Okay gently caress it.

I am officially sick of having no warning for this poo poo and it taking up every single evening. "BTW, see you tomorrow and the day after" is getting pretty loving old.

There wasn't even room for negotiation on when, just "hey lemme know if you need more time".

Yeah, us in the swole tribe have had to give up pretty much every evening this week thus far to this game and it's really cramping my social life.

Can we please move the challenge to like, tomorrow or next week or SOMETHING

I ain't even showing up tonight, gently caress it.

I'm tired of having my social life and free time held hostage without any kind of communication or ANYTHING for what to do if it doesn't work out.

And that's not even getting into the fact that some people have finals to study for.

also even beyond the social life thing I have finals next week

I need to study and having my evenings disrupted EVERY EVENING is really shooting that effort in the foot

Hmm, I'm always open to feedback, so let's talk about it! Sorry if this is a bit long-winded, but here's my thoughts:

Theoretically, Tribal Councils are not supposed to be too demanding. That's why we started off having a 5-hour window for TC, and I only narrowed it because I got feedback that all that time wasn't necessary. If TC is not time intensive, then there's just two challenges a week that really would be a demand on your time. So, if there's a problem with this game asking for too much of you, I'd like to look at Tribal Councils and start there in coming up with a solution. Whenever I post a Tribal Council time, I've always stressed that I'm willing to extend it as far as needed to make it work for people. Don't feel like just because you can make it at 8:30 that you have to sacrifice your evening and agree to the 8:30-9:30 time. If something else would be more convenient, ask for that window to be moved or extended! Again, theoretically, making a couple posts and sending in your vote is something I think we should be able to achieve without imposing too much on people's time.

All that said, I do recognize that the game is time-demanding. I realize people are caught in a position of sometimes not having a challenge be good with their schedule but not wanting to let their tribe down. So far all the challenges have allowed for people to sit out, though. If you have something else going on, I think you can inform your tribe and I encourage tribes to be understanding, which I'd expect people would be as long as you let them know in advance. It should be okay if you can't make a challenge! If you say, look, I really want to be there, but I'm going out with friends that night, I don't think your tribe will hold it against you and don't think they should. Give yourself some time off if you need it. Don't put pressure on yourself to have 100% attendance if it's not what's right for you.

As far as notice goes, so far we've been on a consistent schedule: challenges Tuesday and Thursday, TC on Wednesday and Monday. I'm not trying to take people by surprise. Beyond that, when someone requested having challenges on Wednesday, I was willing to incorporate that, and I really am willing to adjust things to make the game a good experience for you all. If there's a certain week that's busy for everyone, it's just a matter of making that known, and we can look at scaling things back that week, finals week for example. It's a balancing act between not wanting the game to last into July plus wanting to keep people immersed in the gameplay, and the fact that we don't want to take over people's lives.

All that said, though, this is a game that's in general a bit demanding on those who play it, and we can't totally escape that. Further, if one or two people can't make a challenge at this point, I'm not going to try to reschedule it because there's almost never going to be a time that's perfect for everyone. That's why the challenges are designed to work without 100% participation.

If next week is finals week and that's gonna be a busy time for multiple people, we could make next week a week where we just have one challenge. On Wednesday, as per request. Something like that. feel free to hit me up with your conflicts and we'll see what we can do!

I guess I'm THAT guy too. I don't have a work schedule so I can make it pretty much anytime. The thing that has gotten me down this week though, is having to be here 4 nights straight in a row. I realize that if we'd won the challenge, that would not have happened, but I think it's putting some wear-and-tear on people. It's not like I have some AMAZING social life, but I have not been able to go out all week. Of course I could turn down a challenge, but I literally have the least good excuse for it, of anywhere here

I personally think you've been good about asking people to ask about changing the times, but it's the 4 days in a row that is getting people a little bonkers. It's already technically a game that never stops, but this week has been draining even to me, and I have nothing else I HAVE to do.

I do think it's possible the 4 days in a row draining thing is an intended side effect of the game and losing though
