Please start today!!

The suspense is killing me !___! I'm so ready to get infected and be all nasty.

This is even less likely to be a useful pattern, but here's the last five years' start times: usually in the evening, Subeta-Time. (based on the news post; usually preceded by a site crash and item directory uploads XD) [box=#feeeed]2019: 3:09 pm 2018: 6:48 pm 2017: 6:11 pm 2016: 6:04 pm 2015: 7:46 pm[/box]

I think it might start today, it's exactly 2 weeks from today for the holiday to run.

It's been running a couple of days into March, lately.

7PM Subeta time is past midnight for me, so I hope it's not that late. I've already lost enough sleep from waiting as it is. 6PM is also late for me, but a bit more manageable. Last year it started unusually early, around 8PM in my time zone, I hope it starts around that time, or any time between then and 11PM.

Incidentally, last year it started on a Saturday. The rest of those 6-7pm start times were workdays.

Maybe they start events earlier on weekends then? Although last year most events actually started before 11PM in my time zone. Masquerade was an odd case because they started it at midnight Subeta time, which they don't normally do for events, but I guess they did that because it had been delayed for long enough. And most of those days were weekends (I remember Neugarten being on a Monday, Keel Hauliday being on a Friday, and Morostide being on a Thursday, but that's it).

I was thinkin' whoever's gonna flip the switch is off weekends and on subeta earlier XD (so if it happens today, I'd think there's a better chance of it being earlier in the day than if it happens to-morrow, but that's purely speculation)

It's 6PM for me and still no signs, I'm sure I recall items being added around 4PM my time last year, but I could be wrong.

Now that the wardrobe bugs are smooshed we can start Survival...Hint, hint. I can't wait to see the new infections and gather some of the older ones myself.

I really think they're leaving it until the last possible moment

Anyone going for a new or old virus? New for me!

I really don't think it will start today. The items would have been added already.

Unless something has changed, it will likely start tomorrow. Though I really wished it started Friday. ;-; Ready to get started.

I always start with a new, then older ones after that, unless I really like another of the new ones

Same! I love seeing the progressions of the new strains.

, they've had some good ones lately, with some unexpected outcomes! I hope they keep it up!

I can’t wait to see what they come up with this year!

I don't want to come off as whining, but I also don't want to play the optimist that allows for & contributes to a problem persisting. That said, I'm already a bit discouraged and thus less likely to participate with as much enthusiasm this year, primarily because it starting on a weekday (when I don't have ample access to the site) means my whole schedule for maximizing strain collections is thrown off. I'm still excited for the items and designs, but the activity of it all is so lessened for me.

I'm kind of upset cause I really wanted it to start today so that I wouldn't have to worry when I go out tomorrow, now I'll be stressed tomorrow evening and checking my phone whenever I can and I know the staff probably have their reasons like making sure everything's working rather than being all like "Ha ha ha we're making you wait ages for this because we like to troll you" but I take things too personally and sometimes things like this do feel like personal attacks even when I know they're not.
