	War Chats, do we want to hold a special time Get a bigger avatar today!

When we go to War, do we want to hold special chats at certain times, so that as many people who want to join can?

I know that with my new job, I'm only avalable from 6PM to 10 (maybe 11) PM EDT. I have to get up for work at 4:15 AM (3:15 on Friday and Every other Thursday).

	Got spare money?

My schedule varies as I work evenings, usually Tuesday through Saturday. I usually leave for work around 8PM EDT and get home around 1 AM EDT; sometimes a little ealier.

It would be nice to get people into the chats for our turns during the war though. Apolyton's IRC server has it's problems still. I have been on Undernet all day Sunday and now through the evening and not one other person has been there.

Please use the GMT standard time notation when planning chats! Certainly not "EDT" since the relevant time zone seems to be in "EST" (summer time) now.

Generally I am about 0700 GMT - 1400GMT Monday - Fridays (0300EDT - 1100 EDT or thereabouts). More random on weekends, but if asked to come to a certain time I can often make it. My worst times are 2000-0200 GMT (1600-2200EDT).

Eastern Timezone is still in EDT. EST the 's' stands for standard not summer.

GMT = EST + 5 = EDT + 4.

I'm in Pacific which is GMT - 8.

If the war chats were a week earlier, I'd be available any time as many of you know

School starts in 2 days for me though, so I'll have to drastically change my schedule. I should be available in the evenings though, anytime after 7pm my time (0300 GMT). I'm free all day on Mondays.

Hope to see many of you in the chat more often. Lots of discussion happens there that doesn't take place in the forums unfortunately.

Perhaps we should have some type of "court reporter" in there and post logs every few days

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I'm now working roughly 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time, but after that works unless I have other plans.

So anytime after:
~4 p.m. local time
~7 p.m. EDT
~11 p.m. GMT

You're correct. It even confuses me. BST = "British Summer Time", you see...
