Smoke gets off work at 1700 Nova Scotia. Jade gets off work at 1500 in LA, examples of common work schedules and this is a 7 hour difference which is hardly supportive of an 8 hour window. When we look at all the different schedules people have in NA (hardly traditional), having a tiny window would be difficult and hardly fair.

I say we remove nighttime entirely.
This is a speculation)
90% of members of the clan can play in the window at 8h
intersection with at least 1 hour (1 battle per day)

Other games did it, [Shadowbane, Pirates of the Burning Sea, pretty much any competitive clan play FPS] and it promotes good fights for the VAST MAJORITY that live normal lives & schedules.  Letting people do shit in the middle of night and early morning doesnt promote fun play.  If you have a shitty schedule, tough shit.

the star ploblem is what in 1 night u can loose army 1-2 mounth cost. And its not fun.
If I could afford to lose the village at night to fight off her morning, I would have slept like a baby

Hes not even sleeping/working during his night time. How nice.

And?
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesparticipated#!?page=battledetail&id=1456

I got up for this battle even though I normally SLEEP during this time. So what if I got up for a big battle? My night time is usually set during the time this battle takes place, but I can't show up to earn XP if i want?

I am sure I can find many people who say the same. They get out of their routine(if they can) just to show for these big battles because they are fun.

So what? He wants to be there, he will be there. Even if it's his night time. People make allowances to be there for battles if they can. Doesn't stop the fact that night time doesn't mean that they are not there. It just means they aren't usually there.

If they're at work it means that they are not there. Not now, not ever.

Exploiting night time is shitty move, no doubt. It's valid tactics, but winning battle thanks to the change of night time - and preventing half of the UIF from participating in battle - is just meh. How many DRZ guys was there? 3? But battle was funny  :wink:

what if they work from home? :P
not allowed! Ban!

The question is NOT the nighttime itself. The issue here is why DRZ whines about a Grey attack ?
Do DRZ control Greys now to ?

Hahahaha BUSTED !!!

Because i already apologized to Harpag about the cirumstances, which but DRZ perhaps didn't know. Harpag also accepted my apology. Harpag feel free to share our communication about this with Vovka.

To all others, i am sorry for this and it shouldn't happen again.

@Nightime/Primetime
I and others already made suggestions how to make a better system, it had been also been confirmed to some extent that changes would be thinkable in several ways. So lets just hope these changes come sooner then later and we could test a then perhaps friendlier system for people who also want to enjoy life beyond Strategus.
learn from the past, live the moment, dream of the future
