It's a good question, but I agree it's not the right place to ask it. Maybe in the "Ask Questions" thread.

Also, a message to Fern (I hope you see this with that gigantic eye of yours). Can we at least get the time of day for Japan when these things are supposed to start? This way we can calculate on our own time. When do you guys normally "hit the red button" for expansions or testing commencement? Around 10am? Lunch? Just before the evening people leave?

I won't die or anything if you can't provide any extra specifics. It would be nice to plan our days accordingly, though.
