A. Trouble with Bingo Start Date

That's a very good point Practical1.

In fact the bingo boards are called  BingoBoard_1217 and  SuperBoard_1217 inside the game. The numerical suffix of 1217 indicates December 17th.

Some users did start on the 17th (PST and EST), but other users like OiOi in Australia are a whoooping 14 hours later so did not see Bingo until the 18th. It would be simplest to adopt a start data that agrees with the suffix on the board names since we have villagers in all the different time zones. The board names themselves, might be the best indicator of the intended start date as they provide an unambiguous source.

B. As to the stop data and time, you really need to be cautious. There have been many instances in the past where the game has ended early - even a whole day early. They just seem to yank it. Way back when they offered the Spinosaurus, I missed it hoping for one last play to reach Bingo - but alas, no spino.
