I'm curious if anyone else is convinced that the anwser is, in fact, yes.

Mid-afternoon on Sybil is fucking hell. Late late at night, really great.

Timezones please, "Mid-afternoon Sibyl" might be "Early morning Sibyl" for others

It's just the popluation. Higher population = more antags = faster rounds = less roleplay = higher chance to get randomly murdered = gotta play 2 win.

If you really value this playstyle you can play on badger, I like playing both ways though, as both an aggressive antag dunker during normal hours, and a well-mannered lawyer at later hours.

PST, for me

50 player mid-afternoon is a very diff. scene from 30-50 late-night. It's like all the illiterate griefer shits come out in the early afternoon.

California here, server pop peaks in the afternoon (4-6 PM) at around 80 people for me and dips to sometimes 30 people around maybe 10 or 11 PM. High population games are usually okay at best. The quality of the server population really picks up around 1 or 2 AM though because that's when Reed Glover usually plays

40 player early morning GMT is a breeze.
Americans wake up and suddenly pow shitlers everywhere.

With my schedule, when I occasionally show up to play it's about 7-8pm PST on weekdays. So yea. Prime TIme, Prime Shitlers.

While I can't tell for player quality, I can tell that when the server population ranges from around 20 to 40 that not only is the amount of antagonists generally very low, but the round times are very long and often uneventful. Two hour rounds are the norm with three or so traitors.

This isn't about server population....

Oh yeah, forgot to say its around midday to the late afternoon of my time zone, around GMT+8.

The best time to play is precisely 3:57 PM UTC +02:00

The worst time to play is exactly 9:22 AM UTC -10:00

This is science.

Late night (read, early morning, and I'm GMT+1) on Basil is FUCKNOPE. Afternoon is pretty decent.

Sybil seems to get really shitty at exactly 4PM EST and doesn't get playable again until 3AM.

If I counted the number of times I've had to respond to ahelps in different given timezones. Anything from about 3pm PST until about 9pm is pretty awful. The night crew after that is pretty chill though.

Weekends are cancer.

Yes.

The server is objectively better when Australians are on.

Remie Richards · Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:47 pm

I play anywhere between 1 AM GMT to 6 PM GMT on Basil, besides the random people who don't speak english and are general shitters, it's usually fine.

Oh boy 2012 what a fine time, the shit that started there when the server died forever and TLE stopped hosting and all that jazz.

2011 is the place to be mate.

Australians are the worst people on the planet besides Italians and Jews this 100% fact

Tend to end up with permabans as they don't speak english in-game or speak english to the admins when PMed.

They also ALWAYS come in pairs, Russians sometimes with two or three.
