5 hours would be a very short one, they typically just end when they end. I don't think a host has ever shut down a call when it was still busy, apart from that time sniffage decided to click end by mistake.

I think people expected the first one to last an hour or so. Everyone was a bit surprised it went for like 6 or 7.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
