Great job, Jinx! Only there is a setback as you have generalized my words:
1. I can play tomorrow at 7pm fire time zone. As one may see from my previous posts then i refer to his time to avoid confusion with different time zones.
2. I wrote to you only about Wednesday and weekend. I never mentioned Thursday, Friday and 7pm - i simply will be back late those two days and i assume that fire won't be playable.
To sum up (fire time):
Wednesday 7pm-11pm
Saturday 6pm-10pm
Sunday 5pm-9/10pm
Anyway, it's quite visible that with the involvement of Jinxer the process is advancing  Ofc, misunderstanding with times is disappointing but it's still a great deal better than before.

Ok as you wish.. And yes you are right.. I did Assume that if you can start at 7:00pm evening that you could every evening. You have the most unstable hours at your work then any I have ever seen 
Most people work 8-5 Mon-Fri.  Anyways.. We will go with these times then.
****UPDATE****
They met and played today, and managed to play approx 4 turns. So according to Fire the game is currently at Week 2 Day 3.
Next meeting is scheduled for Saturday 7:00pm Strider time. 6:00pm Fire Time

Yeah... when i was about to perceive the session as cancelled, fire showed up after half an hour. Better late than never. However, we managed to finish only 3 turns. First there were 2 d/c described by opponent as "error code". And next turn fire broke his longevity record with exactly 50 min performance (25 min for me) 
The good news though - despite all the problems we are slowly but surely advancing

Now that we have an ARBITOR ( Me ) Lets quit posting about opponents disconnecting and being late etc etc. We have established that BOTH of you have been late at times, and BOTH of you have had disconnects.. so further bashing is pointless.. All complaints of such things need to be sent to me the ARBITOR and I will keep a running record and summary of all complaints and problems.
Lets focus on whats important... the fact that we are making progress and moving in right direction, even tho its slow.. its still better then nothing.

Maybe fire can post some - after all, his total turn length has long since surpassed mine Yesterday he repeated his 50 min record and finished only 2 turns faster than me. I'm sure that time has been invested in miraculous replays

Well, the 1st game is done and now i also have a registered game on Dark Realm. The map is interesting and full of action. Thx, Jinx Now, it's time to move to different settings and new potential for creativeness as suited for the Final.
Speaking about next game in The Caesars, Ves, could you please pick a map for the 2nd round? We would appreciate if you employed the same criteria as before - reasonably large, either mutually unknown of mutually familiar map.
I asked fire for ideas but was met with swearing. To avoid wasted time in fruitless discussions, i turn to your ruling right away. As i understand then there are some new maps on the market.
Thx in advance for timely decision, Ves
P.s. Maybe we might return to Dark Realm again for round 4 or 5...
P.p.s. Perhaps TOH community might come up with suggestions. I noticed thread about new Insa's map etc.

The easiest solution would indeed be to play boomerang, I've heard good words from those that played it. However I cannot comment on the balance.

Hmmm... who is to say that a different map is needed for each round..
The map DarkRealm was chosen by Ves, that should be the map used the entire Final! Not to mention you guys have already shown that it takes forever to complete a game, wecannot afford to have more downtime while Strider spends weeks Learning a new map.
DarkRealm is Fresh in your minds, and since both will get all new towns, it will be a much differnt experience. Plus each game will ne nice to see how each of you guys improve on the map, and make strategy adjustments etc...
So My recommendation would be to keep things as Ves ordered for all the FInal games.
** Just talked to FireDragon and he agrees. And he says he is READY to start Game 2 Monday.. soon as Strider agrees to a time.
My arbitor Job is not over, so I will keep on them!

Hmm, the whole discussion in summer regarding maps for the Final was focused on how to offer fair map for each round and not 1 map to be used throughout the series. Browse through the thread.
Don't worry about learning time. I can start the next game as soon as Wednesday regardless of the (fair) map. For the next 2 days i'm away.
Jinx, don't worry - we might play your map again in latter rounds Also, you couldn't possibly compare innovation level of replaying the same map versus new one
Anyway, it's up to Ves. Maybe this Boomerang map is good choice if it doesn't end on 2nd week. Insa, any comments on timeframe? That would be a very swift and efficient decision - new to both players, different settings, full throttle of creativeness rather than optimization of old routes

Well Strider, the only thing I do notice about you.. is you seem to want to control every aspect of this Ceasar thing.. like dictating that map will change and then before its been decided you move right into asking about boomerang details as if it will be so just cause you requested it... and also.. you seem to dictate the meeting times also.. Fire says a time you say no we meet this time.
Maybe you should take a step back and see this. Then you will understand why FireDragon is so frustrated. I am not even playing Ceasars with you, and I can tell you I am frustrated with your attitude and your controling nature.
And for the record.. I could careless if you play my maps or not.. I dont care what maps you guys play.. I have nothing to gain or lose from what ever is decided.
** Edit**
Also the more I think about it.. with your crazy schedule Strider, you are out of town more then you are in town.. and have business trips every 3 days.. have you done the math on how long it will take to complete 4 more games??? With average of 2-3 times played per week and 3 turns per meeting.. That makes for average of 1 MONTH at minimum to complete each game.. and thats assuming that you stay consistant with 2-3 meetings per week. So thats means atleast another 4 months of drawing this ceasar thing out.
So my suggestion.. is to stick with the same map.. that you both are well familiar with so your TURN length will get shorter each game since you will know the map better and better... with each new map you guys learn your 1hour+ turn lengths will be needed cause you are learning the map as you go and planning from turn to turn instead of already being familar with what your overall strategy of how to play the map is.
Again there just suggestions.. but another 4-5 months dragging this tourny out is just silly.
BTW.. Congrats on Winning Game #1 Strider.

Dear arbiter, don't exaggerate For instance, we played 4 times last week and 2 of them comprised an in-game week each. So it's not that bad, right?
Seems that Boomerang with week 2 rush is not a proper map for our purpose eh Btw, i remember that our map master Fiur invested time and specially upgraded Giants for the purpose of the Caesars. And it corresponds to the criteria... What do you think? Guys, any more ideas (i'm sure there are several new maps out there)?
