Sticky? :3

Since the War Room never goes beyond a page and we don't want too many stickies, we're not stickying this thread.

Put me up there? I'm GMT -5.

Human it'd be better to label the times as EST, etc considering that's what most label times as in mafias. I don't even know what UTC is an havent seen it around. Also if you're adding QT names: mine is Midorikawa

Mijzelffan for every name.
GMT +1
DST from last sunday of March untill the last sunday of october.

Probably because most people refer to UTC as GMT. I can't imagine you've never heard of GMT, because you know, it's kinda hard to find out what time someone updates if you don't know their GMT difference from your own timezone (which is why people usually specify them in their OP's).

UTC is Coordinated Universal Time. It's the correct standard to use, given that we don't all live in the United States.

The problem with using labels like EST is that they are not universal. For instance, you're referring to U.S. Eastern Standard Time (I assume), which is UTC-5, but EST also refers to Egypt Standard Time, which is UTC+2.

If it helps, UTC if functionally the same as GMT.

I don't know how UTC works but I know how GMT does so since I said I am GMT+1 why didn't u guys add it?

Actually I said GMT+2 but that was a typo I just noticed. :P

Skype name: gravitybash
UTC -5

@Mijzelffan; I've heard of GMC just not UTC

@Master Mew; thanks for the explanation.

It might be best to label them as all the names so ex:UTC-5/EST/Whatever GMT it is

That way there is no confusion. At least labeled as GMT since that one seems to be known by everyone

Because GMT+1 is the same as UTC+1, so UTC was used for consistency.

Also, @HumanDawn please move m0ckingbird20 from UTC+2 to UTC+1.

Ih never mind I missunderstood something my bad. Don't ask what I thought I don't wanna say. :/

Should we add the names of cities in corresponding timezones? I know what the timezones stand for, but I find it easier to calculate the time difference when I have a given city. Not all cities, but maybe one or two for each?

I might as well have myself added. UTC-6, my quicktopic account is Smasher 101.
