    Lightbulb Countdown timer for events

    We already have a countdown timers until event end, what we don't have is a countdown timer until a event starts. Seeing as we get such a timer until happy hour finishes I suggest a count down until event starts on the front page.
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    -1 cant see why this would be needed - BB clearly announces event start date/time

    So why do we see so many asking the question in Global/Help. We also have the issue of those whom have little grasp of the English language, the several pages of text of which typifies the Dev dairy's not exactly a user friendly means of imparting the information for them.

Clearly no amount of effort is enough to keep some players informed.
    True, but still I see "potentials" here in providing the right info. It's not like there's no typos et c in this game.
    25/11-14 , 23/02-16 .. The end is coming and it will look like this .

    Because they don't read the forums. So far I haven't seen anyone asking about this in not-so-good english and really, if the format that's used isn't user-friendly concerning that dates, I don't know what is. You don't even need to scroll down at all!

    I think they do now do a timer for end of events, it's just that people don't understand it for some reason, different time zones?
