The HOTW VII - Setup Thread III - The Trilogy

[OzzyKP]

I suppose someone else could call him who has a working phone.

[Toni]

It would be wonderful to get some info from OT. Ok two sessions missed is no disaster, but plz at least post and tell us if u are interested to continue playing.

[Robert]

I think we need his phone number at least, to call him.
"OmnipotentTrout in Norway" isn't known at my telephone provider

[OzzyKP]

The great and mighty CS is missing a phone number? I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

Check your PM, I sent you an update to your phone list with Moker, Glohithia, and OmniTrout on there.

[OzzyKP]

Oh, and we briefly discussed the time switch during the session, but lets figure out for sure what time we are meeting this week.

The US changed their clocks back an hour this weekend.

Since the US has a good number of players in this game (Toni, Nolan, me, Mike, Conq) I suggest we keep with US time since it'll cause less problems (and cause one way or another you all still owe us for saving your asses in the last 3 world wars).

Also, if we shift an hour earlier it would be better for the Euros and we might even get some extra play time in.

I was actually playing at this time with the winter time in my head
So far I've played every day till 4am (while having to study the day after and having a baby) (did I already trow in the baby-card?)

[Toni]

Just pm OT's # to Lz and let him call him then

[Toni]

some extra play time in

[Robert]

I suggest that we keep naming gametime as it always was. Gametime is NEVER altered because of a change in summer/wintertime.

Now the question is raised: at what time do we start next week? In a normal situation that means that those people who've changed to wintertime will have to start an hour earlier. For those who didn't change summer/winter time: nothing changes.

We can also decide to adopt wintertime and start one hour earlier then we used to. In that case the americans/europeans will start at the same time and the australians have to start 1 hour later.

My suggestion is:
we start at gametime and we play for 4 straight hours (instead of 3,5 hours now)
That means that the europeans can go to bed half an hour earlier while we play half an hour longer! Everybody happy, right?

[OzzyKP]

I'm confused.

[Toni]

4 straight hours is just sweet

You started the confusion! :P
Your post is the least understandable ever :P

[deity]

You are both confused!

GT = Original Game Time

Northern Hemishpere goes back an hour = GT -1
Southern Hemishpere goes forward an hour = GT +1
The Equatorial regions (Singapore) doesn't change.

This means that there is a 2 hour differential between Southern and Northern.

Therefore I can easily start up to 2 hours earlier than old GT.

Although Cyber is less confusing than that whingering ozzy...

[Robert]

Anyway, let's stick to UTC time. UTC didn't change so everybody must observe how his own time changed.

We always played from 22.30 UTC till 02.00 UTC
Deity said he could play earlier, does that work for KunojiLym as well?

If both Deity and Kuno agree I suggest:
21.30 UTC - 02.30 UTC (that's 5 hour!)

Since Kuno is from Singapore I can imagine that he doesn't like it to start earlier. (At what local time do you play right now, Kuno?)

Anyway, if Kuno can't move earlier then I suggest:
22.30 UTC - 02:00 UTC (= 4 hours = 0,5 hours more)
