Online countdown timer until next game start

Obviously this thread is deletable by staff one the event goes by :)

Timer here:
Countdown Timer

Changed my site because of time zone issues. Not as pretty, but it works.

  • Fokian, where did you get the idea that it would open at 12 noon?

    In the past "Thursday afternoon" has been as late as 6 or 7 pm.  I didn't see anything in the tweets or on the blog that said 'noon'

  • From their tweet: "You can save your refresh finger for at least the next 18 hours: next test opens tomorrow " - sent 16 hours ago.

  • Yeah, I took that "at least" as the way they got around saying "the game will start at X".

  • I can always change it :) Only working with limited data given. :p

  • @Fokian

    Take a look at the well-informed (probably) guess of Cupcake.

  • FB announcement said they'd open at 12PST, but alas, it is still closed!

    "OK, you can ease off the constant refreshing for at least the next 18 hours: we'll open the next test session tomorrow: Thursday afternoon, Pacific time."

  • FB announcement said it would be "at least" 18 hours. 

    That means it could be more.  Which it has proven to be

  • I'm setting it  back up for 2pm US PT

    Edit: Oh. Yeah. It's already after that time. O_o
    Hmm.

  • Ok. I updated it to 5:00 PM US PT. That would still be in the afternoon there. (Barely).

  • Tee hee, Cupcake, love ya!

  • It's only 12:30 PDT how do I know this cause I live here and that's the time on my computer.

  • Doh! I'm on US CT. I forgot to convert.
    Posted 18 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • xoxJulie, that's what I was thinking, too. Maybe we live in an alternate PDT
    Posted 18 months ago by Essie Kitten Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ok. I've fixed it (again!) :p I've set it for 2:00 PM US PT.
    Posted 18 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • heh, Folkian, I hate to tell you this after all your updating, but, um, I don't think it'll work. 

    It's telling me that's in 16 minutes. Which is 1pm PST. I didn't look at it, but I bet it's just counting down from the time of whatever computer is looking at it - not from a server. So the only time zone it'll work in is yours :)

  • Except that 2pm is actually only 1 hour and 16 minutes away. Not that I'm counting or anything, but that's what time my shift at work starts :D

  • @imbri - (Piers Anthony fan?) It's showing over an hour on my end. hey, it's a free site. :) Give me a few minutes and I can host the timer myself. I just liked the ready availability of it. Anyone else in another time zone seeing something different. As I type this the countdown is less than an hour and 10 minutes for my location.

  • Francine and I are extremely excited to get back in again.  :-)  See you all there... soon... whenever that is!

  • @Folkian... I was back in the day. And the books were sitting on my bookshelf when I had like 30 seconds to come up with a throwaway nick so I could hop into an IRC channel unnoticed for a few minutes. That was 10 years ago. Oops. At least I like it and it tends to be available or I just get on things before all the other imbris out there ;)

  • @imbri - I still am a fan. of the Xanth series. (among others). :D
    Posted 18 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Maybe it will open in 10 mins?

    Probably.

    I hope it does. I'm just dying to play glitch! :D
    Posted 18 months ago by fet osunaa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well, That countdown has just expired and still no Glitch. :( Maybe I was better off with 5:00 PM US PT.

    Edit: Changing the countdown to reflect that time instead.

  • playglitch Glitch, the game OK! You can save your refresh finger for at least the next 18 hours: next test opens tomorrow (Thursday afternoon, Pacific time).
    Posted (according to Twitter) 19 hours ago. :)

  • Please read carefully...'for at least 18 hours.' They were saying 18 hours is the least amount of time in which it would open.
