As long as there's a decent premise to bring characters together initially (either everyone or in smaller groups), then I'm perfectly happy for things to kick off properly on Wednesday :)

My character would be less inclined towards scrapping from the outset (before there's a reason), but I'd be happy with some form of casual battle if people's characters are leaning in that direction - perhaps some form of festival or other public event if you don't want to tip your hand before Wednesday?
