So shik, a developer switched his nighttime setting to 8 pm pacific time (hes NA) to make any battle an early morning battle instead of prime-time NA, he did this for his own soon to be attacked army to get an extra 5-8 hours to be reinforced by allies and for the village defense to be at a horrible time slot.
Before this he took advantage of prior knowledge of Pale Horsemen being banned and had 1000 heavily armed army with over 100K in their fiefs the day they got banned for no valid reason being in their territory far from hero_party or chaos' lands and bought up all their S&D.
This thread is about 2 things - make more standardized nightimes based on where you live and make them longer so 12-15 hours in NA from 3 am CST to say 5pm CST so most people' work and sleep time is covered - maybe slightly later than some people want to stay up and maybe slightly earlier than some west coasters want to have a battle, but generally covering most of the majority's normal hours of work and sleep.
The second thing is that developers should be held to a standard of conduct, not immunity from abuse of game mechanics or prior knowledeg of what will be happening in strategus.
Please discuss. Thank you.
P.S. Please post other abuses of developers, i.e. accepting duplicated gear, banned players' fiefs and gold etc.
