Ya know, given the current game situation we've got here. That would be an
interesting answer. Group's running around up around (even above at times)
the arctic circle. Damn, this does have potential...

I was under the impression that the sun did set a bit during this, it
just remained light until the sun rose up again, giving you sunrises
of around a month and 3-6 months of no night.

All IMHO (and often wrong). Anyone have concrete data rather than
heresay?
