You really don't have to do this to yourself

[Remilia_Nightfall]

I shouldn't have to get up at 4am just to have a chance to play a game.

It's true.

You don't actually have to, you know. You can wait a bit, and the queues will magically vanish.

Unless someone is forcing you to play the game. That may be a crime, so please try and contact your local authorities at your earliest convenience.
