Next round start date
There is a growing majority of PA Players who are University Students and most Universitys have exams from Mid-January to end of January. Would it be possible therefore for the next round to start at the beginning of February? This would also mean that more extensive Beta testing can be done to make sure everything works and would lead to a couple of Speedgame dates for non-University students.

we won't really be needing much beta testing for next round... (more info soon honest )
but i'm sure we can be flexible with the start date, and we do have plans for some speed games..

Re: Next round start date
heh my point was. it's silly if you want to try and work around holidays for some people and examtimes for some etc etc etc... other people have them at other times... will you change roundtimes then? No. So all in all it's kinda silly to even look at such times tbh just play when it's planned and if you miss a week or so due to exams.... you'll survive.

Re: Next round start date
I agree, however I expect we will probably not be starting ticks until early Feb, though i'd expect signups to be open in Jan - note this will not be a normal round

Re: Next round start date
i have mine around mid of february .... cypher is completly right - either you live with it or you dont play. This way it will hurt anyone randomly from time to time and not especially taking care of english habits because thats where the creators get the most information about.
so sorry smudge ;D we will all stay in the same boat

Humpf, i have end-of-semester exams next week. I dont see the round being paused for me!
Its the same issue with the timezones - everywhere in the world is different, and so any considerations made for any one group is at the detriment of other (and/or all other) groups. Also, if you made the game pause for everyone's exams (Mid semester, end of semester *2 per year, then school exams and university entrance exams etc etc) then there will only be a certain level of time that no-one is having exams to actually play in.
Its another Euro Conspiracy!!

Re: Next round start date
Tbh the round should start as soon as is humanly possible.
If some people would rather sit exams than stick to their tick plans it just shows their not commited enough

Re: Next round start date
Now, can the other 2000 players please say what time suits them? Maybe there's an hour or two where no one is busy?

Re: Next round start date
I can confirm that the next round will indeed have a start date, and that it will be before February and that it will greatly interest people.

Re: Next round start date
Would help attracting new players to the game and achieve your goal of twice as many players... With speedgames you won't get a lot of new players I think... it's already hard enough to get the hang of the game without ticks every 10m.

Re: Next round start date
You can't honestly expect to ask the start time to be arranged around people's engagements, just use the vaction mode
ah simple!
