Eastern Standard Tribe

During work break, popped in to the Ticket to Ride lobby again. During my visit last night, I noted that nearly all chat seemed to be in English. Now, during the American work day, it's almost entirely in German... and the server is way busier! I guess that by the time American players start to crowd in, it's hours after the server's daily prime time, all the Euro-players having gone to bed.

Nothing too surprising (and there's even been a short novel written around this phenomenon; see subject line), but fun to see it in practice unexpectedly.

I keep forgetting to buy Corey Doctorow novels ( or at least take them from the NESFA library)!

_Down and Out_ had screwed-up people who were interesting and sincere. _EST_ has screwed-up asshats. I didn't like _EST_.
