Guess we'll be starting tonight.  Which is perfect for CST as the GPU will be uploading a juicy WU at that time. 

I don't think it starts tonight. It starts tomorrow Dec 1 at 12 midnight East time 28 hours from now.
It did not say 12.00 AM Dec 1st 4 hours from now.
 
Right?

seems a bit strange to miss the first day of the month tho.
Suggestion to the organisers - should be able to add a countdown clock to the site fairly easily. Might avoid this confusion over which midnight we are starting.

Midnight Dec 1st is more than 24 hours away.
Tonight is midnight Nov 30th.
Unless you are in the UK right now, then is is Dec. 1st as of right now.

Been December here in France for a few hours already :-)

Or use an exact time like 12AM Dec 1st.
I take things too literally. Midnight is in the middle of the night, and you have to have a day before it becomes night.
But then again I think things through too much.

That is a Great Idea.

007quick - Thanks for the heads up - We'll have to put a placeholder in for you until your first points post, but we're good! Thanks for the info!

Also, 9pm EST has come and gone, the stats are locked in, I'm turning the keys until they don't turn any further, then locking them into place!
 
As far as official start time, I'm just firing my rigs up to max and letting em rock! I suggest everyone else do the same! Let's crush us some proteins!  
 
And, lads and ladies, All Time Zone affiliations aside, let's have a great time and kick some unsuspecting disease right in between the eyes!
 
FOLD ON!!!

All loaded up with core15's and ready to rumble.

OK Then I back from Finishing to Folding.

Oops, sorry for causing mass panic of when it starts.

Got a winter cold air blast tonight. Was a nice 70's degree day. Now it's below freezing and still getting colder.

As for if a power outage should occur, I'll just hookup the generator. I've done it before when tornados took out the power grid to keep on folding. As long as the Internet stays up, I can continue on backup power.

The commonly accepted standard in North America is that midnight occurs at 12:00 AM local time and signifies the start of a new day.

Just signed up for Pacific, hopefully not too late to be accepted.
