Re: Bag and Tag Time

it makes sense that the game is released globally at the same time, so stop build is now also the same time globally. I actually envy the west coasters here, since they can go home at 9PM. Us east coasters get the same midnight time we've always had.

I don't envy them having to be up for a 7:30 AM game reveal though

I used to be on a Seattle team. the mornings were a little bit early, but that was also 3 more hours you could do robotics before having to head home to sleep.

Haha, try 5:30 a.m.! But it's kind of hard to sleep the night before kickoff anyway, no?

Yesss! Best way to celebrate. I'd like to make a bunch of sugary dessert stuff so no one passes out while building, then we finish off with cupcakes, THEN we pass out.

"Up" is subjective. To a reasonably astute observer, we're awake.

... and feel sorry for the British team(s). I think it translates to ~6AM for them.
