Suggestion: Start time for Co-op challenge in Southern Hemisphere

Could there be a different start time for the Co-op Challenge for all that live in the Southern Hemisphere? When this challenge begins it will be at approximately 3-30am. Very few will be up at that time. For all to benefit in this challenge couldn't we have a different start time? Same goes for the packing machine and any other timed event that starts in the wee hours of the morning for us.

Oh and the finish time also ends in the early hours of the morning. So we all lose several hours in the final stages of the challenge.

Different time zones different start & finish times.

Just a thought. :)

    If the event starts at the same time for everyone, its going to be during the night for some people no matter what time it starts. But having said that, the one before last was 200 hours long, which is 8 full days + 8 hours, so if it starts during your night time, it must end during someone else`s night time, so overall everyone would be getting the same amount of daytime mission playing, which doesn`t seem to be too unfair.

    I don`t know if thats true for every challenge, I know the last one was a couple of days shorter, but I don`t know how many hours it was in total.

    How many co-ops have members all in one time zone? The two I'm in are both international. Members are doing missions when I am asleep just like I'm doing them when they are asleep (or at an appt or eating a meal). I'm not staying awake 24/7 for the duration just to do missions.

    GGS do seem to be a bit unaware that their game is played in every possible timezone.
    I think it was Gavin, on another thread, that pointed out that if all events ran for exact multiples of 24 hours, then everybody around the world would get the same number of waking hours while they ran.
    Similarly, the Architect could come every 8 hours in a 24 hour period, 3 times in total, so everyone would have the same chance of being awake when he turned up.

    It may have been Gavin as well, but the 24 hour point in the Hard Work thread was mine. And it applies to every event. I do think, GGS is changing things up, because they are hard at work de-linking the different servers so that they can treat each one differently with different time starts and stops. Its a bit cart before for the horse, but better they get the kinks out a bit at a time, I guess.
