What timezone are you in, may I ask? I'm in GMT +11 right now.

Considering I have it in my user bar to the left, it is hardly a secret.

Just got online after a bit of downtime... Curious as to how that would that affect the total time available to any one person.

Let's say the game gen every day at 18:00. I get back home from work at 17:00. This leave me only one hour to complete my turn and send it, assuming I can start working on it right away.

The obvious solution is to work on my turn after 18:00. Which I might do most of the time... But we all know that RL have a way to get in the way of gaming, so it might not be possible sometimes.

Now, let's say another player know he wants to attack me. There is an history of when I submit, so he knows I always submit around 17:45-17:50. If everybody submit at once the game will auto gen, so he tries as much as possible to bring the gen time around that time and since the gen time always move backward anyways (because nobody submit at the very last second every single turn) then it will slowly continue to do so. So, war erupts and double my MM time.

If gen time move too close to when I get back to work and I happen not to be able to complete my turn fast enough before going to bed, I'm boned. I'll either need to rush my turn or forget about it.

Does that answer your question?
