Time o' Day

When do you first log into TTP for the day after you wake up?

It's 11:30 central time here and no one is on the server yet!

I've played in about 3 different pubs, and the teamplay was horrible in every one. Eh...weak.

I do when I get home from work, if I don't have any plans elsewhere. I get home at 4-5 pm, at that time, the clock is about 9-10 am in the US.

The timezone is a real pain in the butt. I used to pull all-nighters like everyday, but then my work schedule changed, and now I rarely get to play with the people I know on TTP.

3pm est during the week and prolly 12-2 on the weekends

Gore, you should only be... +7 from CST. So at 4-5, it should only be 11...

Or do you live in Australia or something? I thought you lived in Switzerland or Sweden or one of those eastern European countries.

I bet I'm missing something, just kind of confused...

And for the record, I generally am on the forums all the time, but only get on games in the evening (4ish is about as early as I start).

I'm no Aussie

I'm in the north, at GMT+1, but it's the same timezone as Sweden.
Incredible that USA is so big, that you have different timezones.
Here in Europe, GMT+1 covers from my Capital, Copenhagen, all the way down to Paris, and Madrid in Spain.

USA is awesome.

TheTomDude is the guy from Switzerland. Is he still around?

Ah, right, so then you're only at EST+6, or CST(the time zone in most of Texas)+7. So if you got home at 5, you could get on immediately and it'd only be midnight here. So you could get a few games in

I check the ttp site/email around 6:45 AM then its off to work until lunch.

**CivilWars** · 12-04-07, 12:13 PM

Ben, I think your math is backwards. He is 7 hours ahead of Texas/server time. That means he is at just after 7PM now. What he was saying is that at 4-7 PM his time it is late morning/early afternoon here, and the servers are not populated.

**Benandorf** · 12-04-07, 12:17 PM

Ah, okay, I did get my math backwards.

Sorry, gore. Ignore me, I'm just a confused noob.

Yeah I wish it were so, Ben

But I'm only 5-7 hours in front. If I want to play on TTP in the peak times, it has to be atleast 3 am here, and I've done that alot. When I played the monthly matches, I sat up all night with snacks and cola, waiting on the time to hit 3-4 am, just to get to play with you guys

Haha, people always laughed when I said the sun was coming up
