| Cities in the MR time zone | Started by: JkL on Jul 07, '11 19:58 |

The choice of time zone to set MR in seems to be a fairly bizarre choice, and I was wondering what the reason behind it is?
Other cities to operate in the GMT -1 time zone are:
Acsra
Azorez
Bamako
Banjul
Bissau
Dakar
Freetown
Lome
Monrovia
Nouakchott
Ouagadougou
Reykjavik
Sao Tome
Yamoussoukro

The game operates in GMT time, and does not adjust for daylight savings time (since it is a non standard that not every area does at the same time) |

Well that certainly explains it, thanks for the response Squishy |

Adjusting for daylight savings is going to be confusing to those that live in areas that do not, and not doing it is going to confuse those that live in areas that do. The first time it happens. And any timezone that the game operates on is going to slightly alienate everyone who doesn't live in the selected timezone, until they get used to it. But as long as the game does display a time, and it's the same time displayed for everyone, that's the best that anyone can hope for. I mean, the game could count backward from 24:00 starting at 9:37 in the morning and it really wouldn't matter for anyone who's paying attention. In fact, it might even add a level of unconventional strategy to the game, which I'm sure would be a welcomed bit of flavor and difficulty for the hardcore set. "Before you all go to bed this morning, I just wanted to remind everyone that shot reports are due by 11:57 yesterday." "Yesterday yesterday?" "No, moron. Yesterday was tomorrow, this morning is last night, and tomorrow is yesterday. I swear I'm surrounded by idiots." |

Squishy how many credits would I have to buy/how many pizzas would I have to get delivered to you to get the old time system back? As someone who lives in EST, I miss it dearly. |

You can start with a buffalo chicken cheesesteak from Guintos, order of motz sticks and diet Pepsi. Do this for enough consecutive days and we can talk :) |

Err Squishy, I think is thats what you are planning to eat for enough consecutive days, I think fulfilling Crawford's time zone request will be the least of your worries! |

Yeah, the artificial sweetener in diet Pepsi is really bad for you. |
