**_________Autumnblaze** · Apr 21st, 2003, 23:13:12

Come One, Come All to this year's Stret Spring Fair - Hosted by Circle G "Where Safety is Our Business".

A time when the planet can come together to celebrate the arrival of spring.

To sell those items that have been collecting dust in your bank.

To craft and provide services to the citizens of Rubi-Ka.

To enjoy the many talents of poets, singers and storytellers.

To have your face “destroyed”

Ahh, very well done gridfeed... I look forward to this gathering.

**Nyadach** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 01:06:37

Just wondering when it is? or not yet decided?

**_________Autumnblaze** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 02:22:22

All of the information about the fair can be viewed at the link to the gridfeed in the above post. I have also applied to have it added to the events calendar.

I didn't post the date here in order to draw your attention to the gridfeed.

While enjoying your refreshments, talk to Cirlce G about your security needs. Let us know what we can do for you.

Need a personal bodyguard? Maybe escort through hostile territory? Or maybe your needs are more...specific? Talk to us and find out how we can help you.

And don’t forget, free* refreshments.

I will try and get as many of our Science division members there to offer our services.

However I cannot adhere to a contractual agreement, as myself and my officers might be called away due to a disruption.

If you would like to contact me please send me a private message on my comm link.

Bliqz rumages thru his pack and retrieves his personal data recorder.

"Note to self: Send free copy of cook book to Glarawyn."

Bliqz pauses a moment.

"Note to self: Book Mark the Uwen Rib recipe."

Speaking of Timezone demon:

Date: Saturday, May 3, 29477

Time: 12pm Pac/2pm Central/3pm Eastern/8pm GMT/19:00 UTC

Place: Stret West Bank – Inner Courtyard around Reets

GMT & UTC should be equal.

Based on the PDT/CDT/EDT times of 12p/2p/3p the GMT should be 7pm. That will make the GMT & UTC equal.

**Vixentrox** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 15:52:19

Sounds like a good deal! I'm sure some of my Whisper's Edge familiy will be glad to participate. If I am free I'll give out agent buffs.

**Sidarion** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 17:13:59

Ok...

I signed up for a stall

Due to Daylight savings time, this is not the case at this moment.

((OOC:

The daylight savings offset is GMT + 1 hours.

3PM EDT is 7PM GMT during the summer. 3PM EST is 8PM GMT in winter.

GMT/UTC never changes, its constant year round. Local times are adjusted accordingly.

EST = GMT - 5.
EDT = (GMT - 5) + (GMT + 1) = GMT - 4

So 8 PM GMT = 3PM EST & 4PM EDT. Since most of the world in on BST/DST for summer if you use the GMT time incorrectly everyone will show up an hour late.

Oh, and by the way, GMT is UTC its impossible for them to be different.

Check out the LINKS in my SIG and be informed. ))

**Tremor** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 21:26:17

Lucky you

They finally updated this weekend
Last week UTC was GMT-1
(I'm not kidding, it really was)

**_______________Viray** · Apr 22nd, 2003, 22:06:38

Stall Applied for.

Timezone conflict:

Well, when I was putting this together UTC was an hour off from GMT.

**as of this post UTC is GMT-1** Therefore, 19:00 UTC would be 20:00 GMT which would then place Eastern at 3:00pm. So, as it stands I believe all times posted on the site and flyers that will be passed out are correct.

Sid and Viray, your information has been updated. Thank you for signing up.

A "commercial" sound spot has also been added. Check it out at:

/me shakes his head.

UTC is another name for GMT! How can they be different? Please show me.

edit: I think you are confusing GMT with BST, BST = GMT + 1 which would make UTC = BST - 1. Look at the bottom of this thread by the time. Its shows that the current time is in BST which is UTC/GMT + 1

/me gives up

Note to all people attending this event: Use the UTC time.

((I agree. I want this event to kick off. I just want people to be there ON TIME.

I'm not doing this JUST to do prove I'm right.

We at Circle G looks forward to meet and greet you all under different circumstances than while defending ours or our customers mining facilities.

With the risk of meeting someone we might have battled against during our everyday life in mind, I hope you all are as professionally minded as we are - it was just business back then, nothing personal. *smiles innocently*

(In other words: Bump!

)
