I MIGHT be interested.
I've already added JN and Nester so there's no need to re-register. I'm too lazy to calculate time, so... Can I know the time in GMT+8? (HK does not observe dalight saving)
I might not be available because my sister has almost the exclusive right to use the TV when she's present. Unless I'm already using it before she arrives home.

I wasn't available last time. How about next Satur-Sunday? I hope we form a group of 4 next time! I'm in. What time? |

I wasn't available last time. How about next Satur-Sunday? I hope we form a group of 4 next time! I'm in. What time? I propose the same hour as before, but if anyone prefers later or earlier, then tell us. 10 p.m. EDT
9 p.m. Central Time
8 p.m. Guatemalan time / Costa Rican time (Central Time without DST)
7 p.m. PDT
^ Are you sure that corresponds to 2 a.m. GMT? I was going to convert that to Netherlands and Hong Kong time but I'm confused x-D |

Your signature - "Time zone: GMT -6:00 (DST doesn't apply)"
And I'm in GMT+8. Which means I'm 14 hours ahead of you.
Which means I'll have to play in the morning if I join.

Yeah, my logic was just lacking. So I guess it goes like this:
~ Sunday 02:00 (GMT) ~
Sunday 10:00 Hong Kong
Sunday 04:00 Netherlands
Saturday 22:00 EDT
Saturday 21:00 CDT
Saturday 20:00 Guatemala / Costa Rica
Saturday 19:00 PDT
Is that fine, or maybe later?

I'll probably be fine. I'll have to take an exam on Sunday 14:00. Taking 2 hours for transportation, I can have 2 hours of playtime maximum. (Forget about studying; those'll be done earlier than that! Plus I need relaxation before exam, no? =P)
If I can take over the TV at that time, I'll join. Once again, I'm inter-registered with JN and Nester, so there'll be no problem on that.
EDIT - I don't know about your exact usage of IM, but if you use Windows Live Messenger, I strongly suggest any potential players to add me (kq4424@hkbn.net - this is NOT my email address). It'll make scheduling much easier.

...You're SO broken, Johans. Playing THAT good, in such a lag. =D
Johans>Nester>YL. I think.
HISTORICAL MOMENT!!!!! JOHANS GOT THE 3RD!!!
...Yeah. He's SO good that him getting the last place is worth some celebration!
To Johans: I have to leave as soon as it hits 12 on the clock. Gotta take the exam.

About 4 of the matches were actually played by my younger bro because I was busy. I'm back at the time of this post, though  |

It's been a great match, but I gotta go. Will talk about what I think later. Great match, in overall. =D
EDIT - Did a little statistics. Counting all matches I played with Nester OR Johans, we did 30 matches.
↑If you don't know it already, that's an inclusive OR, not XOR.
I'll upload 5 most watchworthy vids (I think) in bin format. My top fav will probably be YouTube'd too.
A few things I learned from today's matches:
- Fans. They do minimal damage, but they're SO broken.
- Snake. This guy... well, what do you think bringing modern weaponry to a sword fight is like?
I shall publish these vids tonight (my time). Approx 6 hours later.
Finally, quote from Nester:
RADICAL!

Ah, sorry for the late publication. Replay files here. I saved 29 out of 30 matches (pressed A too quickly after one match), but here are 5 most impressive ones in my opinion. wario.memebot.com/Replays.zipSecond Appointed Online Brawl of Nintendo Database Forum Members 23/24 May, 2009 GMT 02:20 - Nester started looking for members. YL joined. GMT 02:50 - Johans' bro joined GMT 03:10 - Johans joined GMT 03:40 - Nester left GMT 03:50 - Johans' bro (or as I believe) joined as a separate player GMT 04:10 - YL left; online meeting ended with lots of fun! A little thought of the match: - That smacking fan! I always overlook this item because of its minor damage. Nester taught me a good lesson today: it traps people! - Snake is so broken. As is anyone under Johans' bro's control. - Power of players (or so I think): Johans' bro > Johans > Nester > me - If you play as some heavy characters, like Bowser or Dedede, you can almost guarantee that your life is over. Unless you face my Luigi. - Lag means people unfamiliar with online battles (like me) will be at an adverse position. - I play a good Ike, much to my surprise. Oh, and taunt messages can form some pretty funny situations. See the zip file over there. (File subject to removal; I may replace it when I get a second chance to play online) And, finally, my favourite match, in uToob-FLV format. YL = Luigi, Nester = 2P Marth, Johans = 3P Marth |

Yeah, good game, guys. Heh, personally, I thought I was the weakest player. I'm not that great anyway, but once Johans joined, the lag was so bad that I felt like I didn't really have much control. And sorry about the fan. I don't usually bother with it much, either, but I saw it being used on one of Nintendo's tutorial videos and decided it was a good cheap way of racking up damage.  Maybe we should disable it next time. |

It's weird, I didn't perceive so much lag (not the kind that makes PK Thunder impossible to perform). jigglysama, on the other hand... I don't get how can the guy be so good; the lag with him has been definitely worse than last night's. And I'm sure Nester beat me several times when we played one year ago while my connection wasn't this good. And yeah, maybe we should try earlier/later next time so that 8bit or UK people can join. I don't mind the fan as long as the victim's percentage is lower than the sudden death default percentage. But I guess it annoys most people |

Ah. I'm fine with the annoying fan. Smacking is actually kind of fun. Just don't overdo it. (The game seems to disagree by giving us tons of those though)
If I am to join another game, Nester, or whoever will host the game, can you please let me play a Stock match or two? I prefer that over Time. Both have advantages and disadvantages, so I'd say a mix of 'em will be good. (I personally play only Stock when I'm alone or playing local multiplayer.)
And Johans - or, all NinDBers except Nester, Savage Adam and Swedishdolphin - have not added me in, since my friend list say all those people are "waiting for registration". Can Johans check this out?
And unfortunately, both of your signal are red to me. I'll try tweaking around with my router next time. I suspect it's my problem, since my connection to other services like Nintendo Channel is only semi-perfect.
I'm usually fine just as long as it's weekend - preferrably morning so that my sis is still sleeping. 12 hours later and my sis will take over the TV (or not, depending on whether she's got activities to do). I do agree on the "let UK people have a chanc to play" part though.
