It doesn't really matter if there is a particular time frame that needs more coverage, because it is difficult enough to find anyone the majority of players will vote for and trust to be GM, without making that search area-specific. As well, where a person is from does not dictate what hours they spend online, which is another big factor.

I do think we should pay attention to candidates that fit those hours, but all the same, I will not vote for anyone just based off where they are from.

Agreed a great example is mrgrey, hes from canada but hes in the european time frame. I to am in the european time frame since i work until 3am in the morning. Doesn't matter where the persons from its the hour coverage thats important and the other things i mentioned in my last post.

The result of the poll and my own experience show clearly that there is a hole in the 6-13 GMT interval despite your efforts, mrgrey. Mom's presence in this hole, even if frequent (no more than you though) is random. And it is normal. I can ensure you that bots know it too. Filling the holes is not the only problem, languages was another sometimes ago.
Now with the decrease of player number, these problems went less critical; the need of new GMs has become less critical too
Now to make it clear to anybody, if you had any doubt:
I never saw much interest in being a GM, I have may have accepted to help player community when Tia opened a poll about me. I have no more illusions of what I could do as a GM. Thus I do not want to be a game master.
Try to open a poll and I'll ask for it to be closed.
Derpella, Genesis, and some other european players or Sunako (later, if she still is in Hawai and knows game better) could make nice ones.
If you don't believe me try to play and speak with them a bit.
