Can't we just build in a time converter into the forum like TNP does theirs so it shows deadlines according to a user's local time?

Edit: Nevermind, this happened. At this point, we should just do away with the whole act.

If NationStates the game does updates at EST midnight and midday, I am not sure why we must observe other times.

I personally don't care either way cause I always vote at the ping, but it is more logical to make the time that NS observes in-game the official time.

So, as amusing as I find this thread, this here is the right answer. If the game updates at midday and midnight, it would make sense to follow the game dynamics. Anything else is swimming against the tide.

To be the old man here, we had gone by the ET ~20-years ago and switched because it was American-centric. (Although, there's probably something of a chicken and egg situation where this space continues to be American-centric because it was originally American-centric ...)

Anyhow, while I know we're trying to make coding upgrades here, I'd just like to stress the need for a bit of flexibly when scheduling. It's probably not a huge problem if we let something run from 12:01a Sydney time to 11:59p Honolulu time. People have lives outside of this game and it seems like to sliding back toward strict schedules and definitions which makes the game burdensome rather than fun.
