Title: POLL: What timezone are you in?
Post by: GodlikeDennis on August 29, 2010, 06:15:46 AM
For the purposes of knowing when the main bulk of this community are online, and for help arranging tourneys/battle events, please state the closest timezone to your region. For fun, why not add any timezone related difficulties you've faced before.

I'm Australian, and it's a giant pain whenever some event happens in Europe/America.

People in Hawaii are too busy being lepers and running away from lava to play CoH.

I just realised my poll is unfair. Nobody would actually admit to being from New Zealand :).

Well when you do start the tournament, give me a link to a world time converter or something.

This whole thing with organising the tournament gives me images of GodlikeDennis sitting in a dark map room occasionally glancing up at a series of world clocks and muttering; "soon...soon".

Quick time converter, depending on where in the states you are:
East coast = GMT-5
Middle of the country = GMT-6
West Coast = GMT-7
(I think, for exact divisions, wikipedia is your friend.)

Your other option would be to learn/work using GMT (as most of the world does by now :P )

Cheers

I loled hard, thank you.

Many of the timezones are listed here. As an East Coast American Seeme, you are in the GMT -5 timezone which means you are 5 hours behind England. So if I say to start the tourney at 12 midday on Saturday GMT, you would be 5 hours before that, at 7am. However, I can't account for daylight savings for every country but I'll try to arrange a countdown timer for everyone.

Oh sweet what part of NZ are you from. I'm in Wellington (obviously not christchurch or else I'd probably have no power after the earthquake)
