To whom it may concern (mostly PHP jedis)

Just a slight fact: The scheduler claims that the times are in GMT+1 everywhere. It's all over the place. Now, there are two possibilities here:

1) Well nope. The times are all GMT. Since I see it's 20:30 (supposedly GMT+1) when the game starts but it actually starts at 21:30 (actual GMT+1) for me.

2) The stuff is faulty and starts stuff 1 hour after announcement. Since noone else has problems with this, it has to be option number one.

(Browser == Firefox 2.0.0.13 && OS == Windows XP Professional SP2)

EDIT: Solution: 3) England sucks.

All times are stored as GMT and adjusted according to whatever zone you have set in your profile. If you're logged out it's straight GMT.
Could you post / PM me some screenshots of where it's going wrong please?

Bubbles, you know England's on BST now don't you (aka, we're GMT +1, and you're technically +2 )?

Well deviant England can suck a cock hard then. Modifying my timezone. -_-

Why does England seem to be more and more like the nerd of the EU class?

You may have invented time but you seem to abuse it too!
See fig. 1,2,3.

So that basically means you're pushing us ahead by a timezone when it's DST without us knowing. :x

In case you didn't realise, 5punk doesn't do automatic DST, so we manually set it to +1 when it's BST for us to match 5punk time with the real world. If you wern't in the know, I can see how it caught you out.

The UK being on DST doesn't affect anyone else. Your timezone will stay the same regardless of DST (unless you have it too). Confuses the shit out of me though. GMT is GMT regardless of UK time.
