Can we extend the Grimoire time?
The last Grimoire voting time was way less than a week, so I never got to vote. I think we should be given at least 5-7 days or something like that.

I do not understand why it's only up for a weekend. That makes no sense to me. A full week would give everyone with their different schedules a chance to see that it's live and give their vote.

I agree, most people who play this game are probably not that involved with the community and may not have even known.

Yup. I had friends who missed voting at least one of the times. I didn't think to tell them because I assumed it was open for a week. The tweet is so long that the time limit is cut off, it's after the "Read more" link.
Sometimes I wonder if BHVR is a psychological experiment to see what happens when you make the worst design and UI/UX choices possible. Important information goes above the cut off, but instead they fill that area with flavor text.

It's partly on this short voting timeline to be able to get through all parts that need voting on prior to start production on the content.

I understand production constraints make it very difficult to keep The Grimoire opened for long, but I think that even as a hardcore DBD fan it is incredibly easy to miss these votes when they're happening.
I've only caught every vote because I'm actively checking socials in anticipation of the votes, but even then sometimes I miss the one single easy-to-miss post that announces each Grimoire Verse opening until the last day of voting.
Marketing for The Grimoire should be either more aggressive or stand out more, IMO, so more people are aware of both its existence and when it's happening. A single Twitter post that gets buried in a flurry of posts is easy to miss. Since it doesn't happen every weekend, we have no idea when to even expect voting to happen.
I think it would be nice if the Grimoire Votes were announced a few days in advance of when voting will actually open again, so people can plan ahead/know to look out for it, and build anticipation thru the week for the community.
Maybe a generic trailer of some sort to reach and hype up the wider community that's not actively playing, maybe a single re-usable or re-purposable Reel posted every week(end) that it opens? (If that's out of scope, that's understandable.)
If I wasn't actively perusing the AMA last week and saw that it was announced there on the Reddit AMA that voting would open, I would have completely missed the vote this last week.
