++Downs Time

I prefer seeing exactly where posts fall in relation to the deadline, personally.

That should not be a problem since there will be a time stamp on the deadline post as well.

++Real Time

Because you can see it changing all the time without needing to refresh the page. Also, sometimes Downs time is out by a few minutes.

Noggie, I love the way you wrote:

Downs time - what is real time, after all?

Getting philosophical? Just don't give me a chance to start over that kind of issues here...

Well, I could be going at almost the speed of light, in which case, my clock could be years out.

Anyway...

Edit: in my original post I was going to say that I changed my mind but no I stick with my previous thought.

I vote for Downs Time.

If we go with real time, we have no way of knowing whose clock says what. I know for a fact from Nogrod's posts about time that my clock is 3 minutes faster than his. The Down's clock is a universal standard that is easy for everyone to see, and with each post being time-stamped, it's even easier to compare to the Downs clock to see which votes made it by deadline. Otherwise we could have arguments starting, "Well my clock said it was 10:56 GMT! My vote should count!" and so on and so forth. Using the Downs Clock avoids this kind of thing all together.

Honestly, this game is going to be crazy enough with out everyone trying to figure out what time it is and whose clock is fast or slow. Best to avoid extra confusion.

Usually, in your computer, at least on Windows, one can synchronise, resp. even actualise the synchronisation in the clock setting window. When you are connected to the internet, the computer of course does that from time to time itself. And I would presume the synchronised time to be the same.

I think it was good note what Nog said that we cannot be sure which direction the Downs Clock is gonna go - tomorrow, it may show 6 PM at 4 AM or who knows. Besides, if Nog is going to go with Mac's idea and be somewhat tolerant as he said (and also us players can help it a little by at least once trying to vote earlier *cough cough*), I can see no problem with someone posting after DL.
Besides, there was often someone who posted late, even when the clock was okay, and on the other hand, I am sure there were times when the clock was not okay but no one had any problem. I think we may be making too much off a fuss of nothing (so I should shut up, right ).
