      IRC Nickname: Karlfischer Group: Ex-Member Posts: 664 Member No.: 124 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 55    | The times on the warzone topic itself were wrong! I am amazed that no one noticed this. 2pm EST corresponds to 6pm GMT. It was listed on the topic as 7pm GMT. Since the war is at 7pm GMT, the war should have been at 3pm EST. Someone fucked up on the timezones. Next time lets makes sure we double check the timezones so we do not have the problem today. I think the main problem is that people do not understand that British time is not the same as GMT. Look at this site, it will clear up your confusion and help us get the timezones straight for the next war. http://wwp.britishsummertime.co.uk/ --------------------   | ||

Yeah... -------------------- | ||

Actually, that is not correct. No worries, I know timezones are ridiculous and confusing. At the moment EST is 4 hours behind GMT. British time is still 1 hour ahead of GMT. So if it is 7pm EST now, it is 11pm GMT. EDIT: As you can see from the time stamp. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Valdremia Group: Ex-Member Posts: 289 Member No.: 64 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 9 | Karl's right with -4 hours with EST to GMT. I would suggests that some kind of timeclock link is used. I used to use this particular link in the past whenever: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/ ^ It compares, your own local time to EST to GMT. Also takes daylights into consideration automatically. - There use to be time clocks of different regions on the forums. -------------------- "I will listen to you, especially when we disagree." - Barack Obama  | ||
