Can't believe I missed it. I'm sorry. All kinds of things got in my way today - didn't mean to waste a sign-up spot.

YEs was brill GG everyone

[Solecord]

I stopped by and played a map but it was so laggy for me I could hardly move at times

[ORL]

I had a great time during the tournament, and am astonished that together we managed to pull off 5966 frags total. That's incredible.

I felt it was an honor to have my death match map played again, even as big as it is it still felt small with all the players.

Great game to all who attended, and I look forward to the next one!

there are 24 hours in a day so you can either split that into 2x12 hours like you do in the USA and call it 6 PM or just call it 12+6 = 18:00 like we do in Europe (less confusing )

UTC time does not take the Daylight Saving Time (DST) into account so to avoid confusion there:
check this!
(or say !time on the euroquake server..)

whats so difficult about their being Day and Night , and an even distribution of hours for AM/PM

[=peg=]

nothing difficult about it.. but lets say we meet at 6 (and forget to mention am/pm) then its unclear.. also noon: is that 12am or 12pm? oh and what does AM and PM even mean??
see where i'm going?
sticking to 24h system leaves no room for confusion..
(hence thats what they use in the military)

hmm that's strange. they had "ante meridiem" in 1563 but it took them over 80 years to come up with "post meridiem"? someone check the OED
