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.
Hey Taskr, I'm at -5 GMT (eastern US). So it'll probably work best to get games in during your afternoons/ evenings. I'm usually on from around 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. my time (which I think is between 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. for you?)
