Who's planning to watch it? It's 11am PST (2pm EST, 7pm BST) (hopefully!).

Just as a request to Estarra, if you could remind someone to flick record this time, that'd be much appreciated. smile.gif

Why do you yanks keep using your own times and not the internationally standard "GMT"? sad.gif
Ilyarin2011-08-06 14:37:11
Because it's the summer. sad.gif

More likely, it's easier to think in terms of your local time, and IRE's central location is California in the US.



Ilyarin2011-08-06 14:39:43
Yeah. That makes more sense than Ssaliss calling me a yank. tongue.gif
Ssaliss2011-08-06 14:40:14
Too bad there's so many of us that don't live in Cali then tongue.gif Could someone please translate the above times to GMT?

EDIT: And the "You yanks" comment wasn't directed to anyone in particular. It's just that everytime I see someone from the US trying to tell people what time it is, they use PST as if that explains it all.

6pm GMT.
Ssaliss2011-08-06 14:42:06
Thank you!

Also make sure they are taking into account PDT instead of PST, as we observe Daylight Savings Time in the states. (They should always say PDT instead of PST).

Ilyarin2011-08-06 15:03:00
That was my other concern. Do you think they mean the DST equivalent? sad.gif
Ilyarin2011-08-06 15:03:55
They should just provide the time in UTC and let players do a simple conversation as needed. Hmph. sad.gif
Ssaliss2011-08-06 15:13:34
Isn't UTC more or less identical to GMT anyway for normal (i.e. non-scientific people who might not care about the one-tenth second difference)?

Yeah. UTC basically uses a "leap second." Much akin to a leap year, obviously.

I'm pretty sure they mean the time "in the states", which is Daylight Savings in effect.

Let's just be sure to look at this chart.

They mean an hour and a half from the time I'm posting this.

Easy resolution. smile.gif

Choke's fine, heard it there first. See you next envoybattle.

Unknown2011-08-06 19:21:57
Pretty good meeting. Good job gang!
Ssaliss2011-08-06 19:23:46
Too bad about the fan though.

I missed part of that answer - something about a meeting and a decision that choke was fine. Who was at the meeting, the envoys?
Unknown2011-08-06 19:45:24
Just the admin responsible for coding whatever changes are deemed necessary (Roark, Sior, Estarra), the guys above the envoys.
