Showmeyomoves! Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 There always seems to be confusion when planning events with people from across the pond. This is the thread where we put an end to that. I've been using GMT (aka UTC) when planning events, but since that's based on UK time, I imagine it can be confusing for our American friends. They can go to this site to check out what their local GMT is. Just click on TIME IN EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and select your country from the drop-down menu. Selecting UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA) takes you to a page where you can select your state. Once you figure out your location's GMT, post it here so I can make a list of GMT zones that are relevant to TAY users. UK: GMT (12:00) Netherlands: GMT+1 (13:00) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Gmt :12.00 Me: 12.00 BTW utc n gmt aren't always the same. British summertime off sets us/gmt. Universal coordinated time(fuck the french) does make sense as tay time zone. Means people only need to know theirs to utc, rather than theirs to a dozen others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmeyomoves! Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah, I didn't want to bother explaining the difference between UTC and GMT. If anyone's interested, they can look it up on Wikipedia. I guess you're right though, UTC would make more sense once we start switching to and from daylight savings time. I wouldn't mind editing the OP to refer to UTC instead of GMT, but yeah... Too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baguette Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well maybe if you didn't say let's play later this evening it wouldn't be so confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmeyomoves! Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 See, I tried looking for something like that, but the one on Wikipedia was all wrong. (It said the Netherlands was GMT 0.) Dean, could you add Foe's pic to the OP, please? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
