Author Topic:   Forum Time Difference Explained !!!

Ummm .. for those of you who don't know, here in the Eastern Time Zone, we just put our clocks back a couple of weeks ago ...
The people at Firaxis being as busy as they are, they must have accidentally put the time forward one hour !!!
So with the conbined effect of not (-)putting the clock back (-1) and of putting the clock ahead one hour (+1), we come with a time difference of +2 hours !!!
-(-1)+(+1) = (+1)+(+1) = 1+1 = 2 I think !!!
It's either that, or they based the forum on Chiron SMAC time !!!
The actual truth is out there ... and probably hidden in an evil nexii ... so I guess we'll never know the truth ... even if it is out there ... unless they make a 2nd movie, but I'm getting a little ahead of myself there !!!

Hey MIKE ... I know you guys don't have much time to post, but what's the real deal with the time diff ??? Was I right ???

It's based on the next coming of the age of NYM.

No really-right now it is 6:08 am PT

What do you mean ???
Were the old forums off too ???
Where are the Firaxis headquarters ???

No he probably means that he, as do i, live in England anyway, so ET would be out of synch with us anyway. Now it is only three hours.
Hey, maybe they just took the average between GMT and CT.

Yeah ... but most likely, it's just one of those silly settings that no one knows how to adjust !!!
Where can I get a good forum generator anyways ???
Anyone care to try to explain to me how a forum works, and more importantly, when the data gets stored ???

But the problems are not new.
I had problems setting up chat events long ago so that I really grew tired from nobody showing up
