Just had a brief chat with the wife about the 'midnight' issue and she thinks I'm wrong, she says that midnight Tuesday means last thing Tuesday night. Looks like I'm married to a German who cant tell time!

As I posted above, I seem to agree with your wife. I’m a lawyer and I suspect those managing the MCSActions Twitter are as time-clueless as me

Another in agreement here. Basically, they have until the very end of Feb 12. I feel like we are trying to read tea leaves by guessing at when in that timeframe it might be. If they worked all weekend to fix their issue, then they could release them on Monday, but if they had a huge technical issue maybe they're also going to be checking things are okay and we won't get them until Tues. None of us will know until we start to get the damn emails.

Lets just all hope that I'm right, the sooner this comes to an end the better.

Last year the first post here was on Monday around 1 (am) and by Tuesday midnight technically means the last result should be no later than 1 minute after Monday (tomorrow) 23:59 (11:59 pm). So this would suggest that they will start sending out the emails in about 6 hours.

But it might just be a misunderstanding and what they wanted to say was that all results would be no later than the last minute of the official deadline day (Tuesday). We shall know soon.

Heres my prediction: First results will come out tonight/tomorrow morning somewhere around midnight/1am, and they will be finished by late tomorrow night. That prediction is based on a random thought/feeling I just had as I sit in my kitchen peeling carrots. Case closed.

Nobody there reported that there were maintanence information during the weekend. I thus suspect if they have already fixed the technical issues in their system. If everything is done, we may expect the god damn results in few hours, otherwise, we have to experience another sleepless night.

Peeling carrots. That would be a good way to make a more productive use of my time as I wait for results.

Don't forget GMT/CET time. Two more possibilities
