so I go on at ~ 2 am last night and figure since I am logged in and can select "my games" the maintenance must have went smoothly and didn't take the whole hour, so I start to play, then in the middle of a turn I take someone out in an escalating game, cash in for 175 armies, deploy 19 and then...you know the rest...
it was my fault of course for not paying attention to detail because the notice probably stated that it was CST (I'm on EST) but still it cost me points, is there anyway we can have a red countdown timer for maintenance...? 10 min, 15 min...? that way people in the middle of a turn can set up their next turn and make sure they get a card by ending their turn, if a timer had popped up it would've changed my strategy completely and I could've cashed in my next turn as well instead of cashing in both sets trying to end the game and screwing myself in the process...
is programming a red warning countdown timer for maintenance impossible...? it's not like the maintence ever starts on time anyway and this can also be misleading, I played for a good 20 minutes or so before the maintenance booted me out so it began ~ 20 min after the scheduled start, 1:20 am or so CST, 2:20 am EST...
