I started at 9:07 am on one of last years strains. Somehow I'm only on the second stage?
It's been almost 2 or 3 days since I asked for one of those (the same as yours, iirc) and I didn't even get to the FIRST stage... 😅
Stages take 7.5-8.5 hours to progress. So if you started stage 1 at 9:07 AM, you'd reach stage 2 around 4:37-5:37 PM, then stage 3 around 12:07-2:07 AM on the 28th. You can get a more precise window if you watch your strain to see the approximate times at which it progressed. (I saw you hit stage 3 at 12:50 AM. Stage 4 should be between 8:20-9:20 AM :))
You have to ask for bites over on the forums if you want your strain to start faster. Otherwise it takes 3 days to get infected.

So many issues when we started..slow progression..the bite me message didn't appear until late after the message that the progression was finished for me so i lost most of that day waiting for the bite me message..I wonder if we can get an extra day tacked onto this event???
