I solve the post kickoff explosion by generally staying off CD. I need time to firm up my own ideas anyway.

I agree with this, the first few days I try to stay away so I (and my team) can formulate our own ideas about strategy and mechanism design. Same with ri3d and build blitz. Although, with all the hints of change lately, I'll likely be on here earlier to verify that we haven't missed any changes to the rules.
