GST Time
 

The GST is 4pm EST which is 6am in Australia, 5am in Tokyo and 4am in New Zealand on a Sunday morning. I'm just asking what would be the possibility of the next one being held about 2-4 hours later than the current time?

The majority are American players, so admins will please the majority not the minatory.

Reasons for being on this time:
On a weekend
Not a Sunday for religious purposes
on the afternoon so its peek hour

Making it a few hours late will destroy the Graal system and corrupt the server. So this cannot happen.

whats minatory

1 am in England, so holding it later would upset us further, but whatever

Here in the philippines, I have to wake up at 3am but I had somewhere else to go to all saturday morning to sunday night and woke up at 6am on gst day. At least 2 hours + from the original time -_-

rufus pls balance the world clock

Ryan,i see your point but the timing is perfect for me.I am always able to be on for the GST,even though i never participate.I just scout guilds,find strategy to learn from and hope i will be in the next GST with Lords.

There was a thread about this last GST. Rufus made it pretty clear it wont change.

I SAY WE HAVE A POLL

4pm est, lets say move it forward 4 hours to 4pm, not too late(besides all the good Sparrer's are old enough to stay up later)
Makes it 9am Sunday for australia, 8am Sunday for Tokyo
A lot better suiting Overall!

Yep, those always seem to work.

That doesn't work at all... I made a poll so we can have a head shop I asked how much yes we would need to Albus he said 1500.
When I got 1000 yes I asked him again just incase and he said:
No.
The admins doesn't really care if a poll have alot of yes or not.
I don't even think a poll to start the GST 2 hours later would make them thinking about it except if almost every graalians say yes...

Well no one wants heads on graal because they can make their dream head and upload it

its 7 am in New Zealand time buts that is still too early for me. Move it around 2pm NZ time.


Number of occasions I've slept in a GST : 1/20

I think the only true way to solve the time issue would be to have 2-3 Gst's instead of just 1. Some how I don't think the admins would go for that. They probably wouldn't want 4-6 gst winners instead of just the two. I would't really see the harm in expanding the gst into 2 tournaments based in different time frames to accommodate players tho.

Just have a 2nd tournament 3-4 hours before or after the current one. Any guild leader would be able to choose the time frame they want their team to compete in when they submit there team. If there is an lopsided amount in one tournament then the other there could be a global pm asking guild leads to switch their time frame prefrence so it stays even.

Guilds would only be allowed to register for and compete in one of the two time frames. All guild leaders would be asked to keep there time frame preference quiet so nobody knows which teams will be in which tournament. I think it would be best if ppl didn't know when the stronger spar guilds where competing. I just figure if ppl knew which tournament US was sparring in they would choose the other one so they can have an actual chance at winning.

Well Maybe if there was a Gst for North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania but I don't think admin would like that idea and consider it as a great idea but hope never killed anyone :3
And the admins try to make the majority happy... and almost everyone is from the USA.

I don't think they need to go that far and break it down by country I think keeping the main gst at 4 pm est usa time and adding a second gst at 12 pm(noon) est usa time would be better. Like I said I think the issue would be that ppl would want to find out which tournament US was in so they could enter the other one and have a chance at winning.
