If you want to finish your battles for the sake of finishing your battles, I would suggest asking the powers at be to keep your thread open and move it to the Garden of Secrets or something after the scores have been laid down.
Although, I should probably ask said powers if such a thing would be possible.
That way, you can take your time and post at your own discretion.
I may not have had a good first round, but the time limit is there for a reason.
You have to keep in mind that there is such a thing as real life. It happens. It gets in the way sometimes. I can't think of a single person who has this tournament as their top priority. Deal with it. The waaaaaahmbulance can only carry so many passengers at once, you know.
