Alright guys, the table has been fixed.
Fixed? What was wrong with it?
Well, when I made this table, I made two fundamental mistakes.
- Not understanding how Daylight Saving Time actually works.
- Forgetting that the Earth has two hemispheres and that it won't be summer in both at the same time.
So, long story short, the table was correct only for people who actually live in the Northern Hemisphere and in a country that has DST, so that would mean an incorrect time for everyone who lives in... well, anywhere that isn't North America or Europe (excluding Russia and some other countries).
So what, I have to wait EVEN LONGER for 1.3 now?
Well, that's actually the funny thing: no. Everyone who lives in a country with the aforementioned condition will still get it on the initial time indicated, but everyone else will actually get an hour earlier!
That's right, less waiting! Well, still as much as everyone else, but it's the morale boost that counts.
Of course that doesn't mean that that's an excuse for me messing up, so I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone who I gave a false release time, and the terrible agony of the wait that came with it. The current table should be completely correct, unless I accidentally put a Southern Hemisphere country in the Northern Hemisphere (geography is not my strong suit). If you are in doubt, feel free to ask!
You forgot Central Time, which is noon.
The 4 big time zones are Central, Pacific, Eastern (What Re-Logic uses), and Western. We should maybe move this to your thread, since this is off topic.
Alright then.
I do believe I have all four of them, though, perhaps not with all the states in the examples (that would be fifty states, a bit much).
Pacfic (UCT-07:00) =
United States (
Arizona) (no DST),
United States (
California, most of
Nevada, most of
Oregon,
Washington (state))
Mountain (UCT-06:00) =
United States (
Colorado)
Central (UCT-05:00) =
United States (
Illinois, most of
Texas)
Eastern (UCT-04:00) =
United States (most of
Florida,
Georgia,
Massachusetts, most of
Michigan, most of
Indiana,
New York,
North Carolina,
Ohio,
Washington, D.C.)
Those are all one UCT higher because of DST.
