Da_Sarge · October 2002

Where exactly did you hear this?

Toji · October 2002

Yea need some back up info to back up those words and is the time based on UK time?

Res1 · October 2002

The times he mentioned is for EST. 12-6 pm EST time. It's been mentioned a lot on IRC about the file sizes.

Unknown · October 2002

Flayra lives in EST time so I am guessing that those are EST times. So I think it will be about 8pm for UK people.....

Dog_of_War · October 2002

Rico1 · October 2002

BTS_Squirrel · October 2002

Khaim · October 2002

lol, you can look at it that way squirel, but in essence no matter what time the clock says, it is the same 'time' or instant around the globe, so it depends on what way you look at it.
Anyway, hope flay releases it after 3<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>0 PM so I can get it when I get home and not have to agonize about it at school tomarow.

But khaim, squirell and I will wake up closer to release time than you will <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> you'll have to wait all day and we'll have been up for just a couple hours (hopefully anyway)... the point is we have to wait less during the day than you do. So hah!

Unknown · October 2002

You'll still have to wait for school to be over so MUHAHAHAHAHAHA <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Sorry, I could not contain myself. I am personally hoping it comes out between 12pm and 2:45pm. I get home from school at 2:30pm and it takes me 15 min to start this junky computer up all the way to 100%.

While we wait for NS, we all should be defraging our HDs so we can run at the best we can. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Skipping school is bad.

"School is kewl!"

Aldaris · October 2002

Don't know where you learned geography, but if I remember correctly EST is 5 hours behind GMT, so 12pm there is 5pm here, and 6pm there is 11pm here.

Uhhh I don't mean to be rude, but where did you learn timezones?

EST = Eastern Standard Time.
GMT = Grand Mountain Time. (Right?)

The sun rises in the EAST and sets in the WEST. So I believe you are remembering your timezones backwards. EST is 5 hours (I guess, I don't know the order of timezones but I know that EST is the first timezone in the USA) ahead of GMT.

So when its 12pm here, its 7am there....

bounty_hunter · October 2002

def 1 havent seen u much on these forums. Gj on the vid <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>, hope u update ure page and make fantastic more vids.

gollus · October 2002

your confused unknown because there are actually 2 GMTs
one, and the one that he is talking about (and the "correct" one as it was first) is Grenech mean time (sp?) or the time it is in Great Britian. Since our mother country decided that it was the best, they chose how things are run, so the longitude lines start there, and so do the time zones.
Us Americans decided that we would call one of your time zones "general mountain time" but this would be incorrect.
I think this is right, but I am too lazy right now to check all my facts, so if I am wrong in any form please feel free to correct me.

Mr_Radical_Ed · October 2002

in any case. Once we know the release details go to <a href="http://worldtimeserver.com/" target="_blank">World Time Server</a> and figure your time to download NS <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I used to use this site all the time when RO was still alive

D_6969 · October 2002

Yeah, why are you all stressing about precise times? It'll be out eventually. I don't care, I get out of school and home at 3. And maybe it'll be out then maybe it won't. If it's not, I'll take a nap and check again and it might be there.

Khaim · October 2002
