But we don't have they luxury. At the very least the 8pm pmt time slot is pretty good for both. But like I said, if someone really really wants a game near their timezone I'll do that too.

And again these time slots are certainly more "guidelines" then any sort of hard and fast rule...if there's a time slot you'd like to see just let me know and I'll put it up. Another one of the joys of online cons...games can happen anytime and the shouting of those douchebags over at the Paranoia game won't interrupt the Deep Roleplaying going on in the Death of Socrates RPG playtest. But I do like the idea of an over arcing meta game involving "A Murder at a Virtual Con Mystery" where somehow one of the participants gets to "take out" unsuspecting con goers and will continue to do so until the attendees figure out who it is...Though I realize this probably makes no sense, but was something mentioned in a round table G+ talk I was in from other virtual cons. Whoah...started sailing off into the sunset...I'll continue these musings on my own damn meandering thread. Good luck EU gamers! I really hope we can get some scandinavian attendees, and if we can get Nick the Greek from our L5R game out of his military responsibilities for a day or two...and then there's Daniel from Serbia. Oh yeah bring it on people with accents!

If that was the Firefly game (I played Jayne in it) then I'm European as well (UK based). I stand corrected! Forgive me.

I would have said the 8pm GMT is better as its 1pm PMT. Does PMT have daylight saving? If so it would be 2pm LA time at 8pm Manchester time. Aaron

Pacific Standard Time is UTC-8; during daylight savings time it is UTC-7. Daylight savings ends on Nov. 3, so I think all the times are off by 1 hour.
This kept confusing me because I'm EST, and we are UTC-5, but i knew PST was 3 hours behind me, and the math wasn't adding up.
So past Nov. 3, 8pm in Manchester is 12pm in LA.
I'm fairly sure this is right.

Yes that's right. Right now we are in daylight savings time in the UK so it's 8pm here and 12pm in LA. Now we 'fall back' 1 hour after Nov. 3rd so in Manchester it's now 7pm. If LA time also stops daylight saving time it will be 11am. IF a country on the same longitude in the southern hemisphere then commences daylight saving they will 12md at Manchester time 7pm Aarpn

Going for the 12 noon Time slot for the Edge of the empire game. I think maybe I am being a bit adventurous in wanting to run like 5 games. Let's just secure one to start with and go from there.

Having only gamed with you once DD in whodos Demon Hunters game I can only recall you being...how shall we say "delightfully ebullient"...and your notion of a five game onslaught isn't out of character!

Some coffee-grenades should see him through. He doesn't need to throw them this time.
