I thought the rounds wouldn’t open before EOR anymore? This is hella confusing

[I_like_pie]

The recent plan was to always open before EoR, so that players can start playing on the 1st of the month.

This way a round is exactly 1 month long.

I’m pretty sure there was a discussion somewhere that this also means we would need to do preparations for the new round, while still being in the previous one. If you’re in an eor war that is really messed up.

I for one would like some time between the rounds. Maybe 2 or 3 days or so.

@I_like_pie - Andro 45 started on April 3rd, I will look for it later, but I believe this was exactly for the reasons mentioned above.

It is better in my opinion to have 2-3 days between rounds… I think, as I have said to you before Pie , that it would be best to start on 1st for 28 days, then have the remainder of the month as the inter-round… people can debrief, dewind and then get organized for the next round

@I_like_pie here is the round scheduling suggestion of @You_Fool and myself:

Might be better as a post in #ideas @Hala

[I_like_pie]

Yeah thanks guys. I know it’s annoying to ask for it here but it helps out a ton with visibility and planning. I really appreciate it.

@Hala

Andro 45 started on April 3rd, I will look for it later, but I believe this was exactly for the reasons mentioned above.

On this point, Android 45 started late because I goofed the schedule and started the planning thread late. You can see the dates posted here.

If it happened to work out better it was by accident, not a result of any permanent change in the scheduling approach.

The andro 46 plan is consistent with our existing approach. If we want to change it we can, but it isn’t currently being done any differently than has been the case for awhile now.

Round Length, start and end dates

Idea by @You_Fool and myself. The current set-up is to join the next round while the current round is still under way, and the round starts within a day of the former round ending. To create a bit of a breathing break in between the rounds, and have some time to align people in the families, set up starting strategy and role structure etc. We have the following suggestion: Start the round on the 1st of every month. End the round 2 days before the last day of the month. This would mean round…

Lol, aren’t we playing with the same people round after round basically?? Unless you are trying someu new.

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Down to 30 players, who could have seen that coming?

[TheBigOne]
