Where I live update times are at 12:00am, and 12:00pm. I think it's fairly safe for me to say the Eastern Time Zone is a highly populated time zone. So people in the time zone can participate in maybe one update; however, I doubt they're able to participate in both.
Therefore I would like to suggest that the update time be changed once a month. To open up the window to those who currently aren't able to participate in the window. If they don't like it one month then they can simply wait for the next month.

I like it being based around Central. >.> Well at least for part of the year it occurs around 12 local time. Not sure if the whole year.

But you do know that takes time to program, right? More than Max or any of his friends would think is necessary?

I imagine it was discarded due to either player objections or not worth coding....but if you are interested it will be buried somewhere in that section of the forum.

As it is; update already shifts by one or two hours (depending on if you have DST) twice a year for everybody not in America, I see this idea as just an expansion of that.

Many GPers are on EST, if you can't make it, you just don't care enough.
A rolling update would be destructive to GP, and anyone who has ever tried to organize anything GP related would understand that.
Either stay up or work the minor, or find another way to be useful, but the update needs to happen at a reliable time or else planning update operations and getting new people interested will become too great a difficulty for any meaningful GP to occur with regularity.
