Round ends on Sunday night and the new one commences on the following Tuesday night. Why this big gap? Why can't they go back to back and start immediately?

Same with other servers too.

express was originally meant to be a weekend server because of its fast pace

most of the other servers wait a day or so so everyone has time to create a country

Yeah I thought about time for creating countries, except it seems you can be late and still get the turns up to when both turns(saved turns) become full.

I registered late for express before and still got turns so I didn't miss out.

which for most servers is 3 days, giving people 4 days to make a country and get tags set up and all the crap that comes with a new set.

in addition, i think the servers are manually reset still, so it gives the admins a bit of room to work in resetting the databases and creating new bots and all that fluff.

I mean, i dont know all of this for sure, but using a little logic, it is pretty easy to find a few reasons.

dude.. i need to work at least 2 days in a week ! :p

must be just you guys I get express 24/7 :P
