Did the power that be think abt players at the other side of the earth?
When reset time is midnight for players, it would be relatively easy to plant one or 2 rounds of apple , and send out request before bed to neighbors, probably can then finish by the time they wake up, n at the same collect from farm for rumstone thing. And then can proceed to battling during daytime?
For me, reset time is in the middle of afternoon, by currently requirements, probably i can only get all invites by bedtime. Or worst, in tje middle of the night, that might not leave me much time to complete rest of the steps. And becoz of the auto start deadline, it would not allow meto try aligning last day to Sunday.
