Why can't we know the exact time on events, this ~1 day left doesn't allow for planning in the FHWE, my clock was saying ~1 day and my fish were supposed to last ~1 day, same thing?  apparently not because without adding more fish the clock is still saying the event will end in ~1 day but my lobsters are now only lasting 22 hours.  I hate the fact that times are relegated to ~whatever.  Some events will get the exact time when you go to the tent or whatever they spring from, but not the hardworker events.  To most people ~1 day is around 24 hours, not 47 hours and 59 minutes, that is ~2 days.  It leaves you not knowing how much time is left until the clock ticks down to below 24 hours.

Many of us have posted the same thing in the suggestion section which I'm beginning to think is nothing more than a virtual paper shredder. In GGS speak, 1 day always means more than 24 hours, so it could mean 1 day and 23 hours, or 1 day and 1 minute -- your guess is as good as anybody's.

It has indeed been suggested many times & we have never been told that they wouldn`t do it, its probably just a priority thing. I have submitted it again on the new system, lets see if it does any better there.
