So that will mean September 16 for me?

Midnight GMT on Sept. 15 = NOON on Sept. 15 in New Zealand.
You're 12 hours ahead of GMT.

I'm appointing you director of time zones!

The September 15th cutoff is for actually joining the group. Grammar Week begins in just under an hour.

Ladies and gentlemen, Grammar Week has begun. The Grammar Nazis are watching you, and they never sleep.

I am countering Grammar Week with Fact Checker Week. Fact: it's impossible to "never sleep." The record to go without sleep is about 11 days and live by Randy Gardner. There was this Japanese business man who was working on a merger (even though he was going to loose his job) worked days without sleeping and drop dead. He death was attributed to sleep deprivation.

And then there is this story:
Jiang Xiaoshan dies after watching every Euro 2012 match and going 11 nights without sleep | Mail Online
edit: Goofle do not attempt to do this^

Sorry PS; you missed one! Semper Correctis! (also there should be an "and" in between his job and worked, as shown)
