I understand clearly this 23-hour Day/Night -cycle as I've modded myself before...

But do you live in a place where you observe the daylight savings time or are you in an area where they use EDT instead during the summer?

Note that most places observe daylight saving time/summer time during summer, and are therefore using EDT instead in the summer.

Now UTC is the same thing as GMT. So if the Days and Nights begin at 10AM EST, will it be then 3PM GMT (UTC) as I quess (without daylight savings it would be 2PM GMT (UTC))?

To me the timetable is just nice as I myself live in an area +3 GMT so the Days and Nights will start at 6PM and posting will have to cease at 5PM. For someone having a holiday that's perfect - waking up at midday, having the coffee and reading the newspaper and then to start the Day or rush to the last minute action!

I just hope we get a few players somewhat quickly as I myself and think at least Rune will have problems if this is going to start later than sooner...

A quick way of figuring out my time is this:

My clock, right now, says 3:25 PM. So whatever time your clock says I posted, there's your math.

To me it says 10.25 PM - and as I am in +3GMT that means the time was 7:25 PM GMT.

Making the little add-ons and subtractions and whatever one could do... it follows that the difference is -4 hours to GMT - from 3 to 7 that is - and thence -5 for Britain and -7 for Finland.

So:
9 AM EST (for Fea and thence the game - as most of the EST-regions in the U.S. will be on daylight savings but Fea seemingly is not) is:
= 1PM GMT
= 2 PM Great Britain
= 3 PM Central Europe
= 4 PM Finland

I hope I got it right...

Only problem is I refuse to alter clocks to BST as I think its a sinister modernism...I'll leave you to think if that is what I really think or not...

So anyway, it ought to have been 8.25 so my guess at a five hour difference was correct.

There, I really am a Time Lord

I just smile and do what the government tells me.

Question. What do you guys want, mod chosen wolves and cobbler or ones chosen by chance?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is really up to you. . . .but I actually like the fact that they are mod chosen, it opens up for more speculation.

It's becoming a habit of mine to disagree with Rune - even if we seem to share most of our basic ideals about life, politics, religion, ethics etc.

But randomness is the state of the art I'd say! That's the way of doing it. No mod-choices but pure random - possibly aided by the hand of the mod if the outcome looks too bad... and what is a bad line-up anyway? If it looks underwhelmed, then it might succeed just because of that?


But in any case we should know which way it is, because if it's the mod-choice we will kill the phantom and Spm first but if it isn't we might actually listen to them...
(this last statement is suspectible to change after we see who are attending)

We? Maybe I was talking with a too wide a mouth?

Well, I at least would be ready to hold certain people really suspicious if they were hand-picked by you...

[Brinniel]

I agree with Nogrod...randomness is better. This way people can't use meta-reasoning (whether they mean to or not) and the game will be much more exciting.
