Live Speed Press Games

I am considering hosting live, 5 minute phase/2 minute build full press games, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in that?
If the games don't take a horrendously long time, I may consider making it a regular thing, every couple of weeks or so.
Would anyone be available on Monday Aug. 28 at around 3:00 PM MST? I will open the game at 2:00 PM and let people join for an hour.
P.S. This may or may not actually happen. I'm not sure exactly what my availability is right now.

I have actually scheduled a game for 5:00 PM MST today, so that will start in 2 hours if anyone wants to join that.

Come on everyone! The game is unranked so there's no risk in it!

Well that was a complete failure.

I think it was perhaps not the best time of day for most people - middle of the night for Europe, evening meal time (or approaching) for US people, Monday morning in Australia.

True, but then again, is there ever a good time?

Maybe 9pm Saturday evening UK time = 10pm for continental Europe, noon in Brazil, 1pm - 4pm across N. America. Only the truly dedicated in Australia would be available at 6am on Sunday though...

Wow, this has ended up being a real hassle.
Now it's scheduled for Sept. 4th 1:20 PM MST, because I had to remake the game.

I am most likely going to be joined by someone I know outside of the game. We do not plan on using this to our advantage, but if you're not Ok with that, don't join.

I won't be able to join for the scheduled game, but I'd definitely be interested in speed games if this manages to become a regular thing.

I'm interested sporadically, but not unranked.

I understand that. I was planning on sort of an introductory first game, just so I could get used to it, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to ranked games.

This Discord server was set up to run Blitz Press games, which are very similar to what you're looking for:
https://discord.gg/CCAdWu47W2
It's been a bit inactive, but there are 200ish people there who are interested in these kind of games, so it's a good place to look.

Thanks! I'll have to look into it.

Actually, don't use that link, it was scheduled for the wrong time. Just post if you would like to join, I will have to wait before I can actually post the game.

Nevermind, here's the new link. It is now scheduled for 1:10 PM MST on the same day.

If a developer sees this, I'd like to request a game scheduling feature, so that I don't have to have perfect timing when I start a game
