Time zones

[WickedImposter]

we all seem to have trouble finding what time it is in our different time zones. so this thread will try to fix that. right now it is exactly 12:00 pm my time (kingston, ontario, canada). i believe that your cpu will change the post time for you. so if you were reading this exactly the time i posted it, it would read what your time is, not 12:00 pm (i think). anyways, please just post what time i posted this (your time) and your state/province etc. if the cpu dosent change the time for you, could a moderator please close this. if a moderator finds this irrelevant, please also feel free to close it.

Wicked, 10 min later. My post USA, Utah, Logan.

[MatGeo]

GMT +2 for me....

[U-238]

okay so you two are in the eastern time zone. (gmt -5) I'm in the central (gmt -6). So I'm one hour behind you two.

[Siege_Commander]

9:05am

[MatGeo]

9:05am

lol u're supposed to provide a timezone...as the diffrence between u'r time and GMT for example... :P

[Ktan]

How about you just put your timezones in your signitures?

[Basan]

How about reading GD's announcement (http://www.warboards.org/announcement.php?f=19&a=64) instead? :P And far more accurate too.

[Ktan]

Still, that only helps if you know what timezone your victim is.

I quite like my 'Timezone in sigs' idea :D

[Siege_Commander]

I dont get it:P it said 1:00PM fremont ca, but its like 315;)

Edit:im gmt-8 then ^^

[WickedImposter]

ya imk -5 so commanders 3 hours behind shells is 2. and matgeo is what, 7 hours ahead of me. got it

[MatGeo]

and matgeo is what, 7 hours ahead of me. got it

yep that's what i got for living in eastern europe...lol...

[WickedImposter]

lol. atleast your 7:00 is my noon. thats pretty good for both of us.

edit: whoops seems like im actually at GMT-4. so mat is 8 hours ahead, siegy 4 behind, shells 3 behind.

[Ktan]

I'll say it again...do you not think putting it in your timezone your sigs would be a more permanent solution? This thread won't be around forever.

[Basan]

yep that's what i got for living in eastern europe...lol...

Another european... :cool:. And anyway, that doesn't exactly give up your location, which is it (as in, CET - what or GMT - what)? Btw, I'm in GMT + 0 (aka London time). As a friendly side note, I've always managed to keep track of WB's ppl to whom I play with through PM's mostly (read, planning meetings ahead). ;)

Hence the search feature was made... :P that and the announcements (which commonly last a lot more than a thread's regular life span). :D

[Ktan]

Yes, I know Basan, but wouldn't it be more convenient? Unless you bookmarked this thread.

All you'd have to do is find one single post by the person et voila, timezone.

[blupp74]

So, where in the darndest heck is everyone??

[Skullflower]

PST right here.

And the way I have the only thing I have to do is trade PM's with WB's folks and after having their details in one of'em, I'll dl' the lot into a tiny *.txt that I can compose at will to keep track of'em and their B.Net nicks... copy-pasting from threads too, eventually. ;)

[WickedImposter]

lol ktan. too bad you dont bother following your own advice ;P anyways ya ill put it in my sig

Lol, I admire the lengths you've gone to but it might be easier for newbies to get into the system this way. I'm just suggesting. A lot, admitedly.

lol ktan. too bad you dont bother following your own advice

Why bother? I never go on B.net anymore.

Nevertheless, I will entertain you by doing so.

[WickedImposter]

lol ktan. it dosent fit into your sig >.< anyways why dont you go to bnet? how you get better then? LAN parties?

[Basan]

Lol, I admire the lengths you've gone to but it might be easier for newbies to get into the system this way. I'm just suggesting. A lot, admitedly.

