With the understanding that I am retarded....
« on: August 17, 2012, 09:52:04 PM »
Let us approach the timing of FSO.

And I don't mean like BRAARRRR WAT?!?!?! Anger manifestation... I mean like...




Really considering this...


I live central time.  For FSO, I grabs myself approximately 128 oz water, iced...   32 oz, vodka, frozen, with 8 oz rocks. 4 to 8 12oz (HEY! Am I flying fighters or buffs?!, Right?) beerz from around the world.

I FREAK OUT on my squad like YO GET YO bellybutton UP IN FSO.... and they are ALWAYS "dude, it's in an hour".... and EVERY time... as I watch AWESOME East coasters (and some Canadians) log off because they have a vested interest in maintaining some semblance of vaginal relations. (The East coasters, not the Canadians)

So, we roll FSO, and it is INTENSE... it's always a good time... but ALWAYS bereft of the afforementioned cats....  and I says to myself... self.... why must we always be bereft?  WHY?

I KNOW there has to be a reason, but I voiced to my squad (of cats) "Isn't FSO like.... an hour too late, no matter where you live?"  and the resounding answer was YES!

Now, if that is the case (assuming our cross section is good) we could push it back one hour.... for the east coasters...

THEN I THOUGHT.... what about the You Rows?  Is it becarz of them?  If so, and they are staying up THAT late, more power to them, if not.... why don't we try kicking it back one hour?

Okay... let's try it this way:

There are a lot of players that would enjoy participating in FSO.

They do not, however, participate in FSO due to the time frame that FSO occupies.

I believe that, overall, we could increase participation by moving FSO one hour earlier.

In FACT... even alternating it per operation, or frame, my expose a wider demographic to the awesome that is FSO.

Thank you for your time.

Oh, did I at some point indicate that I wanted my request to be tossed in and lost amongst the drossheap of the wishlist cesspool?

Because if I did, I assure you that was not my intent.

Oh, you are right... 7 is far too late to expect a timezone that is accustomed to early events to fly FSO.
