I'll get right to the point: 24 hour talismans do not last 24 hours. I've now noticed this on every one of the three or four "24 hour" talismans I've activated. The first time, I didn't note the exact time, but I did it at a time where I expected to get three gameplaying sessions in, based on my schedule. When I signed on for the last one, which was early morning, the talisman had already expired. I was suspicious, but since I didn't note the exact time, I only vowed to check the time of my activation more diligently. The next time, same experience, and so on, including today.

I don't ever change the clock on my Kindle, and it's ticking along in perfect synchonization with every other timepiece in my home. So the fault is in the game. Plus, I'm fairly confident I am not the only one experiencing this. I don't know what is gained by cheating players a couple of hours on a talisman, but this sure seems like fraud to me (IANAL), false advertising at best.

Today, at 12:15 CDT, I activated "Symbol of Success" and now, at 2: 15, it shows "21 h:17 minutes." I'm not a math genius, but even I can tell that in just two actual hours, I lost about 40 minutes of possible game time. Over the course of a day, what does that come to, assuming the pace of loss is steady?

If someone has a reasonable explanation for this discrepency, I'm willing to listen. But it looks to me like we are being cheated.
