As far as I'm aware there is no rule stating I should've contacted him earlier in order to get an extension. R3 went up on the 16th, and I had exams on Saturday and Sunday (16th and 17th). I contacted Sam as soon as I had some free time, which was on the 18th. I traveled on the 20th and, like I said before, maybe I could've tried something if he told me when he'd be available to play, but he really didn't give me anything to work with (in fact he ignored me). If you need reasons for me to get an extension, here they are:
     * Sam showed no interest in playing whatsoever, he just said he wasn't available and nothing else;
     * If he had told me when he'd be free maybe there was a chance I could play with airport internet or even random Wi-Fi networks in Labadee / Jamaica;
     * I contacted him as soon as I could and there is no rule regarding when I should've done it in order to get an extension, which means this point isn't convincing enough in order to give him an activity win like that. I also don't get how he was more active than me when I was available for one entire day (2:00 pm until 4:00 am my time), while he wasn't available during the entire round! If he didn't contact me once except when he said he was unavailable then that's all I can assume, sorry.

I just don't see why he can't make an effort to get this done and play against me before this round ends (Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday). I'm sorry but I still find this decision unacceptable, so I'm asking you to reconsider.
