Know your timezone (stop saying EST and GMT)

Just go by server time ... oh wait.

Seriously though, I love the clock system in WoW and how you will be given both server time and local time. Essentially, when preparing for events, just tell them "server time" and anyone who is remotely punctual will show up to the event no problems.

Everyone goes by MAT. They just might not know it.

And then, at the higher levels, you have to deal with MAAT...

He doesn't have a time though. Unless you count that time that I kicked his ass. But he doesn't like to talk about that.

I prefer using MAT, which is Murphie Awesome Time. Which is pretty much all the time.

Right now it's 10:45 Murphie Awesome Time.

This post really confused me, the fact that Mhurron's avatar was a taru and 2k-tan was missing from the sig really threw me out of balance. o.O?

I could see where most NA/EU players don't have a problem with this, and I prolly wouldn't, either, but being in Japan and going by JST, it can (and has in the past) throw me off when some peeps use EST when they really meant EDT. Even timeanddate.com can (as it has once) fail to help me out if I'm unaware that they mean EDT (after being out of the States for so long, and not having to worry about DST, can make you forget it exists easily enough).

My main problem with people and their knowledge about summer time is that many people wrongly assumes that GMT also have summer time. So when anyone uses GMT relative time, I always have find out what time they really meant.

I dunno, bc I'm at work putting in some OT now.

Awesome OT at that.

BTW, I think we all owe Raydeus some thanks for that post, it was well done and just damn funny.

Maybe if you're an egomaniac.

Then why haven't you thanked him yet?

Wait, you're saying I shouldn't use EST because some people in New York have thier own special time zone?



Spring forward, Fall back.

Hmmmm.

I propose a new time zone with a new time frame. MMFFT.

Maximum Ma'fakkin Free Time. In the interest of having as much of a life as possible, the hours on the clock will be converted from 24 to 36.

The first twelve hours will remain standard, mornings suck and we need to bitch about something, but after 12pm, each hour will be halved, but still counted the same as a normal hour. Those that work from 9am to 5pm will still do so and counted as the same, even though it would be working from 9am to 2:30PM by current standards.

Let Spain have thier siesta time, they just delay the inevitable. On MMFFT, you can get that nap after work and have more time with your family, more time to watch TV and play videogames. On MMFFT, school goes by more quickly and rush hour could become a block party.

Convert to MMFFT today.

Some very good ideas here. I'll get the earth, sun, and the moon on a conference call so you four can have a little chat.
