FutureTXTurkey Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I was just curious if anyone on here had set their clocks to NST, and if they had what did they think about the benefits. I have several clocks in my room, so I don't really need my computer clock to tell me what time it is, and I've been playing around for a while with the idea of having my computer clock set to NST, so I wouldn't make silly mistakes like the one I made with the Halloween theme, basic math gets me every time. I just didn't know if there was enough benefit to it, or if NST even ran on a consistent enough time that it would work... Quote
imnotgeorge Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I'm lucky - I live on PST which is the same as NST :P Quote
Xepha Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I'm good with timezones (most of the time, no pun intented), so I haven't done that at all. For me Snowager is a 9am-5pm-1am thing. I just know it... Quote
Bob_the_Bunny Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I'm horrible with timezones. XP If I didn't live in PST which is equal to NST, I wouldn't bother with it. Quote
YumYum_00 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 My time is exactly 3 hours ahead of NST time, so I usually don't miss out a lot. Exceptions are Halloween theme bar and Deadly Dice, which occur at 12pm NST, which is 3AM my time, of which I'm probably be sleeping. Quote
Stephé Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I'm tend to zone out most of the day XD Usually I'll check TDN's coverage to see if there's anything important the next day. If not, I'll just come on any time :P But no, I'm not that dedicated to timezones to change one of my clocks. :P Quote
tempdisplay Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 OMG! although my time is 8 ahead the time changes alot. I just realised in the post i was going to say after omg i'll do that right away on my second pc clock but i've done that already. Silly me Quote
*SG* Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I watch TDN religiously so it will tell you when the Snowager is asleep so I don't worry about missing it. Also if there's a timed event I just leave my NP page open and watch their clock since some things are relative to seconds as well. Quote
mxpxrocks222 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 well i am ar NST anyways so i am set to it.... but if i wasnt i wouldnt set it since that would just confuse me. Quote
The Darkest Faerie Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'm too good for timezones. Ok, I'm too good AT timezones. Well, only with PST/NST and GMT. The latter is where I am. My Snowager times: 2PM and 10PM. I'm not awake at 6AM GMT/10PM NST. I go to bed at 3PM, and wake up as early as 11:00PM to midnight NST. Just 8 hours ahead of NST is how I count it. :P Quote
Unstream Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I just remember times in my timezone. Like the Snowager is awake at 9 AM and 5 PM, and the other time in inconvenient. And like Deadly Dice is at 3 AM, which is really no good. Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 :D haha i pwn you cuz my time is exactly 13 years away :ohno: (that is no luck) so dice a roo is 1 pm in my time :king: again i PWN you. Quote

So you're saying that TNT hasn't made Neopets yet for you for some weird reason? Bummer :P Quote
Cara Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 My life in the real world doesn’t really allow me to change my time to NST. I use the time on my laptop as I don’t have a clock in my room and I need to make sure important things like assignments are done on time and I leave with enough time to get to uni etc. Somehow I don't think "but I might miss the snowger!" will work as a plausible excuse :P Quote
EarthMaiden Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I watch TDN religiously so it will tell you when the Snowager is asleep so I don't worry about missing it. Also if there's a timed event I just leave my NP page open and watch their clock since some things are relative to seconds as well. I do the same - TDN is pretty great about letting us know when the Snowager is asleep; It has actually made me kinda lazy... Quote
IrishLiz Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 My time is usually the same as NST, except we don't do Daylight Savings in AZ. That's the only time I get thrown off... like right now, NST is an hour later than where I live. It will only through me off when it changes again. ^_^ Quote
ChaoticFission Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 my advice would be to do the time conversions for all of the events and just set up alarms for yourself in your own timezone. that's the best way to keep track of these things. Quote
FutureTXTurkey Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks For All The Great Feedback. It's given me a lot to think about... I don't suppose I will change it, because like SympliG0thic pointed out, any time there is a time related even TDN points it out, and I am always on here, so I guess if it was really important you guys would let me know, LOL.
