Should GAC award bonuses for attacking earlier?

I think it would make sense to give bonus points for each battle in GAC depending on when it takes place. I would break it into 4 6 hour chunks. In the first 6 hours I would give 3 bonus points per battle, in the second 2, in the third 1 and in the fourth none. Just a small offset so everybody doesn’t play a game of chicken for who will attack first for 22 hours.

    I'm firmly in the going 2nd is better camp. But I think that position is only absolute in a vacuum. For me, the benefit of attacking at night, after my kids go to bed, is likely greater than trying to squeeze in attacks at lunch the next day.

    So my less compact stance is that (1) I should attack at a time when I'll perform best and (2) I'd prefer if my opponent attacked before then.

    I'd still like CG to hide scores, but I'm not losing sleep over it :p

    That’s the risk you take when you choose to eat. I haven’t eaten or slept in the last few years because that’s what it takes to be really committed to GAC. Haven’t missed a single sign up in the name of “nutrition”.

    The FTP struggle is real I guess... :)


    Don't get me started on making sure you're available for your fleet payout. I gave up washing to make sure I was free for that hour every day, gotta maximise that crystal income!
