Re: To Thesos!
Sorry guys that I couldn't stay round for long. The puppy ismuch much better but still a HUGE handful. It was so cool to just go off with a group of players and talk about the weather and the cold. Sounds silly, but it really does add a dimension to the game, and it's so simple! We will be doing a trek every week I think, and like Sasi has suggested, we can meet in strange areas and have camp outs and stuff. This will be cool!]

I think it is very strange that we consider the GMT changing places instead of just the hours... more confusing than anything.

GMT NEVER changes (as all clocks and time zones are off-set by it). So yes, while the east coast is still -5 hours English time, it is not -5 hours GMT (you're clocks went forward (as, of course, did ours)), and so it's -4 GMT.
Which all amounts to not much *perceivable* difference, unless you *have* to know times in GMT for various reasons.

The purpose of GMT is to provide a baseline against which any local time can be calculated, even if 95% of the game population lives within a six hour timezone window, it is still useful to announce events with GMT time stamps
