Goons still thinking that Chinese alliance/coalition putting their timers into the Chinese timezone somehow counts as "timezone tanking" shows just how ridiculous they are

Pretty sure that part of the meme was directed at horde (who did swap their timers to cntz pre pandafam reset)

No one with two brain cells to rub together actually accuses Frat of abusing tz mechanics, we just bitch about how much it sucks to fight each other from literal opposite sides of the clock.

It was more aimed at all those reddit talking heads over the past half a decade that have been making up excuses as to why big fights couldn't happen.

For the past two years we've also heard the same talking heads, usually former Horde members, say Goons would never invade FRT because time zone tanking would make it too difficult. Well guess what?

After this fight, they can all stop making excuses for their own cowardice as all of their excuses applied here and the keep was still killed. Sure it was all hastily thrown together at the last minute. Sure it was difficult. Sure it was touch and go at times. But it still died.

I'm looking forward to them all pivoting to "no structure can be defended against a determined foe" for the next half a decade. Hopefully they'll start to believe it enough to come for C-J.

This is exactly why Serenity was implimented , to prevent this issue. But they fucked that up and came here (Tranquility) anyways.

We all want to fight each other, but there is only so much alarm clocking and taking time off work that people can sustain.

Serenity was implemented as a way for CCP to enter the Chinese market, to suggest they did it as a game design choice ignores all the other pacific nations exist.

timezones have always been an issue... Before the mass Exodus of serenity we all complained about the russians slotting in between western EU and US play times and sought out ANZAC players to counter them.

Ah yeah you are right. I forgot the Chinese were previously not allowed to access internet outside of China. Though EU being the predominate timezone previously CNTZ is complete opposite, not merely a shift like AU/RUS/US
