We just changed the time to 6. We can't satisfy everyone but well let's just wait and see how today goes.

It all depends on a lot. We used to have a UK branch, but we need a lot of UK Members to do something like that. The battles are moved up one hour. So hopefully, it will not effect to many people since its SUNDAY (and a lot of people have off on a SUNDAY)

Didn't we try a six o clock battle and everyone hated it? I agree though if you're changing the amount of games played.

i don't remember that. probably a long time ago. We have more members now, and More games are being played. So, it should end around the same time.

And from what I remember, these battles go past an hour. So he wouldn't be getting to bed till about 12/12:30am. And I'm just going to assume he has to get up pretty early for school, exams, etc. So it's a disadvantage to him.

yeah, but if you do em at 5:00 est, a lot of people will just be starting (or finishing) supper.

As much as we try to appease everyone, unfortunently in you situation, FC is mainly a North American community, and such our times are mostly molded for people over here. That being said, we'll see how this goes tonight and talk about this, we have had UK members in the past, we'll work with you as much as possible to get it workable.

Thats only 2PM for us :P

Don't worry, no one will be excluded from battles if we can help but, but Majority > Minority in most cases.

Cody said it perfectly. I am sorry, but unless for some reason the number of foreign members outweighs U.S. members then we will not be moving the time earlier.

Alot of people are just starting/ending supper at 7-8 PM EST in other timezones, which is one of the reasons we have a lot of people leaving FC because they are unable to be a part of the battles until the very end. I think moving it up even earlier would make it impossible to attend. I'm already having problems with the current change.

Keep in mind people this earlier time is to test out how it goes. 6pm EST is not set in stone.

There shouldn't be a problem with the 6pm battles, I mean they still run till the same time, and there is now MORE battles.
