@everything-you-feel-is-real I know by tumblr tradition that I'm to say "impossible, my posts never blow up like that," or "please don't do this to me."
But I feel in my bones that you are right. If this is to be my wife's moment of glory, I am willing to suffer notification overload, that the world may know she is funny. #MyFunnyWife

TL;DR: Kudos day glitched out, screwing over 14 servers and the support team wants to sweep it under the rug. Please sign this petition and consider joining our boycott so they take this seriously.
The long version:
Tokyo Debunker struggled with daylight savings. Among all of the glitches, players felt the worst of it during Kudos Day.
What is Kudos Day?
When GoC ends there is a day off before the next map starts. On this day guilds will compete to earn as many kudos as possible - if you place high enough, you get two starting towns / declarations. If you don’t hit a certain rank, you won’t get any towns on the map at all. There’s a handful of ways to earn kudos: fishing, wining in arena, beating galaxy express cases, and spending investigation tickets.
Okay, so what happened?
Kudos Day didn’t count. The details are messy, and I’ll get into it under the cut, but what matters is that the game didn’t properly register earned kudos. It either skipped the final hour or skipped an entire day. Hundreds of investigation tickets and diamonds were spent between arena, camping, and galaxy all with the intent of earning kudos and it didn’t count.
Our guild ranked top 3 in the final hour, but when the server rolled over? We weren’t even on the map. And we’re not alone in this. The affected servers are: 5, 7, 11, 15,16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 27, 35, 37, 41, and 44.
We’ve reached out to the devs. They told us they looked into it and didn’t see anything wrong. So we sent proof. They responded saying the game didn’t count the last hour (which is the most important part of the day, because players spend most of their tickets last minute to get an edge). They told us to let them know if it happened again and sent us on our way.
What’s the point of this post?
The game messed up and the team doesn’t care about fixing it. They’re not going to do anything unless it affects them financially. Inspired by Infinity Nikki’s girlcott, we’re hoping to make some noise, start a petition, and boycott spending real world currency on the game until they fix this. In a perfect world they’d update the map with correct standings, but realistically that won’t happen. We’re hoping for some kind of compensation - refunded diamonds and investigation tickets at the very least.
Please join us and spread the word. Let’s light a fire.

Which is a load of bull. Here's what our rankings looked like at the end of the day:
I don't have a photo of the map day 1, but HzbnHotel and The Swamp had no towns. That's not right.
Support replied:
...Yeah, so about that. We were using tickets up until server refreshed, which was at 1 am EST. Rollover was buggy, though. Dailies didn't refresh until 2 am EST. If I'm understanding this correctly, they're saying we were using tickets from 1 -2 am, but that's not true.
Here are some reactions to the bugged map. Notice the time stamps:
