Not sure about this. It’s the equivalent to asking players to pick a consistent six hour window in which to take even the smallest chain of daily actions, which seems unnecessarily tough on players with unpredictable online times.

@Kevan: That is indeed the purpose. Having to consistently hit the start of an eighteen-hour window that can’t overlap midnight is much more wearing than having to consistently hit the start of a six-hour window that can’t overlap midnight, as I really don’t have the inclination to arrive at BlogNomic at 6am.

18 hours is too much IMO. Something like 10-12 would be more feasible to avoid the point Kevan brings up above.

But it also means if a player isn’t online at consistent times every day, they can only play the grind or join the timing scam at half speed. Eight or ten hours might be fairer, to keep both the tired scammer and the sporadic player happy.

Midnight UTC is a great time for me, 4pm - I can be online for several hours before and after without changing my schedule or staying up late.  For ais523, on the other hand, it’s late, and at best he can stay online most of an hour afterward.  Other people are asleep.  This situation, while advantageous for me, is patently unfair.

I’m not sure this is the best solution, though - in some cases, it still rewards people who can take a series of (up to 4) actions exactly 18 hours apart.

I like the 12 hours window.

I’d rather 12, but whatever. Let’s change a thing.

Yep. Should be 12. Otherwise it becomes a pain to track.

How is 18 more of a pain to track than the current 6?
