FSO start time change coming in 2012.
« on: October 22, 2011, 08:32:39 AM »
After much deliberation and discussion the FSO start time will be moved up by 30 minutes starting in January. So the EST start time will be 10:30 PM EST and the PAC start time will be 7:30 PM PST.

In the end moving it up by 1/2 hour gives the east coasters a bit of a break on staying up so late and the west coasters should still have enough time to get home and get in front of their PCs. I will also be very strict with the start times for FSO. When its time to go I will be wanting everybody to be set and the setup CMs to enable flights right on cue at the bottom of the hour so we are not staying later than we have to.

The problems with a player base over so many time zones and countries is nothing we can "fix". No set time is going to be a ideal to everybody. Im hoping this tweak will give releif where its needed to the most players while not cutting anybody out from playing.

Thank you.

OK with the 132 DW Bomber Group.

Interesting decision.  :salute
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The FSO start time in the UK begins with the British encamped at Yorktown.... Oh I am sorry, hit a nerve?  Was actually reading Mentalfloss "History of the World,"  King George III's diary entry...."Nothing important happened today."  July 4, 1776  ~~~ Snake ~~~
