I just want it so that update isn't in the dead of the night for a good chunk of the player base.

For all those not in the know when NS updates you get new issues, the WA World Census and rankings are updated and, most importantly for the way I like to play the game, the delegacy is changed at said time.
Now, it should be said, I consider myself a player in the vast raider/defender “mini-game” that is contained within NS. We raiders and defenders had long been used to the update time that was traditionally 1-2 AM EST USA (that’s GTM -5) however, over the past few months we having been having to deal with an update that occurs at 4 AM EST. I know that the Brits and the Euros must love this time and the Aussies probably don’t care because update has always been in the PM for them but those living in the Americas *hate* this update time.
I have known many players who have simply given up on the raiding/defending mini-game completely and even quit the game because of this time slot. Its ungodly late and since most operations are carried out close to update to avoid being spotted by the other side this update time has put a very large kink in the way we do things.
So my question is to the mods and the great ADMIN, wherever he may be, what can be done about this issue so we can go back to the way things were?

So tonight it may be midnight, but tomorrow it will be 11pm, and then 10, that way everyone would get an update time... seems fair to me...
I like the random idea, but it sounds to complicated...

The thing is, though, we have a honking great new server, and I suspect we can now do daily updates any time we like without slowing things down. We can probably even do full daily updates twice a day, so Delegates would be elected every 12 hours, not 24.
What say you: would that be good?

Makes it more realistic. Instead of only being concerned for a half-hour or so, everybody could get paranoid all day long!
Seriously. It's about the only way to put EVERYBODY on an equal footing.

I wish I remember who wrote:Games like Nationstates are like a big cardboard box, and there are two kinds of people in the world. The kind who look at the empty void inside the box and ask "Where the hell is it?" and the kind who jump into the box with their friends and make it into a fort, or a spaceship.
