I have some housekeeping items to talk to you about so there will be this announcement & another one after. Never ceases to amaze me that after every season, we still find ways to improve the forum game experience.
After some careful consideration, we have decided that from now on, we will throw away the famous BBQ 12 hour voting window that we have grown so used to. The goal was obviously to get votes in earlier, usually before you go to bed, but I understand that can take away from some last minute scrambling, etc. I also am not the person who loves to be up early if I don't have to, so with all the said, we are moving to a fixed voting deadline hour instead. From now on, unless there's special circumstances like a long challenge (endurance) or something like a DOUBLE, the voting deadline will be 2pm EST. It doesn't matter when it opens, it will always be 2pm EST except during special rounds. Most of the time this will mean that you will get more than 12 hours to vote. Eviction will be posted shortly after. This will also make the trap times later, which I think will help everyone.
Please ask if you have any questions about this new rule.
