ex.
im in los angeles, usa timezone (utc - 8)

so i take whatever hour on the margin and subtract by 8 to get my localtime.

please do!

The world should be UTC, once we go out in Space it will be UTC used, might as well get acclimatised now

No. Because the next step is having everyone play soccer and drinking tea. This shall not pass.

Innocent question: assuming someone has not specifically agreed to it, does communicating their play schedule to other players raise any privacy issues?

It shows if they have insomnia. Woo.

no more privacy issues than what is already shown by visiting http://freeallegiance.org and looking at the "asgs players online" section on the right...

anyway timezone feature is done. im not 100% happy with the way it behaves.. but it works... i sux at javascript. if someone can do something better (just view source), im willing to look at your better implementation.

and for those still scared about privacy, you can browse my code here:

I would try (and most likely fail) and put it in your code but I literally have to jet now.

hrm thx.. i guess i wasnt looking for an automatic detect timezone solution.
actualy i think instead of entering in a number... if i just provide a drop down to choose a number from -12 to 12.. that should fix the problem of having to reload the page and dropping you back to the start of the script instead of keeping you at the results page.
