This is a heads up, not a complaint. I don't want anyone who's trying to get a house this lottery period to miss out because they were thinking they could wait until late Saturday to enter.

This first lottery period will be ending on Saturday April 16th 7:59am PDT (or at least I'm assuming it's displaying my local time zone). That's 4 days, 6.5 hours after the servers came up from maintenance as opposed to 5 full days.

They did warn us that maintenance will shorten some lottery periods and that appears to be what we're seeing with this. It looks like lottery cut offs are tied to the daily reset used for roulettes/tribal quests.
