There has been some discussion recently on how having the Movie and Expanded Daily Tournaments at the same time makes it hard to get good participation, particularly for the Expanded Dailies. People have suggested that each Daily be scheduled for a different time.
This thread is to gauge what times work best for players, for each Daily. Just state which Daily Tournaments you play, and what times work best for you for those tournaments. For simplicity, please give your preferred times in GMT (Greenwhich Mean Time), the time that Gemp uses.
The only Daily that I play is Expanded. Right now, the perfect time for me would be 2000 GMT. My general availability range is from 2000 GMT - 0100 GMT, but the likelihood of my being able to play begins to go down starting around 2200 GMT, when family members start getting home.
For players in the United States, I suspect that the most convenient time is going to be around 2130-2200 GMT, as that's when most people start getting home from work.

I can play most days from 2000 to around 2400...
Thanks for posting this.

I would like 19:30 server time isntead of 20:30 and the late one 1-2 hours earlier as well.
-
I'm not sure what my time is in relation to GMT, but 2300-0130 and 0600-0900 Pacific time work best for me.

I play Movie and Fellowship, would like to see both Dailys start earler, especially the late one, as its too late for most europeans, even more since the DST.
Or better, would like to see more Dailys every day - a Daily every 6 hours or so, so more people can play, as suggested in other threads. Start with Fellowship ones to test it.

Sleep is for the weak :) I reckon that I've played games at all hours, though I do like the one at 00:30 (though less now we've entered BST as it's now it's 01:30 my time)
-
I've played games at all hours too. That doesnt mean I can or want to play Dailys starting 3.30 am (you're a lucky guy at 01.30) all the time.
Just put a Daily every 6 or so hours, everyone will find some time that suits him.

I think the issue here would be ending up with a few dailies at times when very few people can play. Finding two or three times over the day that most people can access would lead to better competition.

I think Cthulhu's idea is great.
The second daily is too late for Europeans, with lots of people making a sacrifice to get/stay competitive. Having it a bit earlier would still be convenient for North America, while making it far more accessible.
But the second idea is actually the thing. Having the tourneys every 6 hours would show some love to Asia and the European players who want to play during the day. A lot of the people can't play in the dailies because of their timing. We gotta show them some love : )
TL;DR - Push late daily a bit earlier. Make more dailies.
-
I like this idea, but I would add that the Daily times should be staggered between formats, so that no two formats share the same start times. This would encourage people to branch out between the dailies, make it so Dailies don't have to compete with each other for players.
