Party/Empire European time play

Anyone have views on whether Party/Empire is tougher during typical European playing hours (8pm to 1am Europe = 2pm to 7pm EST)? And are there any stats that may support your conclusions? Or should I give up my well-paid day job, tell the boss to put it where the sun don't shine and play all night?

I can't answer your question but I do try to play early Saturday and Sunday mornings (8AM to 10AM GMT or 3AM to 5AM EST) hoping to catch a softer game than normal on the basis that US players are likely to be tired and/or drunk.

FWIW They often do appear to be drunk but still seem to beat me.

Here are some (entirely unsupported) guesses on my part. The best times to play are Friday and Saturday nights, by far [Americans are drunk]. The second best times to play weekday nights (about 9-2 ET or so) [Americans play before bed]. My third choice would be weekdays about 4-9 ET [Americans get home from work]. My fourth choice would be the weekend morning/afternoon games. Last I would take the weekday morning/afternoon games [Lots of "pros" around]. I used to play a lot of middle of the night games, and they were excellent, but this may not still be the case- I sleep a lot more now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Actually I'm playing a lot less overall so probably others can answer this question better than I did.
