And that's like 10pm GMT? Always try to use GMT, since we all know how our own time zone is relative to that. That's my philosophy. I'm using Eastern. You can google it to find out what you need. That's what I do when someone posts time, temperature, measurements in something I'm not familiar with. I learn a lot more that way, too, by doing it myself. Especially with daylight savings time, standard time. It's easy to get confused. And I actually do not know Eastern compared to GMT -- I always have to look it up. It's 5 or 6 hours I think. Not sure.

UNVOTE
Skelda, are you specifically told when your action fails? It is alright if you don't want to answer, I'm just considering.

I would have told that person the wrong time. I would have been 1-2 hours off. That wouldn't have been good at all. Especially since I was answering Jake who happens to be in Eastern time.

I believe you too Jake. Sorry for voting you so many times.
I'm not sure who to go after now though. Anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty sure Tribbo still has a majority.

I would be informed of it succeeded some of the time, but sometimes not. Sorry for being cryptic, I could just claim if you want, there isn't really a good reason to be secretive.

I know I should use google to figure out in the moment, but I just wanted to point out that on the long term it's much easier that everyone just has to remember how their own time zone translates into GMT, instead of constantly googling translators to figure out how EST, CET, or PST etc translates into their own time. That's my vision.

I find it's better to give hours remaining than a time.

Might as well claim that I am the messenger who sent those messages to Keyen, Rosey, and Katie Good job, Jake! Keeping my vote on Iceman. If I change my mind about voting for him, and someone else is whacked, I will still be worried about him tomorrow.

It's different than British savings. I can't remember when the US starts it -- how can I remember when England starts it. I am sticking to EASTERN. Whoever needs it translated can do it themselves.
