Auto Demo Timer Restarting

[Seraphor]

not to mention is seems we're pretty close to a vaccine being ready.

It's still a way off yet, at least 6 months, if not more due to production and logistics, and a vaccine isn't a free pass to reduce other measures. Plus whatever the coming administration puts in place is still going to be largely subject to public cooperation, and the anti-masker movement isn't going away any time soon, especially when bundled into the Trump cult and made partisan just like everything the right wing set their crosshairs on.
Basically don't count your chickens yet, progress is being made but it's not going to come that quickly.

With the coming change in administration, we may finally get this damn virus under control. Excellent timing.

Right, because the administration is the reason its out of control. It couldn't possibly be the thousands/millions of people NOT following guidelines or new state legislature.... right? SMH, you kids these days.

I mean, it doesn't help when the prior administration turned wearing masks into a political statement. All while refusing to wear them themselves.

To be honest it would be nice if they just continued to add more wards to accommodate the demand enough so that these timers wouldn't be necessary.

But that just means that wards will be even more lifeless than they already are. SE seriously needs to add more reasons for other to engage with one another with housing.
Sure, it would be nice if we had enough space. But it is what it is, I guess.

In ARR, the wards were very lively. Neighbouring FCs often being affiliates with one another and hosted joint events for holidays. Individuals and groups alike would also hang out, invite neighbours to weddings and other such things, and I remember even playing a game of hide-and-seek. It was quite a lot of fun, and fairly lively. But I think it also depends on the server. Each server pretty much has its own culture, in a way. I think this year, people have been fairly lively in the residential areas. But it could also be because of the player-orchestrated Halloween events and whatnot.
Here's hoping it goes back to being even more social, though!

You all have to leak political shit into this. I don't get enough at work, social media, radio, etc., we have to have it in our FF14 too while we're at it.

Timers had nothing to do with potential regime changes in the USA. If there were any "regime" SE looked at, it was their own home country's regime.

Our government conditions us to put politics into everything. A divided populace is easier to control.

On a related note, I am curious to see what the conditions in place will be for purchasing plots when the Firmament finally rolls out. In my own self-interest, I would be delighted if they simply treated all the new plots as freshly demolished, giving those with existing houses dibs.

I assume that's exactly what they will do. If they were to make it "FC's first" again then they should prepare for a complete shitstorm.

If anything it will be like when they added Shirogane.
