I figured out when it is my time, but it's beyond me to convert it to other people's time.

Ah, gotcha. I'm a lot the same way. I set a secondary clock on my laptop to the Downs time so it's easier to convert it, if that helps. *shrugs* Time zones are silly.

Galadriel, you might want to change your time zone for the downs then via options on the control panel - if you scroll down from the invisible option there is a box ot choose time zones. Either pick GMT and set the DST (daylight saving time) option to off. THen the posts on the Downs will show WW time (and your computer clock will keep you straight for your actual time). The only way I coped with Time zone changes in the States was to have a dual time watch with one set to UK time to keep something constant.

Could it be that all of extended Clan Nogrod have mixed up the midnights? I don't use 24hr clock much so I had to check myself ..... A lot can happen quicky though...they will probably all rush on at once and I'll go to make a cup of tea and find 5 pages to read on my return. So good weekend everyone?

Well not a very good weekend actually. But anyway. I'm now in and have read through the chatting.

Just a quick one for the deadline. Just check post #4 in this thread which has it in with capital letters that day one starts now. It has been sent four minutes before the exact deadline. Then just store into your minnd which the hour is, and you don't need dual-time clocks or anything of the sort.

I do know it is 3AM here - and that I will most probably vote a bit early as I need to wake up at decent hours tomorrow to go to hospital and have my operation-cut taken care of (I need to do that daily...).

Delving back into the thread now.

Thank you for the clock suggestion!

There's just over 6 hours left. Incredible! There are hardly any WW-related posts. (That made me think: ww games are probably the only threds that are allowed to get chatty.)

Edit: xed with Nog and Greenie

I see what you mean! I suppose the first few posts of any game kind of have to be nonsense if there's nothing about the rules or something such that needs to be discussed. However, the amount of chatter is sometimes a bit too much. (Especially from the perspective of someone who's going to have to vote in an hour or so in order to get a decent night's sleep before work tomorrow..)

Nogrod · 06-26-2011, 12:09 PM

It also depends on a game. Sometimes Day1's are just more or less chat and a rushed last-minute vote (normally lynching an innocent as the wolves around the DL know where to steer it if they need to), but there have been also spectacular D1's where there has been multiple rows, built-up cases and at best beatufilly made wolf-lynchings in the ned of the Day.

This sadly seems to be one of the former kind... (and yes, it is partly my fault as well)

But don't worry G55, These hours from here (or starting at an hour from this) to around the DL are usually the busiest; that's called afternoon in Americas and late-evening / early night in Europe. So this will get a lot busier before the Day ends.

Only Eomer is out of that circle. There was a warning from Lommie that Legate might be a late starter on admin thread ..anyway academic now since some of them have arrived. So maybe the serious stuff will start to happen.
