Time Shift: Be forewarned!

Hello Guild Members, We are about to enter what will likely be the most confusing 2-3 weeks of the year in the Guild Living Campaign. The issue is Daylight savings time , and since we game internationally, this has the potential to cause snafus. So here's a run-down of what's going to happen: March 12: Most U.S. States jump ahead an hour. This means that the Eastern time zone will be GMT-4 (not GMT-5), and the Pacific time zone will be GMT-7 (not GMT-8). March 26: Europe (including the UK) jump ahead an hour. So the UK will be using GMT+1 (aka BST) instead of just GMT. This restores the normal "time difference" between the European and American players since we're all on the same page. April 2: Australia (that magical upside-down land) falls back an hour because DST ends for them. DMs are going to do their best to post all session times in GMT and make announcements in Guild Skype before all games at least for the Mar 12-Mar 26 maximum confusion period, but please keep in mind that schedules may be shifting. As always, thanks for playing with us.
Be advised that Europe has finally caught up with summer. This means that the Pacific Coast of the US is now once again 8 hours behind the UK (PDT and BST), and the East Coast is once again 5 hours behind the UK (EDT and BST).
