Staff, PLEASE be careful with events like this in the future. If something like this happens again, make it so the timers are better and you get more points so people are not forced to grind tasks for 3/4 of a day.
I joined slightly late, and have responsibilities with exams and work. I'm nosleeping in order to get on the path to elite, because I'm a completionist and want the elite trophy... if you are encouraging your users to set alarms for 20 minute intervals every night, you've done something wrong.
