What are your playing times during the week days?

With Donkey ask that each month for important races I start to be curious now. It can give an idea maybe to choose the time races. You can choose all the time you want but you can't change the vote.

The link for week-ends poll :

Good to be curious.

But not sure if this is the most efficient survey. This cannot capture priorities (e.g. I can play 17h on weekends, but I prefer 20-22h) and it cannot capture changes (e.g. one week I can play afternoon, other week I can play evening), etc.

Would need an ingame survey, which can be updated all the time and then we can adjust the times.

BUT. BUT. BUT! If we just add more players. I mean, imagine! Imagine, if we add more players, you can have every time every day! It used to be a bit like that. Many available times, often with 2 pelotons. Just imagine! Like, I would have to guess, but around that time, we had 200-300 active players every day. Maybe I'm wrong and falsely think "The past was better." like those ultra-conservative old people nowadays, but there is some truth in it for RSF. Increase number of players from 50-60 to 200-300 and we don't have to worry about times anymore. Just imagine!

Again, depends on schedule. Sime days I can play at 11 or 16 too, on Friday sometimes even in the evening but mostly on 9, 10 or 14, 15.

For sure you have right, the polls aren't perfect because of a lot of reason : people can have different schedule due to work, holidays...,tours and ond one day races aren't split, etc.... But I believe people have their habits even with that. I'll talk only for myself, but I know that during weekdays I'll play essentially the night, but for week end I switch morning /early afternoon for one day race.
Btw I am not agree with you Gip on some points. I think fixing times in our current situation is better to secure some new players. At least we are not in a period we can "waste" some groups because we put a race in an unusual time.

No no, I think the two of us agree here. I don't support "off-times" like 11h, 13h, 17h when we only 50-60 active players each day.

But even with 300 players we can't have all this times. Currently I prefer to have group 2 or 3, and trying to develop something during the European night, between 3 and 6 AM
