Nap..... PDT = Pacific ??
Why didn't you just chose one of the 4 options ?

Converted possible playtimes Nap Bonaparte
E. Tues. 03:30 GMT (Mon 22:30 EST) (Mon 19:30 PDT)
F. Wed. 02:30 GMT (Tues 21:30 EST) (Tues 18:30 PDT)
G. Thur. 00:00 GMT (Wed 19:00 EST) (Wed 16:00 PDT)
H. Fri. 03:00 GMT (Thur 22:00 EST) (Fri 19:00 PDT)
I. Sun. 02:00 GMT (Fri 21:00 EST) (Sun 18:00 PDT)
J. Sun. 15:00 -21:00 GMT (Sun 10:00 - 16:00 EST) (Sun 07:00 - 11:00 PDT)

Seems like all these times fall outside the 4 options _carnide and I are available together

(GMT = PDT + 8 = EST + 5) (18:00 GMT = 10:00 PDT = 13:00 EST)
(PDT = GMT - 8 = EST - 3)
(EST = GMT - 5 = PDT +3)

the 4 options _carnide and I could play translated in GMT, PDT and EST:

A. Friday 18:00 - 22:00 EST (15:00 - 19:00 PDT) (23:00 - 03:00 GMT)
B. monday: 12:00 - 15:00 EST (09:00 - 12:00 PDT) (20:00 - 23:00 GMT)
C. thuesday: 12:00 - 15:00 EST (09:00 - 12:00 PDT) (20:00 - 23:00 GMT)
D. wednesday: 02:00 - 05:00 EST (Tue 23:00 - 02:00 PDT) (07:00 - 10:00 GMT)

[Robert]

Nap, you really can't play any of the 4 suggested times _carnide and I suggested ?

If I have to pick one of Nap's times I can only chose H.
In fact all your options are in the middle of the european night
Friday night I can play though.......

Bravelaker, can you PLEASE respond ?

Cavebear, I leave for vacation in 9 days.
Seems like I will drop out then, while I've done my very best to get it organized
I don't think it's fair if I'll get out of vacation while I've done 3 weeks long my very best to get it organized.....

How are the other games going ?
Did they already start ?

Otherwise you should pherhaps try it different, by letting everyone first post their possible playtimes and then create the teams based on these playtimes......

_carnide, Nap and Bravelaker,

please vote for options A B C D or H

[Nap Bonaparte]

Cybershy....your options A,B, and C are right in the middle of my workday. Option D is too late at night. Because of the variation in time zones, I would think that a Sat. or Sun game would be best. I played against Carnide in the last tourny and it wasnt that difficult to get together.

[Robert]

I'm not at home saturday and sunday.
pherhaps I'll be able to play next saturday though, but I'm not sure yet.

that would be between 08:00 and 16:00 GMT, but I'm not sure yet.

[Robert]

c'mon, we MUST have this game start asap !
all post your possible playtimes, I'll try to find a suitable time then. (and convert them in 3 timezones)

[carnide_]

I vote for option H

[cavebear]

OK - Time Out

Even trying to collect everything in a spreadsheet is too complicated as it stands now. Some of the times are given in GMT, some in local Standard time, some in local Daylight Savings time, and some have starting but not ending times.

Please, each player, without discussion, just post your available playing times by day (of starting time) and in GMT. I'll make up a table to compare them.

For example:

Monday - None
Tuesday - GMT 11 pm to GMT 2 am Wednesday
Wednesday - GMT 11 pm to GMT 2 am Thursday
Thursday - None
Friday - GMT 10 pm to GMT 4 am Saturday
Saturday - GMT 6 pm to 10 pm
Sunday - GMT 2 pm to 6 pm

US Eastern Daylight Savings Time is GMT-5, US Pacific Daylight Savings Time is GMT-8. I do not know whether Cybershy and Carnide are on Daylight Savings Time in their countries, but the Apolyton Clock is GMT-5 (Eastern Daylight Time) if that helps.

We'll work this out yet...

[Nap Bonaparte]

I can be available Sat. 200 GMT(Fri. 6pm PDT) for up to 6 hours and Sun 1500 GMT(7am PDT) for 6 hours.

[Robert]

I've already made them comparable cavebear
thanks though.

seems like carnide_ and Nap can play saturday 02:00 GMT (Fri 21:00 EST) (Fri 18:00 PDT)

that's 03:00 am to me, but I'll wake up for the matter of it in this case. Bravelaker, can you show up then ?

[Nap Bonaparte]

So we need to hear from Bravelaker(esp. since he is the host). Are we starting the game within the next 24 hours....ie Sat 200 GMT=Fri. 1800 PDT or are we starting next weekend?

[bravelaker1000]

i can be there any night but i admit im having trouble reading the gmt times i have never used them but name the time i can show
