	BST begins Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Do I have to change my Poly time zone or will there be a springing forward of the Poly clock in the near future?

BST??

Here it's EST and EDT where the latter is for the great spring forward

I was wondering this too, I already changed my timezone to GMT +3 since the Poly clock was an hour behind.

British summer time? Here in Norway we have something called summer time but I've never heard this British part... Does you tea people have some special kind of summer time to make room for some extra tea time?

Nikolai,

it's the same summer time. Brits just call it British Summer Time (BST) as the GMT time isn't changed. Only the local time in the UK.

I had to change the time zone in my options manually this morning. Doesn't bother me really, since it only needs to be changed twice a year.

Isn't GMT changed. Do you mean that during summer time we (Latvia, Finland) are three hours ahead of GMT?

GMT doesn't change. The UK (and ironically the town of Greenwich) is currently GMT+1 = BST.

why is it that we Americans are a week late this time? Our daylight savings time starts next week.

Which country started this whole stupid business of daylight savings time anyway? And does anyone know why?

BTW, China doesn't have daylight savings time nor separate time zones. Think of it, in the west the sun doesn't rise till later than 8:30 am in the winter.

I've heard the reason is that the cows and pigs and such didn't want to cooperate when we humans started the industrialization, and didn't adjust to our timescale when the days got longer. They acted after the daylight, we after the clock!

US Daylight Savings Time begins April 6. Servers running on Windows should automatically switch, unless set to ignore it.

Yep, they do, as a matter of fact, their summer is very strange indeed, as it is the same as their automn, spring and winter....WET

Its always annoying getting up Sunday morning and having your comp tell you you've lost 1 hour. Of course getting a free hour later on in the year is more acceptable.

And speaking of which, Australia just got an hour back with the end of their daylight saving.

If I had my way we would be another hour ahead.First light at 4am is insane when you have an east face window like myself. If we moved another hour forward it would just be dark at about 11pm.

Its more sensible all round.

Perhaps we should teach these animals to act after the clock. Remember we humans can achieve everything it's just a question of how hard we try to convince them. Would save us a lot of trouble

Will the time zones adjust?? Not the Poly server (since it is in the US) but the zones itself. For example, Central Europe is now on GMT +2, where Poly says it is on GMT +1. Very annoying.

Not all of us live as far north as you BC.

seems none of you know that the first reason daylight savings time was instituted back during WWI time frame in Germany and Austria was to save energy (and money). http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/

As he was taking an early morning a ride through Petts Wood, near Croydon, Willett was struck by the fact that the blinds of nearby houses were closed, even though the sun was fully risen. When questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier, Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?" In his pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight" he wrote

Having lived in Petts Wood to hear someone say "Petts Wood is near Croydon" feels odd.

Ah, so by "we" you meant the UK, not "everyone who is affected by DST." Point taken. No offence I hope.

We're still holding out in our corn bunkers here in Indiana. Heck, no we don't change!

It's really weird around Indianapolis because the networks time delay all non-live stuff an hour so that prime-time is always 8 o'clock. This is in contrast to Northern Indiana which airs the shows the same time they are shown in Chicago (7 o'clock). Cable shows are always shown on Chicago time in both areas though.
