I think the thread that you are referring to was a debate on removing or reducing the frequency of holidays. It's the sort of thing that tends to come up around November.
I'll sticky this one instead
[EDIT] As of 2nd November 2014, the Fallen Friends days provide +1 BRT bonus INSTEAD of taking the war functions offline.
Massacre : Conquest2 is not effected by the rest of the games entering holiday mode.
Fallen Friends Days
BRT Increases for the day
Lady Fury (12th Jan)
Tekmet (29th May)
Rathowen (17th Aug)
Loupy (26th Sep)
Bo Ri Kat (27th Oct)

All automated holidays start and end at midnight server time which is based on 'Coordinated Universal Time' (UTC).
They are not based on your LOCAL time.
UTC is same as GMT (UK Time during the winter period) and does not change with Daylight Savings.
For example
00:00 UTC = 16:00 PST (Pacific Standard Time)
00:00 UTC = 17:00 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
00:00 UTC = 19:00 EST (Eastern Standard Time)
00:00 UTC = 20:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
00:00 UTC = 00:00 GMT (Greenwhich Mean Time)
00:00 UTC = 01:00 BST (British Summer Time)
00:00 UTC = 01:00 CET (Central European Time)
00:00 UTC = 02:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time)
