I wasn't gonna comment on this, but I just walked past a news crier that pointed out that all events this month will start at <insert 4 time zones>.
I mean no disrespect to anyone, but it seems to me like this and the chart created here is extra work for our EM when the calendar on the website will automagically convert the time for us. This seems like a small thing to do. Bookmark the site, click the date when you need a reminder. (
@EM Kincaid - Sat the 29th is missing tho!)
And even if there was no such tool, the EM could just choose ONE time zone, consistently, to post all events. We could all look up the time difference, and do a calculation (add or subtract). Since the events are always at the same time, you only need to do that math once. Just once. Once you know what that time is, it will always be at that time for you. (At least so far.) The chart made here is very nice, despite the fact that Google is literally at each of our fingertips.
We all know that it is simply not possible to please everyone all the time. Still, Kincaid is really, really trying lol. Surely no one expects him to start listing everyone's timezone in each event post, and on the town criers? And since he cannot list them all, why ask that he add your particular zone? One is sufficient.
I vote that he use the
global standard of GMT. Or else some obscure time zone so that the majority have to do this tiny bit of math and no one starts crying about favoritism or being left out. Furthermore, it would be
our responsibility to keep track of
our country's time changes in relation to that time zone. This seems, to me, to be the self-responsible way to deal with this.
Posting 2 timezones, essentially one for each hemisphere, seems like a very practical way to go about it.
And, again, I mean no disrespect to anyone with this post. It just seems like such a simple thing for each of us to do for ourselves, instead of the EM spending so much time trying to do it for us when he could be dreaming up more fantastical ways for us to die
