No, "time in Britain" is always CET -1 (Well actually I think there's a couple of days when we're 0 or 2 hours out as we don't always switch at the same time it seems...)

The problem arises, I guess, from everyone else taking their time zone with them when they change the clocks. When you do so you change CET by an hour. When we do so we go from GMT to BST (or vice versa)and leave the time zones where they are. Something to do with everyone else having to work out their time from us because they can't work it out for themselves...

Sal, the deadline for the first turn said "8-30pm"

There was no 11am or 11am UK time!

When I posted my first message on this board it was 8-45pm GMT by the way, 15 mins after the deadline which was 8-30 CET

I dont think so Mac.

I read 11 AM so I did my turn at around 10 AM. Anyway, a simple timer setting in the KaoBase would have helped.... :roll: (I wonder how often I will need to say this again)

Yeah but some of us people have some common sense and leave our clocks alone all year. then we don't have to remember that stupid saying "Spring forward, Fall back"
I have always wondered about that when everyone else changes time do I stay at GMT-5 or does it change?
There's no need to fear...........

You only change when you change the clock. GMT stays exactly where it is regardless of what the rest of the world does :)

And yeah, it is a stupid saying. But try and come up with one using "Autumn" instead... :wink:

*report from the battlefield*
Mr. Piggy miserably failed at attacking Yarosund. Mr Piggy's comments:

Mr Piggy: Man, all my armies got killed, war really is hell... If you need me, I'll be searching for people who want to join my army.

*Mr Piggy looks around*

Mr Piggy: Hmm...This place looks deserted...Darn it...Ok, time for plan B...

Mr Piggy sighs. He drops on his knees

Mr Piggy: [glow=blue]Please don't kill me, I'm a newbie![/glow]

Mr Piggy: Hehehe, that should do it...
Mr Piggy!

Yaro, did you know that more animals get killed creating vegetarian food than if people would simply eat cows and pigs? :cry:

No stress anyone

I do not like eating animals

If anyone else does that is up to them, and I do not have a problem with that.

Back to the game. The points still show that Mr.Piggy has a big points total, so it might not be very easy for me to make him pay for his attack.

GM Wilfred

You should definately have my orders.
I have an AOF Handler response dated 21 Aug.

I will check with Shakira and see if she still has an acknowledgement for her orders.

Please let me know if there are any more problems.

I KNEW you werent reffering to that Islamic guy when you chose the name Saladin. Wait, no. That would have made more sense if you were a vegetarian. Or Yarosund. But then he would be you, would that make him Dutch? *walks off mumbling*
First one here, last one to leave.
