What timezone are you guys playing in?

Just a quick question.

Not a very good question for an international audience. At a guess, I'd say we've got at least 10 time zones covered, and you've excluded all the ones outside the US and most of Canada.

Haha, well, looking at all the little flags now I'm beginning to see that. My hours are going to stink for anybody outside of the US anyway, though running my servers all the time would cost a bundle. *shrugs* I'll figure something out, I'm only catering to a specific portion of the Tron audience as it is (no rubber), so I think I'll just have the server up when I'm actually using it. The only people who come in are Nexus regulars when Nexus is empty and I have a game going, anyway..

So if I wanted to play no rubber I'd be up the creek without a paddle eh. So much for being GMT. Or something. I understand the position, but it just seems incredibly unfair for some reason.

/me lives in Canada and is excluded from that poll.

Tank Program: If you wanted to play no rubber you'd go to Alpha's server, which is on all the time. ^^;

Fonkay: Doesn't Canada share the four timezones I mentioned with the US?

ed / kyle: I intended "Central Time" when I put that there. The reason I didn't say 'CST' is because during daylight savings time it becomes 'CDT'. 'CT' is the overarching abbreviation for both. Now I don't know if five people are actually in CT, or if they're all just crazy tronners messing with me. x_x

I'm thinking I'll bump the server hours forward a bit though, because then people in the central and western timezones are more likely to use it, and people in places further east of me are already missing the hours by awhile as it is.

For anybody wondering, my server is "Neo-Nexus OldSkool", but you probably all knew that already because that's the only other topic I've made on this board. If you're in the mood for no rubber games when my rig isn't online, Nexus9 Deathmatch and Team Gauntlet are both pretty cool.

Well Canada has 6 time zones, so no.

The other two would fall under 'other'. xP Obviously my poll was originally intended for U.S. players, but it doesn't specifically exclude Canada, is all I'm saying. ^^;

DaMunky89 I believe everyone with questions about time zones are fairly knowledgeable in them and they are just giving you a hard time. Take it in stride bro! Just think a little bigger next time is what we're saying.

*lol* It's okay turtle, I'm not actually angry or frustrated, I'm just bad at doing meta-humor. My ultimate posting of a world timezone list was a sarcastic response to all the questions I've been getting about timezones.

I'm sure you all know the timezones, because you're smart people and it's only a matter of remembering the GMT (or UTC) offsets.
