But for now.... please elect a Head Mutant.... deadline is 2 AM GMT (oh yes we are playing in GMT now - go look it up - all deadlines will be in GMT for this game and the cycles will be a bit different - more explanation to come)

To elect someone - say elect mutant or ****elect mutant**** if on phone!

elect FTB
I think I'd be a good leader!

 

[wolfspeaker]

For those time zone challenged like me. I had to look it up.

GMT is 5 hours AHEAD of CST. So right now it is 2:08pm CST and 7:08pm GMT.

I have this bookmarked now.

Incorrect.

GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST.

6 hours ahead of CST
8 Hours of PST.

 

[ksmi117]

GMT, oh goodness... this shall be interesting especially if any of us get drunk. I'll get so confused...

I'm going to elect dyachei.

 

[shortnsweet]

** it's 8:15pm here right now if that helps you guys.


And i've never been leader before, so i'm gonna give it a try I think 😀

Elect SnS

 

[Philliab]

FTB, your avatar seriously scares me.

Everything I've found says GMT is 5 ahead of CST...

Elect SnS

I can back this. 🙂 Elect SnS.

 

[Sheepdogpsu]

I think SnS would know what time it is in GMT as she lives there, and it is 5 hours ahead of EST

elect SnS

Are you guys on the same Daylight savings time as EST right now? Or is there an hour change? I know it's 8:20 here right now. Soooo 😉

 

[nohika]

Are you guys on the same Daylight savings time as EST right now? Or is there an hour change? I know it's 8:20 here right now. Soooo 😉

Yup. It's 12:19 here.

I have an online friend who lives in GMT, so I've gotten used to calculating the time difference. 🙄

 

[ksmi117]

Why do all the websites say something different?? 🙁

I will accept that the people who live there know what they are talking about, but it's just so confusing when the internets say something different. The internets are never supposed to be wrong!!!! 🙄

Better?

Elect SnS

But that website says that your time is London Time(LT) not GMT. It says GMT is now 7:24pm.

*goes off to research*

My guess is you are looking at the daylight savings times when EST is 4 hours and CST is 5hours??? That's all I got. 😳

Greenwich is in London.....UK and Ireland are all on the same time.

 

[wolfspeaker]

Aha!! I figured out why there is a discrepancy. Only SOME of GMT is actually on GMT currently, because of Daylight Savings Time. London is currently on Daylight Savings. They go on GMT in the winter.

 

[LetItSnow]

GMT, oh goodness... this shall be interesting especially if any of us get drunk. I'll get so confused...

I'm going to elect dyachei.

I would love to be elected, but since I got smirked at for self-nominating last time 'round... 😉

elect dyachei

 

[Philliab]

Better?

Thank you!

 

[LetItSnow]

A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) I switched something like 1200 servers at my last employer from GMT to UTC. I can't remember why now. I wonder if avoiding confusion like that was the reason?

 

[wolfspeaker]

Does anyone know, for sure, exactly what time it is for Devyn, right now? That would help solve this confusion of which one is being used. LMAO

Elect SnS

YUP! Devyn is in DST: Drinking Standard Time

 

[nyanko]

Set world clock widget for Dublin. Profit.

Every time I nominate myself nobody ever votes for me because I don't make empty promises. So I'll elect LIS since he wanted to run but didn't want to look like a toolbox nominating himself.

 

[nyanko]

Also the world clock widget says it is currently 8:35 pm in Dublin, where devyn is.

Thank You Nyanko! I must get this world clock widget for these games I think.

 

[shortnsweet]

Lol ohhhh time zones

 

[DVMDream]

Brief moment between errands:

elect dyachei

 

[Ivorypolarbear]

Also the world clock widget says it is currently 8:35 pm in Dublin, where devyn is.

Alright, so the deadlines will be six hours ahead of me, not five. Thanks!

And since he wanted to run but didn't want to vote for himself, I think I'll
elect LIS.

At lunch for a few minutes, then back to work in the clinic...

elect SnS

 

[dyachei]

****elect dyachei****** if self voting is allowed

Election Voting

SNS 5 (zany, wolfie, sheepdog, nohika, s&S)
Dyachei 3 (DVMD, ksmi, dyachei)
LIS 2 (IPB, nyanko)
FTB 1 (FTB)

Even though y'all have figured out what time it is in Dublin, Devyn said GMT, so I am using GMT until I hear further. We are on EDT, not standard time.
so:
EDT = GMT- 4
PDT = GMT -7
the rest of you figure it out from there.

Deadline is 0200 GMT. It is currently 2000 GMT. 6 hours to deadline.

Note: My avatar is an owl...... I am WATCHING ALL OF YOU!!!!! So be good.

But i'm in GMT 🙁 It's 9pm.

IPB has one powerful vote to count twice...

 

[Philliab]

elect dyachei

 

[wolfspeaker]

I'm going to assume we are going off of Dublin time, though. As it is Devyn's game. And it is 9:06pm there currently, so it would be 5 hours till deadline.

 

[Ivorypolarbear]

It looks like he counted nyanko's vote, but forgot to put her name in the list. Also, I think LIS voted for dyachei too.

And from what SOV is saying, deadline's five hours ahead of me, not six. So confused... 😕

 

[devyn]

YUP! Devyn is in DST: Drinking Standard Time

This is so true!

To clear any confusion... Deadline is Dublin time whatever the feck that is. It is 9:10 pm right now. So there you have it! 😀

What Devyn says, goes.... So we are using Dublin time, which is currently GMT+1
so:
EDT = Dublin- 5
PDT = Dublin -8


Deadline is 0200 Dublin time. It is currently 2100 Dublin time. 5 hours to deadline.

Note: My avatar is an owl...... I am WATCHING ALL OF YOU!!!!! So be good.

 

[DVMDream]

Yes. Deadline is 5 hours away (slightly less). It should be 9pm in dublin right now.

 

[StartingoverVet]

But i'm in GMT 🙁 It's 9pm.

You are not in GMT in the summer months. GMT NEVER changes for daylight savings. That is the idea with a universal clock. That is where the confusion lies.

Anyway, Devyn has decided we are using Dublin time, not GMT.

 

[wolfspeaker]

I now have 4 clocks on my desktop screen
Seattle, WA
Boston, MA
Dublin, Ireland
Sydney, AU

No more confusion for me!
And they are in pretty colors. 😍

 

[nyanko]

So perpetually drunk she doesn't even know what time zone she is in.

 

[DVMDream]

SOV, devyn said it is 9Pm, that would be 2100 and 5 hours until deadline.

 

[nyanko]

SOV, devyn said it is 9Pm, that would be 2100 and 5 hours until deadline.

And SOV is so old he can't convert to military time.

 

[nyanko]

Hapless WW players: "Hey mods what time is it??"

devyn: *stumbles* "August..." *falls over*
SOV: "spongebath time at the nursing home.."
