PSA: RotGP event listed as starting before HoR event ends

I've already put a post in the bug forums.

I know I've complained about the time between events before, but this change is going in the wrong direction.

Looks like it's on the same rotation as the Trials.

I know this will hurt some players, but it's going to help others.  Typically the event starts when I go to bed, so I don't get to start for about 12 hours.  Now that it's shifted, I can play some nodes at the beginning.

I'm a little indifferent either way, now that we can store up to 6 charges.

He doesn't care about the timing. 

This interferes with his ability to swap players in and out of his mega size coalitions.

We have one coalition of 24 people. I appreciate your dislike of the system, but let's not misrepresent things.

So, bigger than the normal size. Would you prefer if I call it plus size? Oversized? 

What does it matter if it's 24 or 30. It's a swapping issue.

This interferes with everyone's ability to move into coalitions. This probably hurts smaller coalitions the most since they can't add new people between events.

I like plus size--let's go with that.

Primarily, it's the difference between "Coalition" and "coalitions", however, that I wanted to point out. We don't have large-scale roster shuffling like some of the other groups.

Have you been through the initiation ceremony yet? Bring a towel and some bleach. I hope you have a strong stomach.

Better bring a couple towels. 
 
Just for clarification -- BadRobots are not a TP9 coalition (though they've been invited -- and have declined. ) @Ohboy does pop into our public channels from time to time and we are happy to have him ( !!! ), just as we are happy to have you, @shteev , other members of GP, players from the Extinction family and many of our old friends from the MTGPQ Alliance -- in fact, anyone who wants a POSITIVE community to hang out in and talk about the game (and various somewhat related or not-so related topics )  is welcome in our public channels  (PM me for an invite). 

Also -- in case anyone is wondering -- this doesn't affect TP9 coalitions because we don't score switch -- if we have to play with 19 because someone needs a weekend off and we can't sub them ahead of time, we will play with 19 . Thus I have nothing to say about the time change other than:  It's a game for goodness sakes.

I personally don't like overlapping coalition events. It compromises score tracking and the ability to switch players.

For me the better solution would be starting HoR 1 day before. That way we have a longer period between coalition events.

It used to be like that but since AKH the time was reduced to 2 hours, now they are overlapping. Just move PvP to start before.
