I don't even have a clue what GMT is... i think GMT is like 4 hours in front of me. The Timezones that I take are these

Pacific
Mountain
Central
Est
Atlantic

Right now it's 14:29 Atlantic, so 13:29 Est, 12:29 Central, 11:29 Mountain & 10:29 Pacific. My bet is that right now it's 18:29 GMT since it's shows Atlantic -4:00 in my Timezone compared to GMT.. but I'm not sure

If you are observing daylight savings time currently, and you are in Atlantic Timezone then you will be GMT -3:00.

BTW, EST = Eastern Standard Time. EDT = Eastern Daylight Time. Most people in the Eastern timezone are on EDT, not EST currently. Same goes for lots of other timezones.

ok, let's say it so - 5pm NY time (10 pm in London). This will avoid the daylight correction.

[BigFurryMonster]

Now - 22:00 in London (ormuzd), or 22:00 GMT (Makahlua) ? Those are actually two different things.

[G'Kar]

The unix standard is looking pretty good right about now. So what's the final time and place (undernet/apolyton)?

[Makahlua]

I'm gonna say 5p NYC/2200 London/2300 GMT

I tihnk I got that conversion right........

[BigFurryMonster]

Actually, no. London is GMT +1.

If New York is at -4 right now, we have:

EDT New York 17:00
GMT 21:00
BST London 22:00
CEST Berlin/Paris 23:00

Does this help?

edit: I put it in my signature.

[ormuzd]

Actually I'm in East Europe (guess the country ) but I'm not sure what will happen if I said 23:00 CET. Maybe there will be started another discussion about the daylight saving times and the names of the time zones

[mrboo123]

ok, WHEN are we going to do this again?

[Makahlua]

*points at BFM's post*

What he said

#civ3dem, Undernet for the people who have trouble with 'Poly

edit: This should help too:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/personalapplet.html?cities=16,33,37,667,240,179,136,137,70,75,264

And considering the amount of confusion we've had on it, perhaps move this chat Tues or Thurs? I also think we may need more discussion on the city sites in dispute.

[CiverDan]

Yeah..I was wondering the same thing, when is that chat?

[MrWhereItsAt]

Can I just suggest that when a time is decided upon, the Prez may want to edit the top post and add in the time, date and roomname in bold? That would help all of us, I think.

[BigFurryMonster]

Well? How did the chat go? I don't see any report anywhere.

[ormuzd]

there was no chat I guess

[BigFurryMonster]

Ah. Post #1 was edited. Also with a very useful link.

[Tassadar500]

Sorry guys I won't be able to do it. It would be around 10 and 11 P.M. my time on a week day.
