My first two today have both been 4-hours each. :?

    Thank god, only a total of 8 hours of Cecil tasks tomorrow. Gonna sleep in.


    :D :D :D

    I'm used to not sleeping
  • Prior to seeing this list, I just figured it was random. I am glad to see the list, but when comparing my times I see there is a bit of strangeness.

    Apr 22, 4,2,6,2 - completed

    Apr 23, 1,2,4,1 - list
    Apr 23 4,2,6 - actual in process task length (now completed) now on 1 hour final task :? so there goes my theory.

    Well it looks like I am repeating Apr 22nd's task list again, which works for my schedule today. I started my tasks just after midnight local time which is in the same time zone as EA. PDT GMT-8, but got the previous days task lengths.

    My guess is that the EA servers have not really switched over to DST. I noticed this during a previous event that I had to wait until 1 am for something to start.

    I will be testing this theory out over the next couple of days by entering into my town either just after midnight or just after 1 am. All tasks will be completed before those times and I'll just have people either waiting to send or finished their tasks.

    The big test will be the 25th, If I can redo the 24th's task of 8 hr total length I would be much happier than doing the 16 hr tasks.
  • I was just pointed to this list yesterday, and my task times don't match either.

    My last 2 tasks yesterday were 6 and 2 hours.

    My task lengths today were 4, 2, 4, 1.

    And yes, I did 4 tasks yesterday.

    I'm actually wondering if it has to do with the buildings you do / don't have. I don't have the Super Collider, Volcano Lair, or Aztec Theater. Could it be that if one of those buildings comes up as the task that the program 'rolls the dice' and assigns you a random task?

    Doh! I'm pooped and my brain doesn't work.

    That can't be it. I'm playing 2 games and BOTH games always have the same task times. There would have to be alternate lists for people with different buildings...
