Its not 31's of october until a few hours your time :)

Edit: I can see why you guys get confused. Its probably because of #603 which was posted 28 october a little after midnight my time. I will make sure to post no sooner than midnight EST from now on if that helps.

#599 should be on saturday, if that makes more sense :)

Our clocks must be set differently.

Acoording to what my info says
JMC posted 601 at 11:35pm on the October 29th
I posted at 1:15am on the 30th.

Only a couple hours apart, but the date changes for us in North America before you all in Australia. At least I think that's what happened.

What does your say Carr?

Master Yoghurt

Oct 30th, 2003, 08:44:59 PM

Not sure if the info is of any help, but in Europe, we changed from Summertime/Daylight Saving time to standard time on night to sunday. Still thats only 1 hour minus. That means, Im 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.

That does not explain why the times would differ in minutes though. I thought the times were based on the server clock, with adjusted times for what you have in your control panel forum settings. Hmmm... thats strange.

Anyway, what I am trying to say, count the days. One post for every day. Am I correct its thursday night 30 of october over there?

When going to:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/front.htm
it still says 30 of october. If you say its friday 31's of october allready over there, I will be very confused.. O_o

Edit: Btw, I know your posts are only a couple of hours apart. And according to your clock, JMC's post is the day before. It does not matter if JMC posted #601 on 29 or 30 of october. The Episode 2 counter will still be off with #600 on thursday 30'th of october. Hope its clearer now :)

So the next post would be 600 for tomorrow. Of course it probably doesn't matter since we will be making some changes to this once we find out the actual date. I know we had to adjust the counter by several days last time.

409 Days To Go!

Please, double check my numbers. I don't know how we lost 33 days but I'm not complaining. Personally, I blame the idiot that started the thread. I mean, how hard could it have been to have run the dates and numbers and gotten a more accurate count? How could anyone be so obtuse? What an imbecile! Honestly, what fool could have made such a bone.... wait a minute..........
