Upcoming non-linear representation of time warning!
Heads up! For folks in the parts of the US and Canada which observe Daylight Saving Time, your clocks change next Sunday -- March 9th, hence you'll need to adjust your offset from BB Server (Central European) time from then until...
Heads up! For pretty much everyone, be aware that BB Server (Central European) time will be shifting for Daylight Savings Time on March 30th!
Heads up! For folks in the parts of Australia which still observe DST, your clocks adjust on 6 April... in the opposite direction of those of us who are upside down.
And if you aren't sure if you or your opponent are somewhere which does the funky time switch dance, you can refer to the time and date site. (And if you're like me, you can sit and envy all the sensible countries like Argentina, Mozambique, and South Korea which don't bother with such silliness... and boggle at the parts of Antarctica which manages to adjust times opposite itself.)
The important thing is to know that the clocks will be jumping foward and back an hour here or there, and to figure out how it's gonna impact you -- especially if you're scheduling games across timezones. Use the FUMBBL Scheduler to confirm the time you think you've agreed with your opponent... both of ya! Check the time your opponent plugs in to see if it matches what you think it should be in your timezone. (Of course, that's gonna require setting your timezone on the site. I'd suggest doing that too!)

Thank you for the bi-yearly warning.

The world should adopt UST — Universal Server Time and sync everything to FUMBBL.

I'd be happy if the world adopted Earth time, but I understand that folks disagree on when that should be.
I'd at least be less UN-happy if all the time zones made sense (I still don't understand the half-hour time zones) and the off-set from UTC didn't change in the common representation of those times.
