Pushing the BN start time back an hour.

I too, am not being a dick, but making a change that would likely negatively affect more people than it positively affects isn't worth it. There's what, 4/5 active EU players of about 40+ total active players right now? If the purely EU squads remained active, I'd give this more thought, but that's not the case. Like Spartan said most East Coasters are just getting off work at 5, and any West Coast players either simply cannot play battles due to the 3pm start (I believe we'd have a lot more activity if we started at a 'happier' medium between West and East Coast, but I'm fine with 3pm as it stands even though It's not ideal.), or they have to bank on early shifts (assuming they work weekends).

Is an hour earlier so harmful to you guys? Jeez.

Across the pond they start at 11 PM or Midnight. Next day is a school or work morning. That's a consistent thing, too. It's not "sometimes" or "possibly" it just is. 5 PM is no more harmful to me than 6 PM, and I doubt it has that much bigger of an impact on anyone else in North America.

Not trying to guilt the whole community into changing it, but "sometimes it's bad timing for me" is a bad reason to say no to "it's always bad timing for me because that's how the world works".

Jam we have moved it in the past and that is why I suggested testing it during the first one to two weeks of the up coming war. In my experience a good amount of people tend to show up late as it is with the current time. Yes some people just forget and show up late but in my experience most of the time it is because of a legit reason such as Family dinners (have a lot of under 18 members in the community) and work (Us 18+ and even those under 18 who have a job (good for them)). 3 PM in the middle of the day for us West Coasters isn't always ideal for us and earlier isn't much of an improvement. So this whole guilt trip you are pulling really isn't necessary. We try it and if it gets less numbers then before then we go back to the current time. If we don't try it so be it.

You do not sacrifice the ideal time of the majority for the wants of a very small minority.

Throw away all guilt or emotions, that is the bare bones of the situation.

We should just do North America vs UK wars. North America would always win the second map.

Yep.

Well. Fuck. I am one of the most active UK players in FC. The time difference takes a chunk out of me for monday's. FC is not ideal for European people at all.

FC is not ideal for European people at all.

It's not meant to be for Europeans really xD We're EST based. That's why the UK had their own wars way back when. There's no medium for UK and US to work together well.

Everything thing this man says is YES.

This has been brought up in the past, and declined multiple times. I would not mind seeing the battle night start time be pushed back an hour though, 7pm EST. If that were to be done, we would need to severely improve our setting up matches process.
