Hey, Timezone’s?

Hey, i live in Norway, and this is my third Ludum Dare.
Since the Compo starts at 03:00 in the “Morning”, makes me lose some hours sleeping the first 6-7 hours.
How does the Timezone’s act into the Ludum Dare, or do we just have an Dis-vantage living in West-Europe?
Also, I’M IN.
Hi there
For me it begins @ 4 a.m, but it turns out it isn’t that bad. Others get to start sooner, but as we are able to start we are fully rested and got about 12 hours+ to hack and code away. Also, we got the whole sunday. Other people (i. e. America) have to stop on Sunday already, if YOU need to, you can work until 3 a.m. on Monday for the compo. So that’s pretty fair, in my opinion.
Greetings,
Folis
it starts 04:00 for us Norwegians.
It’s a bit early, but I’m going to get up from the start \o/
I *love* my 3am start time. Here’s why:
1) It’s late enough to mean there’s no reason to stay up waiting for the theme.
2) It’s early enough that even if I go to bed early I’ll be able to get started the moment I wake up; this is often 5:00am-6:00am, I’m a bit like a kid at Christmas on LD Saturdays.
3) It’s early enough that even if I’m crunching hard all the way to the finish line on Sunday night I’ll still get some sleep before Monday; typically though I aim to finish at midnight, and overrun about an hour.
Pretty ideal, no? I feel sorry for those non Europeans!
Thank’s for the Replies.
