I vote for Downs Time.

If we go with real time, we have no way of knowing whose clock says what. I know for a fact from Nogrod's posts about time that my clock is 3 minutes faster than his. The Down's clock is a universal standard that is easy for everyone to see, and with each post being time-stamped, it's even easier to compare to the Downs clock to see which votes made it by deadline. Otherwise we could have arguments starting, "Well my clock said it was 10:56 GMT! My vote should count!" and so on and so forth. Using the Downs Clock avoids this kind of thing all together.

Honestly, this game is going to be crazy enough with out everyone trying to figure out what time it is and whose clock is fast or slow. Best to avoid extra confusion.
