i have for a couple years now been struggling with different timezones that all have their flaws.
now i live in toronto and i find that at my most chill hours i'm hanging out by myself!
for some proof just go to #battle on discord and search something like "tej any battlers" and be saddened by the evidence of me up late at night waiting for all the europeans to wake up.
anyways, i'm not here to just be upset over problems and not offer any solutions! i've come up with the solution, and i will explain it to you now.
take a look at this.

that is the world, and you may know a little about it but i'll tell you how it works. i am living on the left side, and most elma players are living on the right side. anyways, here's the solution.
unfortunately, the solution will not be free of sacrifices. but i'll definitely not be sacrificing myself, that's for sure! the most obvious first step is to remove quebec from the picture.

alright, now that that is done, let's consider how we might attack this timezone problem.
in the next image i've highlighted some area that i'm willing to let go.

sorry, fish and greenland. you are very in the way and i'll just need that space.
alright, in this image i've highlighted an area that we will use a cutting device to make a large incision to the surface of the world.

i've left all the land alone this time, so no non-aquatic sacrifices will need to be made here.
now that we've made the cut, we're just going to slide the old world right up beside the new one.

ok, so there might be some questions. i'll do my best to answer the ones i can foresee.
Q: what happened to the central american pacific islands?
A: they had to be removed to make way for the beautiful deserts of northwest africa.
Q: where will the people of french guinea go?
A: i am not sure, but they will definitely need to go somewhere. luckily large endless sand dunes will end up very close to their current location.
Q: why does the old world have to move, why can't you come over to us?
A: i honestly think that we can come to a good compromise. instead of switching who has to move, let's redefine the longitudinal lines so that it appears as if the west moved eastward, instead.
Q: what is happening in the southern hemisphere during this move?
A: i did not find a map of what is down there, so i hadn't considered it until i thought of this question. really any number of solutions can be found, but we'll leave that to them to decide when we begin the move.
in case any people are left in bad conditions due to the shift we are going to be doing here, i've decided to return the empty glacier of greenland to the map. i decided to move it closer to the equator to ensure the land is more inhabitable, and hopefully people can settle there effectively.

alright, let me know if you have any improvements to the plans i've put forward here.
we should be able to all play in similar timezones in no time at all!
