[[File:Blobkat announcing canvas downtime.png|thumb|alt=Blobkat announcing "@here 5 mins downtime while we perform some server infrastructure changes", zekiah later commenting how it was much longer.|[[BlobKat]] announcing about 5 mins downtime on canvas 1. It turned out to be at least 6 hours, with the applied "infastructure" changes being reverted anyway after]]
The timescale [[Zekiahepic|zekiahepic]] and [[BlobKat]] use when telling players how long the game will be down for right before taking the server down for some bullshit reason. The server never ends up being down for a few seconds, and it can range from being for a few minutes, to days... There is really no telling!

If [[Zekiahepic|zekiahepic]] caused the downtime, you can expect an apology, and perhaps even reduced cool down and legitimate updates to be made after the downtime. If the person who announced it was [[BlobKat]], then often nobody knows, not even [[Zekiahepic|zekiahepic]], what is going on.
