I couldn't login Codeforces for 3 hours. The round was delayed by 8 hours. Someone opened the contest in the first minute and got all the problem statements.

It must be not a dream because I just can't come up with it.

Someone asked me why we are very angry about this delay. Actually, it's okay. The regular round starts at this time.

However, breach of contract is highly unethical. In China, many people gave up their lunch break to play this game. For many people, taking a nap is actually very important, but there is no need to go back and continue sleeping during this time.

Of course, it's impossible to be so angry just because of a nap. Another issue is that someone has already obtained all the test questions and released them on some public media platforms (such as QQ), making this session almost useless.

Furthermore, for me, um, actually I really want to participate in a Div.1 during the day. If my mental state is not good at night, my rating will drop completely.

It is believed that the problem supporter himself also hopes that this contest will be friendly to the Chinese people, but now it has become an ordinary Div. 1+2 contest that is just about friendly to the Chinese people (because of its long duration, it is not very friendly in fact).

I have seen the apology on the homepage. However, more people are not satisfied with this. Going back on his word is a sign of dishonesty, and for us, it is the worst behavior. Especially in situations where the game has already started for one minute before being delayed. If we could have known in advance that the server would be stuck like this (I believe everyone could have guessed), the delay half an hour before the start of the contest might have reduced everyone's response by half compared to now.

Everyone around me is swearing at Mike. To be honest, I don't want this to happen. It's also an impolite behavior.

    I've heard that Zhili had already spread the message like "this round is going to be held on Codeforces simultaneously" or so on Weixin for some days. Can't imagine how mad they would be when hearing this message.
