Start of Next Round
I have another poll for everyone, I have been thinking about when to start the next round. It has been a friday for a while, but that might not suit everyone.
I was thinking perhaps sunday night might be better because everyone is almost guaranteed to be home.
Please could you vote on what your ideal start day would be for a round.
Obviously it will be the evening, it's just the day that I would like to vote on.

Re: Start of Next Round
The idea of fridays is/was that people can start off with their research and constructions during their free days (the weekend). That way everybody (or most, as some people work weekends) has a fair start.
If you would change the start to a sunday, as you suggest, people aren't always able to get online to start a new res/con item. Whch will place them behind on everybody else.
However, since you can now queue your research/constructions. The question you ask is a fair one.
Just my toughts about this idea.

Re: Start of Next Round
No one day is going to suit "everyone". Friday is the best fit for the majority, so I wouldn't recommend changing it.

Re: Start of Next Round
I've actually noticed a lack of participation on weekends than during week days, not sure why that is (everyother game gets a rise during weekend days).

Re: Start of Next Round
Personally, Friday night starts are very bad for me, so it's nice to see this being opened up.

I take issue with this detail though: The evening the round starts has very little impact, there's very little to do so it doesn't really matter if you miss that first night (missing a whole 24 hours is a bigger issue).
However, as has been suggested multiple times in the past, it'd be nice to have the first few ticks running faster. Say 30min ticks for the first 24-48 hours. (I'll leave the details to the statisticians and mathematicians out there.) This would make the first night a bit more of an "event", and get the action going a bit sooner.
It'd be nice if it could be made so that the period of fast ticks applied to every new planet whenever they sign up but I can foresee this being more complicated to implement.

Re: Start of Next Round
I'd take a look at this thread before committing to anything Pete. Will take some coding, but will also keep most people from gouging their eyes out at the thought of sitting around all weekend, clicking a button once every hour.
I'm also agreeing with what posi mentioned; there;s not a "never" option in there anywhere

Re: Start of Next Round
It smells of "fix something that's not broken".
I understand the need for the new team to show they're doing things differently, but why not trying to fix the serious issues such as 'team up bashing' which has become the rule to attack big or small planets.

Re: Start of Next Round
i had completely forgotten about that suggestion. nice dig up cochese
voted for monday just because i feel like a lot of people go out partying on the weekends. friday starts usually leave me with no sleep over the weekend while i init, which might end up better than not being able to sleep during the week - but a change could be nice!

Re: Start of Next Round
ive always thought how friday is the best solution.. aint normal ppl usually out that time? younger ones partying, tad older ones spending weekends off with family? i personally usually miss hell of a ticks cos of this friday thingy and cos of being away from home as much as possible and try to enjoy the free time from work :P
Imo monday is the best solution :P start of the week, ppl are around even if they are at work, etc.. also droxie brought out that now we got an option to queue the con and save the research, so its only about initiating roids
edit: ppl have diffrent commitments, etc. ofc.. so i must agree theres not a perfect time for all the players, that was just my own thought

Re: Start of Next Round
I have been annoyed for years that they for some reason hate us drunkards, and wish to give us a shitty saturday night out with inniting roids on phone while drunk.
Plz start it on sunday / monday / tuesday / wednesday

Re: Start of Next Round
I prefer Friday, as I dont work on weekends it gives me the chance to get my inital research going without missing any ticks.

Re: Start of Next Round
Why do you guys care about initing your precious roids so much? It counts for jack shit. Better waste your time at work doing it (or don't waste time at all) than waste a weekend initing!

Totally agreed! And when you have to work in between on saturday or play sports sunday it sucks even more! I'd say change the day it starts, upcomming round sunday, next one friday, etc...
