I just started and my timer says 9 days and 5 hours - which implies perhaps we don't get to start individually - although again this COULD be a time zone issue with my device, as I am about 15 hours ahead of Pacific Time I think. I should check. Anyway, Australian Eastern Standard time, now is Saturday Sept 5, 11:31 am
Edit: Actually - the timer thing says "Event Expires" in 9 days and 5 hours, which may just mean I would have 9 days and 5 hours to start it? Clarification please, Theone2001?
Edit again: completed Chapter 1 and it says the Next Chapter unlocks in 5 hours - so I do think the timer gets a little confused with my local date/time, because 5 hours would be about your midnight, I think?