Might be easier, but almost no newcomers will jump into this bandwagon to play with fellas from a forum that they barely met before in their lives. For that, they have B.Net or other alternate servers. :P
As a matter of fact, I've only started doing it with fellas that kept around and saw that they were generally nice (as in, friendly). And even in those cases, it just isn't possible to keep track of'em all. :)

[Siege_Commander]

I put my time in my siggy:)

[WickedImposter]

lol commander. "if i ever play"

@basan: so your saying you dont play on bnet? and, btw, bnet is not only for that. a lot of ppl hang out in op swbk, and i find im playing daily games of TMM with musty, mat, and sharpie.

EDIT: FINE FINE so skiddy, ahzz, and lammy drop by usually, but we seldom let them macro :P

[Siege_Commander]

TMM? oh that was so fun. *Learns teh uber OG Macro to make TMM more fun*

[U-238]

and me? you didn't mention me in those tmms. :P I get in there and play one or two games when I visit east.

[Siege_Commander]

Hope you be on tomorrow when i go on sky. Can you make it around 7-8 your time?

[MidnightGladius]

PST/PDT for me. -8:00 GMT.

[MatGeo]

Ya wicked, u-238 was there too...
And the part where i laughed the most was when u didn't wanna let ahzz play coz his macro was godlike and the teams would be rigged(he would've been on my team.... >.< dam u)...
Oh and making a pubby game with lammy on our team was just cruel... XD

[WickedImposter]

LOL! we pwned them because the other macro like sunken pushed. that was funny though. and it wasent me, it was like sharpie. oh and then after we played a 2v2 me and DFIK v musty and Titan.

*K'tan concedes.

Meh, you can still tell I'm on GMT, right? I can resize it.

I rarely go online because I just play for fun now. I don't care how good I am, it's the story I like, so I'll just stick to memeories of the campaign.

[Siege_Commander]

Middy, where in us are you? cuz im gmt-8 too:P

[Basan]

I didn't meant to sound all prick like (but instead trying to show what usually goes by, alas or not). :P
Anyway and according to your location, I assume that you're also at 0 GMT (aka London time) like me. ;)
Am also currently playing online more WC3-TFT lately than exactly SC-BW (read, almost exclusively at B.Net), but we could try to play a few games of each provided you have both, which if memory serves me right I believe you do. And I do use the same nick as here followed by the ".WB" tag for both games. Later on, tell me what ya think 'bout it. :smirk:

[Ktan]

Oh, I didn't take it the wrong way, don't worry Basan :)

Yeah, I'm in Britain, home of the GMT 0 :D

[Siege_Commander]

Lol. So you are 8 hours ahead of me:o

[Ktan]

In a word:

Yes :D

[Siege_Commander]

Do you play on east?

[Ktan]

I play on Europe, usually, but I have an east account.

[Siege_Commander]

Lol. You just posted you live in brit but i asked if you played on east. Silly me:P

[Basan]

Anyway folks let's cut to the chase, can we arrange a lil' game this Friday or somethin'? ;)

[WickedImposter]

maybe this coming friday. Semptember eigth? ill be on at arond 4:30-5:30 GMT-4

[MatGeo]

GAH! i won't be on i'm gonna be at my cousin and his bnet doesn't work.... :(

[Siege_Commander]

awww. Dang. Basan, whats your sn on bnet? And even though i do play weekends, im nnot sure what time and when im gonna be on. Someone should make a bot for the op org.network channel:P

[MatGeo]

>.>

There exists a bot for the op org channel kismet has a bot there... grim terror too..it's just that people don't visit op org.network anymore we stay on op swbk... more ppl there thus more game opportunitites...

[Basan]

awww. Dang. Basan, whats your sn on bnet? And even though i do play weekends, im nnot sure what time and when im gonna be on. Someone should make a bot for the op org.network channel:P

I don't know either. You tell me. ;) Since I'm alone in the house for the next fourthnight or pretty close to it what I do is only up with me... as if it were any different when this doesn't happen (dishes and laundry can wait a few hours :P). :smirk:

[WickedImposter]

lol. anyways, any fridays are a sure thing for me. and saturdays.
