If you are using Windows, you can right click on your desktop clock and create a new clock showing UTC. You probably already know this, but it. is. a. post!

I see the K-1 II line is blue. I don't know if we'll be able to fill the gauge in three days without causing a server explosion though. :P

Mark Ransom · 08-29-2018, 01:46 PM

For those in the US I've converted those UTC times for each time zone.

Eastern: 01:00, 09:00, 18:00 (6PM).

Central: 00:00 (midnight), 08:00, 17:00 (5PM).

Mountain: 21:00 (11PM 9/1), 07:00, 16:00 (4PM).

Pacific: 22:00 (10PM 9/1), 06:00, 15:00 (3PM).

Let's explode the server then. I'm not paying for it.

Can't hurt to try...

Adam has said his server is up to it - that's great - but someone else will have to do it. My spreadsheet is reporting 1732 posts by me in August {before this one}, and I'm not sure I have much more in me.

Re-reading Adam's announcement, I noticed this line

"The cutoff for this post count will be 11:59:59pm UTC-8 on August 31st, 2018"

I believe that means that all counts will be taken 8 hours later than I had been expecting, at 8am Sept 1 UTC, at 4am Sept 1 EDT

So midnight Pacific time? I guess that makes sense.

The extra 8 hours might make all the difference.

Actually, I think it's more like Anchorage or Honolulu time.

A K-1 would certainly mean some decisions to be made. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket as well

The problem is, I've noticed that posting tends to really lag between 10 pm EDT and 8 am EDT {7 pm PDT and 5 am PDT}, but he is giving us every chance.

OMG! Do you mean that people actually SLEEP instead of posting?! Ugh! I just don't believe it!

I’m afraid it’s true. What’s more, some people are even known to go outside: some of them even take photos!

The times we're talking about are when the Western Hemisphere is asleep, but people are in the middle of their days in Asia or just getting going in Europe.
