The new round will immediately start after the old one completes. This means that the game will no longer necessarily end on Sunday. We can let it run for a while like this and make changes if any problems pop up.

I like this idea.

oh no. Help me. lol

@galleri

you will work overtime & like it.

tbh,

99% of game moderation could be programmed into the game., where moderators could just focus on appeals.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I was making a small joke. It isn't really an issue lol

For the forum moderation just use the same system StackOverflow uses. It then allows moderators to focus more on judgements made by the community rather than being a judge for every posts.

I guess I'm just making some suggestions for moderation on wrong thread.

On Stack Overflow, when a user flags a post (for being offensive, spam, not an answer, or needing moderator attention), the system tracks the flag and sends it to either community review queues or moderators depending on the type. (moderately offensive vs highly offensive)

Once reviewed, if the community or mods agree and take action, it's counted as a valid flag. If they disagree or leave the post up, it's considered a false flag.

Stack Overflow keeps track of this. Users who flag accurately build up a helpful flag count. But too many declined (false) flags can lead to restrictions, such as being temporarily unable to flag or having future flags carry less weight.

Example:
A user flags 100 posts.
If 90 of them result in action and 10 are declined, that’s a 90% flag accuracy.
But if they start flagging things they just personally dislike, and those flags get declined more often, the system starts to treat their flags as less trustworthy. Eventually, they may even lose the ability to flag altogether.

This could be interesting, might be more or less convenient for certain players.
I'm all for anything that can spice up the top 10 a bit. I hope it's really inconvenient for nitelL, so someone else can win :P

This is a good change. xD

Easier to destock on Tuesday night, than from the bougie rooftop bar on Sunday.

whelp it's official, I hate this change now!

Nice

Sunday afternoon is when my beer league games are played. The problem with this change is I no longer have an excuse for my poor finishes.

Oh man, I gave up my beer league games for couch time a long time ago. You should try it, it's wonderful.

I drink beer while watching other people fail at sports!

Cheers!

I wil absolutely use my privileged position to call you out on this lie 😜

YOURE OFF THE CASE BOBROVSKY

😎

So since there's 0 days in between., does that mean the rounds will last longer or does that mean the start/end date will land on different days each round?

I don't play...on Sundays
No lie.

The latter, it'll be same amount of turns so the beginning and end to each set will vary from round to round.

Yeas I think KoH has it correct, 7 week cycle, round ending on:

Sunday
Friday
Wednesday
Monday
Saturday
Thursday
Tuesday

So next round probably ends Friday.

I like this because being up at 1am on Sunday isn't compatible with me getting up early for work on Monday morning :)

Man I liked the rest day. This makes too much!

This. And I don't even express. \○/

You don't need to play in the first day even two days depending on what strategy you run.

That’s true KoH but now feels like a chore without break if I am now force fed more rounds per month.

And if I don’t make a country every round I’ll have my top 100 scores gap closed

I didn't know Slag moved in with you and has you at gun point force feeding you express rounds!

:P

The bug that showed the previous round's ranks during the first five minutes of the new round should be fixed.

Nice.

Btw,. I like the new change with 0 day downtime. GJ.

I would also like a time of day change of us non-US folks. It's challenging to wake up at the crack of dawn to only have 3 hours to finish the set. I know you guys think you are the centre of the earth, but hey, blow me.

and don't be butt hurt by my crudeness either.

lol

It’s actually UTC so complain to the English people that live in GMT!

I used to finish my Express rounds in less than 4 minutes. Request denied!

Pretty sure I can speak for all the Yanks when I saw, no thank you.

Seconded, I didn't know how I would feel about it... but I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Thank you for this.

The set ends too soon. I would love it, if the set ran from Saturday to Saturday 168 hours.

Hi Ratski,

The players voted and overwhelmingly choose to keep a five day round. You can see the results here: https://www.earthempires.com/...active-53492?t=1746718535

Doesn't work for my game style, you're denying my greatness. MEEGA!

Lol
