Therefore Group 4 will sign in at Wed, 28 April - 10:40pmEST ... which is 8:40 MST

Forget about GMT for a moment ... this is the time posted at GN site

Right so based on my calculations if everyone on daylight savings time logs in at 8:40 they will be an hour out with everythat isnt on daylight savings time.....alberta and ontario will be alone.

Just like military zulu time gmt is a standard and you subtract your time zones to come up with a launch time....this standardizes everyone around the world currently our time is GMT-6 not GMT-7.

If we are all in daylight savings time we will all log in together if we are not all in daylight savings time we wont.........8:40 and 10:40 are the correct launch times MST but your clock on the wall is an hour ahead of MST 9:40 and 11:40.

I think your right....I posted a quick message in group 4 which you saw........but everybody thinks Im a time zone quack.....but seriously I believe if we go at 8:40 we will not be in sync with people that are out of the daylight savings zone.

So, like I said Ill log in an hour early to the nemo chat just in case.......
