End time of the game jam

Hi all,

Looking for some feedback on the end time of the jam. I've moved it to midnight on Sunday but this is Sydney/Australian timezone.
From what I understand this would mean that for those in Europa/US timezones we'll be ending the jam early/mid Sunday.

I'm contemplating adding another 12 or so hours to the deadline so everyone can use their weekend to the fullest.
The same with the voting deadline, to give everyone a chance to play some of the entries, I'm thinking of moving this 2 full days after the submission deadline.

How does everyone feel about this, I know this is a bit of a late change.

I think that's a good to give everyone a bit more time to utilize the full weekend regardless of timezone. +1 on adding 12 more hours

Don't know if there's anyone like me, but I requested a tilt five the same day they tweeted they're supplying loaners for the jam and It won't be arriving till after the jam has ended. I'm guessing Thanksgiving kinda got in the way - sucks not being able to participate but If it's just me then oh well, still get to try it 馃槄 Also +1 to the extra 12 hours

Ok somehow I lost a post of mine, anyway Malcolm and I decided to extend the deadline by 9 hours. This means the jam will take exactly 3 days, so we're hoping that makes it fair, some people will have more time at the start, some more at the end, but in essence everyone has the same number of waking hours. 

Less then 22 hours to go before the start :)
