Our time

[Guest]

Hi i was thinking we do a kapilands realm one vote, for one im realy sick of using german time when im in canada
2) we need to make it like zulu time so when i say il send it 7am i mean zulu so you know i dint misse the contract and the buyer dose not get pissed. The auction foums also need to be zulu to simplyfie all thinks if not zulu change it to the most used like say if theres more estern time we use that one.

thanks tycoon if this goes thro could you set up a vote easie to see like just above sales where everione goes tHANKS

Sorry, your system in the auctions forum will bring just one thing: chaos... nothing more.
there are too many nationalities here... so I do not really see a sense in your proposal.

lol..

well anything forum related is not an issue as we use 'forum time' which is the time stated in the upper left hand corner of the forum.

Regarding ingame and 'zulu' or whatever that means the time format you are after is GMT

So if u wanna set up with your buyers a time just say xx:xx o clock GMT +/- x and everyones clear

For one zulu is a set time and 1 am zulu is always same time regardles where you are in the world and i dont see a clock

[Guest]

At the Forum Index there is a clock which gets updated every time the page is loaded. The clock is not visible when reading a topic

Btw, this is a german made game and GMT is the only valid time used there and I belive in the whole of europe. Changing it to zulu time is as likely as a canadian made game used GMT (I have not checked myself but sound like zulu time is prefered by Canada).

This is not really anything to discuss

[Guest]

There would be nice if we have the game time in the left corner of the screen. For example :

----------------------------------------------
COMPANY
Time : HH:MM:SS
Cash: xxx,xxx

[Guest]

Would that be too much work? GMT Time next to the fixed assets?

[Guest]

probalby not id say 5 min
tycoon; if you do pass this on to designers ask how long it took them and post it here thanks

[Guest]

and perhaps something like a translater because I live in California so my clock is like almost compeltely different then the german clock so...Mabye have something like


Event takes place at **:**:** that has a edit system so u can change the clock to your time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EX:

I go into profile

I goto Clock settings

I change it to pacific time

All events, etc are translated into pacific time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
that way every one can stay on ethe same page that has different time zones

[Guest]

"Because we live in a world that has many time zones, it was deemed nessasary to set a UNIVERSAL time so people around the world in different time zones could refer to a single time. Military operations generally call this ZULU time or Greenwich Mean Time, where the scientific community referes to it as the Universal Time Clock. Don't let them confuse you, they are all the same thing refering to the same time. "

as for translator, I guess you don't need to calculator or computer to substract 8h to get California time. At least I don't have problems with adding 1h in my case, but I know it is a lot more easy operation

I can pass this proposal to have the clock somewhere in the game on to the programmers...

but I have one question:
for what do you need it? I understand that it is important for the contests (that*s why there is this indication now at the contest stats) and that it is important for the auctions here in the forum (but you can see the time here...)

So could pls tell me its' importance in game? I just want to understand it...

[Guest]

The reason I would want it would be to orient me on what time it is every time I sign on Kapilands. I wouldn't be in the dark on what time it is and try to remember were you guys said the clock was. I would be able to sign on and see all the transactions I did and with a click find out what time I did those things. I just thought it would help with finding out what time it is without going onto the forum and everyone would see it so they wouldn't be confused at all.

[Guest]

lol so zulu is GMT.

The idea about GMT is that everyone can use it. Right now Germany is GMT + 2 i believ whereas uk is GMT +1. So its not like were trying to make it easier for ourselevs lol.

As for ingame.. i cant think of a really important use

[Guest]

I live in a -6 GMT area. So my clock is six hours behind. London is 0 GMT time, I checked on my system clock.

Were currently in British Summer Time (BST) which is GMT +1

In the winter were GMT +0.
