is on I idle there, you can just message me or something and I'll get back to you whenever I see it next. Thanks (:
