Time zones and the like.

So I guess it's clear that I'm not quite a member here yet, which makes me unsure if it's even really appropriate to be posting on the forums or anything, but I'd like to say that I've been a pretty devout reader of RPS since I discovered the site and after a few past failed attempts to get into the game, I finally found myself deep into ARMA 2 this Spring and I've been playing it rather consistently since, although only in small groups with my friends doing co-op missions, domination, and whatever else the game offers to a small group of players, wasteland more lately, while I've absolutely fallen in love with the game, seeing just how much it offers in terms of pretty much anything I could ever imagine or wish for.
Knowing this, I'd always wanted to get myself involved in a larger and more organized group, and doing all of the large scale stuff the game has to offer that I've yet to dip my toes into, along with keeping with my friends so I can have fun with them, but a lot of the commitments or strictness I saw in them led me to a lot of uncertainty with such groups, so I mostly held off all of that, although seeing RPS' year end post for this group and checking it all out, I figured this place looked awesome and pretty perfect for what I was looking for, although sadly, I found that the one thing that I presumed would be an issue for me did rear it's head when I was reading the description stickies, being that I can hardly get myself, let alone any of my friends ready to play games in the afternoon, almost all of us being in America.
I guess it's a huge wall of text for a simple question which wasn't answered for me in the sticky, especially when I assume that there are probably a lot of other people living in the American time zones, if that the Folk RPS group does a lot of events and missions at times that would be in the evening or night over here?
