    Edit: RUR Metawater contest meeting collides with this, so if necessary, green cloaks could take place 8th of July, too.

    I thought of something when got to this:
    "Dabblez: I figure, given that we don't have GMs, we all have to GM a little"

    I know, from talking to a *few* RPers, that they got sick and tired of getting involved with RP story lines that involved cross faction Orgs (I.E. Omni vs. Clan) because at some point someone, be it an old skooler or Newbie, started power playing and metagaming the other side just to 'win'.

    This got to be such a problem that now it seems that every single action must be cleared with every single player before it's done

    -Over dramatization- "/tell Tussa (( is it ok if I have Kotts take a drink from your beer?))" "/tell Xeenah (( Tussa said it was ok for me to drink her beer, is it ok with you?))"

    While I don't mind clearing shots, but it's gotten way out of hand. It causes short little run-ins and conversations, that should only last a few minutes, to last upwards of an hour or more.

    Even more discouraging is when leaders of Orgs, or their officers are given a spoiler days before something happens, just to make sure it's "ok". The mystery is gone, and with number dwindling in a lot of RP Orgs, almost everyone knows what going to happen before it does, just because it was cleared with them first. now that I've gotten off course let me come back to the quote above. What if we use other RPers, not involved in said choosen storyline, to play the GMs for the other conflicting Orgs?

    Example being The NLF and Pols clash, like two cats in a gym bag... again, They could use a non involved un-biased player (Say Dabblez, Bearel, Keanne, ect ) to ref the distribution of information, and so forth. This way no one will have to worry about getting screwed if they take part in a player event (Haw haw! My Org iz bettar RPs than urs!) and nothing gets spoiled for those that wish to get involved. It'll also keep that teeny tiny flame of hope burning, that yes, people still RP.

    Exciting idea Kotts. Let me just say about the confrontrations from our (omni-pol) perspective that any kind of direct confrontration with the police force is hard to do and is often not very fruitful. Reason is that the very thing we are supposed to do is to take the other party out. The police ultimately has only that option in a direct confrontration, the dead-end, more dead the better.

    In other words, we are very aware of this impenetrable wall, if we RP'd cops in a straightforward fashion, we would hit our heads into it all the time. We need to walk parallel to it, and preferable a fair distance from the wall. OOC we do not want to arrest anyone, but IC we would love nothing more. And these are thoughts about confrontration. However, there is more to policework than walking people to jail.

    I know Virta. It's rough to follow through when then only time an arrest sticks is when the other party is deleting a toon, or has quit playing. But ya'll stick too it any ways /salute.

    Kinda makes me wish PVP wasn't so loot and level dependent. I'd love to see the Pols in riot gear clearing a street of unlawful clanners and/or Nuets.

    sad truth of it is, though, about 50% of the people on ether side can't even attack their enemy. and the ones that do, well they still may not even be able to hit their enemy. Nothing like one advy clearing out an entire team. With those mechanics it doesn't really leave much room in any story lines for pvp. Which sticks.

    GMT is london time -2 hours, so just go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and check where you live

    Short Answer:

    In game press F9. The time displayed is always GMT.

    Long Answer:

    The difference between GMT and EST is always 5 hours. What makes it complicated is daylight savings.

    London is only on GMT time part of the year. Right now we are on British Summer Time, (BST) which is GMT +1. New York, I believe is currently on EDT which is EST+1. So while the relative time difference between London and New York is the same (mostly), the time difference between local time and GMT will vary depending on the time of year. That is unless you live in one of those enlightened places where there is no daylight savings time like Iceland, Arizona and Indiana, I think.

    Don't you wish you'd stuck to the short answer now?
