Then couldn’t everyone set it at the latest and get even more time?

I haven’t found anything wrong with it yet, which ****es me off…

Seems pretty good, one thing tho, after you finish your week are you invisible to the other players so they don’t know how many scoops you have so they put themselves just one above?

It’s a pretty good suggestion but in the end it feels like the ones ending at 9pm EDT still have the upper hand.

Aha! See? There is something wrong with it!

Actually, hiding the scoops might work for a while, but someone would come up with a script to record them every hour or something, so that they could keep track anyway.

This would be easy for the klanfabulous persons to exploit by getting a bunch of scoops and ending their game when no one else is on to bumhole them.

Yeah, bumholes would be pretty useless, unless you’re on 24/7.

This has potential, though I get the feeling there would be stale periods.

I think a clutch of 3-5 different times that you select from a dom options page or something would be better. When you earn your first scoop it’d bring you there and be like “Hey, what time do you want to finish the competion: A) 11AM B) 3PM C) 7PM”

then the dom brain would dump you in a medal-appropriate pod that ends at your chosen time. then maybe the next round wouldn’t start until the last timeblock has pbumed. If you just finished an early pod there could be a big warning on your character page like “HEY you finished an early dom pod. there’s still games in progress so the system isn’t accepting any new players. wait until 7:30 if you want your scoops.”

Or you could have it be a permanent thing that, once chosen, cannot be unchanged until you are not in a pod. So that your chosen time would stay forever until you change it before entering a new dom week. That way you wouldn’t need a cooldown after an early match.

So, for instance, one week Tom’s Ribshack would be end at 3PM while bedwetters would end at 7PM. Players previously in ribshack have to either wait until the last game is over and choose a new finish time or, if using the global time request, after 3, ribshacker can start scooping and be dumped in another 3pm pod.

the issue might be filling the pods since likely there would be one with less players.

food for thought, crotch zombies.

I’m all in favor of trying to find a way so that more players can play. The current end time seems to be a big frustration point for everyone outside of the US timezones (and even some within.) But, really a rotating time is the only solution I’ve seen that would legitimately work.

Anything that allows a player to have a semi-unique situation is hugely open to abuse. Especially anything that creates a window where no one can play cards or where a player can be immune to having cards played on them. From a raiding klan perspective it would be possible to hold an epic raid leading up to my end time and not even have to make the scoop sacrifice to purchase cards, as all my scoops would be safe from destructive cards. It would also greatly increase the scoops on the board. Usually klan scoops are turned in for a card. Cards are only cost effective in that they protect scoops. If the scoops are already protected there is no need for cards, suddenly instead of 100 scoops being 25 cards that can repopulate to maybe 25 – 30 scoops, they can sit there as 100 scoops.

This. Yes!
