Next Turn Thread Petition:

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 16:05

Dear Peasants,

We are thinking of opening the gates of my Thrownroom again this weekend for the peasants, but We are not sure if there is demand.

Please sign on this petition, if you think that We shall be available for you:

Please also mentioned your desired time (GMT):

Be aware that We will not necessarily leave the gates open for long.

Tamerlin · October 21, 2003, 20:17

I am only available friday or saturday evening though not before 20:00 GMT, I will be away from home sunday.

J Bytheway · October 22, 2003, 10:37

Are these turn threads actually turn chats? I'm getting rather confused...

Gilgamensch · October 22, 2003, 11:44

Hi all,

the turn thread is to plan for the turn chat............

centrifuge · October 22, 2003, 12:28

I can't promise on making it

, but if a time is set, I'll do my best. Free time on the weekend is often a luxury for me these days.

ískallin · October 22, 2003, 12:42

I'll try to make it...

Gilgamensch · October 22, 2003, 12:58

Any idea, when you might be able to join? Same as Tamerlin?

Tamerlin · October 23, 2003, 18:18

I fear I won't be available at all this week-end Gilgamensch.

When do you plan to hold the Turn Chat and who might be there?

Locutus · October 23, 2003, 19:18

Saturday I'll probably be available after 20.30 GMT (not BST), on Sunday after 17:30 GMT.

Note: in the Netherlands we change to wintertime this weekend; I don't know if the whole world does this at the same time (I doubt it), so keep that in mind when determining the time of the chat...

Called day light savings time. I assume you're talking about setting the clocks back an hour...

My dear peasant:

What your words as they might turn back on you

But nobody can complain, they weren't reading.........so it fullfilled it's purpose, or?

So, for the moment looks like Saturday around 20 GMT............

allthough, Locutus, what would make for you in real time?

Yes, that is what I'm talking about. But it happens usually at different times in different parts of the world (heck, some parts don't even have DLS)...

Well, it's good to know the US is in line with Europe for once... but of course you'll see that some other dimwit nation (like the UK or France) changes a week earlier or later

There's always some nation that just HAS to be different from everybody else...

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say here

Please rephrase...

You got me in the moment confused with BST and GMT. SO in other words, what is the time you could be here in normal MET?

Locutus · October 24, 2003, 05:30

I assume you mean CET? In that case, 22:30 on Saturday, 19:30 on Sunday.

So GMT I think that should actually be 18:30 for Sunday, not 17:30 as I said in my previous post, on account of change to wintertime and all.

Don't you just love these time-zones?

Gilgamensch · October 24, 2003, 05:49

Yep, I really love them.............
Also CET=MET, but don't ask me if there is a difference........

MET Middle European Time...........
CET Central European time..........

As nobody really told, I am not sure if Saturday or Sunday..........

But don't be afraid, we won't play to long.............

Including some states in the US,

well maybe just one... Arizona is the only state that I can think of that doesn't have DLS time.

Gilgamensch · October 24, 2003, 09:39

jesus.............why is the USA than called United

?

Come on Gilg, DLS isn't that big of a deal...

Arizona's state government just decided that they didn't want to mess around with the clocks twice a year.

I agree with you about UK, but we are also changing from Summer time to Winter time this week...

Immortal Wombat · October 24, 2003, 20:03

So are we. Hah.

I know...

I was just furthering the traditional antagonism between France and England... some traditions have to be respected.

Maquiladora · October 25, 2003, 13:55

Ok so the actual time for the chat (if there is one) is 21:30 GMT?

But i thought we invented time? so surely ours is the correct time and eveyone else just messes around with all this EST/DLS strangeness?

It looks like i'll be able to take part in any turnchat tonight

...........if you'll still have me

Immortal Wombat · October 25, 2003, 15:36

Dammit people, just drop whatever you're doing, and join the chat from local noon Saturday to local noon Monday.

edit/ we still in #lemuria?

Locutus · October 25, 2003, 16:38

Wait a minute -- so the whole world's gonna change to wintertime at the same time? Everyone actually agreed on a single date? Wow, that's gotta be a first...

This is surely a sign of the apocalypse...

J Bytheway · October 26, 2003, 07:21

Despite reading this thread, I totally forgot about the changing clocks and left an hour early for lunch this morning. It took me ages to work out why the canteen wasn't open yet.

I assure you that the southern hemisphere is not changing to wintertime at the moment (Although I'm not even sure if anywhere there does change their clocks - I know South Africa doesn't) - so the whole world might be a slight exaggeration.
