Okay, well, by the looks of things, the Ranger is in, Hunter out.

Thanks Menel, I think I can manage with that.

Something here just doesn't still sit right?
I was wrong with my timings the last time, but this clearly isn't quite straight yet... U.S Naval Observatory says: Quote:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone-summer.htm Check here current timings. So Eastern Daylight Savings time is indeed -4GMT (UT) right now. The Great Britain is +1 GMT and we here in Finland are +3 GMT. That would mean that the deadline is: 6PM Eastern 11PM Great Britain 01AM Finland Correct me if I'm wrong this time too...  PS. 01AM here is quite right with me. 12AM would be better, but in a close game I could sacrifice one hour of sleep for a good participation in the game...

No, GMT is the correct time for Great Britain, not GMT+1, as it centered on Greenwich, an area just outside London. Thus, Finland would then be GMT+2, not +3, so the Day/Night would begin at 12 AM your time, Nogrod.,.

But I happen to know, that Finland is in +3GMT (even my BD-page - low there at the bottom - says that). And after a similar discussion with the last game (when the Brits were saying they were the GMT, they had to acknowledge that they were not - the Daylight Savings makes the GB +1 GMT) as the game begun, we saw that it was the case. Just try it this way. It's 03.07AM now here in Finland as I send this. Check when this has been written from your thread. It is 01.07AM in the G-B, isn't it? And Glirdy should have received this at 08.07PM his time?

And you would be exactly right Nogrod. Sorry Menel, but he's right.

So, if we are settled with the time of the deadline each day, then we only need to know the starting date...
How does it look like, Glirdy?
