Ok... Im trying to wrap my head around this... but I'm not sure if I've got it.

I am currently in Eastern (GMT -5), The events are in PST (GMT -8). FA time is CST? (GMT-6)

So this means if the Events team says meeting at 8:00 PM wherever, that means..

Event time: 8:00pm
FA time: 10:00pm
Eastern: 11:00pm

Does that sound right? I think i've got it, but I want to be sure. I'm making a reference card that I can look at so when I see a time I can just look it up and know exactly when something is gonna happen.

Thanks a bunch

just so you all know, the module //f.a.t. (FA time) has the wrong time. it never caught the change in daylight savings, so it's an hour behind (i.e. if the clock says 6pm, it's really 7pm.)

but yes, FA time has always been 2 hours later than the scheduled time. back before beta was 24/7, the servers were up noon to midnight, which was 2pm to 2am FA time. before that, it was even worse. =/ can you imagine having to wait til 2pm to play!? it was madness!! lol

EDIT: hope your brother's alright. nothing too serious, i hope?
