No, it just had such a massive one it triggered connection timeouts.

[Slayerhero90]

Again.

[Glloyd]

Yeah, sorry about that. I do try to announce them on the server and on the thread, but it really is just a matter of timezones. It started at 10:30 PM GMT -5, so 3:30 AM GMT. Which means that most people playing in Europe were out of luck. I tried to start the middle one earlier, but the first one was almost a year ago now, so I forget. I think that one was more spontaneous.

I'd call discrimination on that but I'm really not keen on playing ever again.

I'm sorry, but as a full time university student who works part-time who lives in a GMT -5 timezone, there's not really many other times I can hold them. No discrimination meant, if I could hold them earlier, I would.

[Cheedows]

Yeah, Fallout rounds almost always go to 2 o'clock in the morning for Glloyd's time, like yesterday.

My last words: SHES GONNA BLOW!

Cue Supermatter engine explosion

Speaking as a European, it's quite understandable why the special rounds are usually too late for us. Simply put - we don't usually have enough people playing during our more convenient times to justify a special round.
Also, because there's fewer of us, I suspect there's fewer European admins (although I don't really know where most of the admins are from) and special rounds are the sort of things that benefit from having a bunch of admins on at the same time.

[Cheedows]

Most admins are from North America, although some live on the east and west coast so there is still a bit of a timezone difference.

[Aseaheru]

And then thee are people like me who can be on at (for europiens) reasonable times but cant normally be on during the right time for spacial rounds even though we are in the same timezones as the admins.

[Darvi]

I'm not even offended really, I'm used to that kind of stuff by now.

And when I explicitly state that I'm offended then it's usually me being snarkastic anyway.

[Slayerhero90]

I have yet to play through an entire trader visit and that makes me sad.

[Eagle_eye]

Did... did it crash again?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Yep.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Don't quote me on this, the government may notice, but this is probably the reason.

Well, that was hilarious to read. Probably true, too.

I'm a terrible person
