Staff work is voluntary. This means that staff can only come on when they want to. It is sadly enough a fact that a lot of users that play at night don't apply for staff, and those that do usually do not get accepted because of multiple variables. However sometimes when a user applies and we see they're from a certain, none-European timezone we do keep that in mind whilst voting in the meeting.
TL;DR: We can't really do anything here. All we can hope for is that more users that play at night apply for staff.
Raeker pretty much pinned the tail on the donkey with his statement.
I'm one of the few NA staff we actually have and while I try to be on as much as I can, especially during the night periods, I can't always be on.
There are those who either play during the evening times or those actually from NA who play during these times, but there's a lot of reasons why some of those player's either a) Won't apply for staff or b) Know they wouldn't get staff. I'm always glad when I see some of those player's applying for staff, but there's not to many of those who actually would want to be staff, let alone get accepted as staff especially due to recent punishment's.
