I think you only made matters worse.

That just looks like a big cluster *****. And what the hell is up with that timezone in australia that isn't on the hour, lol. And holy *****, china has to have its own special timezone, even though russia is divided accordningly. And whoever drew that international dateline was high as *****.

I guess if the timezone map was portrayed on a globe it would all make more sense.

Didn't we do this already? :lol:

Better questions about that map? what are those little clusters of yellow time zone in Russia? Why does Greenland have 2 little sections of Time zones on either coast? Arizona isn't the only non standard state, Indiana also has some pretty wacky times.

For those of us in the US, they gave us 12 pm (noon) Pacific. That means 1 pm Mountain, 2 pm Central, and 3 pm Eastern.

This is a much more useful time map of the world:

That's the worst timezone map I have ever seen. The Northern Territory and South Australia share the exact same method of tracking time as everywhere in Australia except Queensland, which is the only state or territory not to practice daylight saving, and Western Australia, which is just all ***** weird and plays by it's own rules.

Additionally we are GMT +10 (except W.A.) not -10, unless that map doesn't use GMT, in which case it's useless.

And we dont all live in the US

Yea, +1 for GMT. The world isn't the US and we have a perfectly functional system for telling time around the globe, instead of just in our own country. This is a game with a lot, perhaps even a majority, of international players. Giving a GMT +0 time for events like this would allow everyone to quickly asses the time in their own region, and additionally Americans might learn that the world is bigger than their own country.

P.S. Start using metric already.

P.P.S. And stop using your own weird electrical grid standards.

P.P.P.S. Also start using the international telecommunications standards as well.

Of course, the livestream happens on twitch, not on facebook.
