Why no Saturdays?

Why must ROOT games be played M-F when it's hard to synch up schedules with no availability on Saturdays when people tend to have flexibility?
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Statements end with a period if you're serious or a question mark if you're a sarcastic git.

Its more of a question because they don't have to be played on M-F as far as I know (and I run the thing), so I was wondering where you got the idea.  But go ahead, keep assuming the worst of everyone as always.

Maybe not in principal, but in practice. I got the idea from three weeks of looking at the schedule and being glad that I had more than the usual amount of free time.

There is a difference between assuming the worst and being familiar with a pattern. Although you are right, I should have said "being a sarcastic git" rather than "are a sarcastic git."

Its funny that you say you are recognizing a pattern, because the only person I've notice a pattern of being unnecessarily and randomly hostile is you.

Weeks of ROOT go for at least 7 full days every week, and I'm always willing to listen if someone needs a short extension.  It is literally impossible for there not to be a Saturday and Sunday within a week of ROOT.

If the pairings are posted on a Friday, or even a Thursday in many cases, that does effectively rule out the Saturday as there is not enough time after the pairings are known to make a plan for when to meet up and/or it is so close to the day that it is likely already booked up.

I went about this all the wrong way and I'll work backwards. I should have apologized right-off when I realized I was wrong instead of trying to get away with a justification masquerading as a pseudo-apology. Pride doesn't quit easy. I shouldn't have let the irony of accusing someone else of assuming the worst "as always" justify my undue levity. The only people I know personally who use the sentence structure of a statement with a question mark or starting one with "implying" are the worst, most hateful, snide, puffy, self-loathing people I know and I need to give the benefit of the doubt to people I don't know personally who employ that syntax. I set the tone for lack of respect by not taking adequate time to explain what's in the first paragraph of this post right off, and by not accounting for my own emotional baggage in that I signed up to get to play people other than Karius and Red and ended up with a bye, a ghost (NO HARD FEELINGS TO JOSIAH), one game with someone else and Karius.

What I really mean to say is, what can I do to help get ROOT on a regular schedule?

Fair enough.  I can start ROOT weeks on Mondays if that will help with people's schedules.

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?
