September Calendar

Why have Territory Battles been shortened by one full day? Is this a mistake or something we haven’t been told about yet?

    Not sure what you're talking about bud. First one starts on the 4th and runs till the 9th (4-5-6-7-8-9) which is 6 days. Think you may have just counted wrong.

    Umm, no. He’s right.

    Starts on the 4th, going to the 5th is 1 day.
    Going from 5th to 6th is 2 days.
    From 6th to 7th is 3 days.
    7th to 8th is 4 days.
    8th to ending on the 9th is only 5 days of TB.

    It would need to end on the 10th for 6 full days of a TB.

    Fair enough.. Fixing one thing and simultaneously screwing something else up does seem to be CG's speciality though. They also forgot to include the Endor Escalation event in September (unless they just decided to stop running it without telling anyone...)

    Lol, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all highly anticipating official responses to shine a light on our near future. TBs, # of TWs, missing events, etc. We may just have to wait until some of these events get started to get a better grasp of what will be happening.

    You forgot that it ends at the end of the 9th day, not ends at the start of the 9th day.

    Or another way to put it, it's the 5th-9th inclusive of those days. Exactly how it's always been, and how it's always been written. Check the previous calendars if you aren't sure.

    I did not consider time zone differences - my TBs always start at 12pm, in the middle of my day. So that’s the way I always calculated it’s duration: 4th to the 5th as a single day, not needing to consider “start” or “end” of a day.

    Most of us have 5 fingers on a hand but we only have 4 spaces in between the fingers. CG is marking the fingers in their calendar. OP is only counting the spaces in between the fingers.

    All previous TB’s started on a Monday and ended on a Sunday. They are showing them starting on a Tuesday and ending on a Sunday. That’s one less day, period.

    You may want to check your information and reasoning once again. F.ex. check how it has been written i previous calendars. Nothing changed. Furthermor, events that run for 24 hours and hence may cover two days are listed as running the first day only. This is just the good old '5 fingers - but only 4 spaces in between them' discussion again. CG is listing the 6 fingers, but you are only counting the 5 spaces in between them.

    It's an idiosyncrasy of CG's. Sometimes I find it strange that an event which is listed as running until the 9th will actually end at 7pm on the 10th for me, but then I think 'Americans' and that explains a lot.

    Dates listed are the start of the last date. This is correct and has been written this way for some time. But passed along the request for clarity in the future
