New way of knowing what time to meet people on VMK!

[pokemon_master]

OK, VMK opens at different times around the world due to different world timezones. It is kinda annoying to do time conversions between your country/state if you live in the US and someone elses country/state. So my method is here to make things clearer!

Let's say I wanted to meet Mia at 5.00 GMT (sorry for using you as an example Mia! ). In the UK, it's 2 hours after VMK opens, so I would just say "Meet me 2 hours after VMK opens". All Mia has to do is to add 2 hours to the time it is when VMK to open in her country.

You can work it so it's either when it opens or when it closes. This way makes it a lot simplier as the person in the other country can very easily calculate the time they should be on VMK for their country. Have fun!

OK I have to ask why wouldnt you just say meet me at 5 EST?

what if you wanted to meet me at 3:47 EST? and what happens if i refuse to acknowledge daylight savings time? Heaven forbid its a leap year LOL

ahhhh .. the old daylight savings trick! Classic! I think the X amount of hours after VMK opens would work though. VMK time is a constant, weather you observe daylight savings or not, 2 hours after VMK opens is always 2 hours after VMK opens
