Green Launch RE: Launches of all types And Colors

[Deleted member 5399]

When posting launches, whether QL, Blue, Green or other, It would be appreciated when someone posts one, that they put down their local time it was initiated. For example, just saying I started it at 15:30 hours on 4/23, is not specific enough as we all live in different time zones.
I myself try and specify that I am in the Central US/Canada time zone, so it is easier for a person to figure out the difference in between and adjust to the initiators local time.
It's disheartening when you go to join a launch, someone may have started yesterday @ 16:00 hours in Pacific time, and someone in Bangladesh, is already into the next days time zone.
Then you find yourself having to hope another person is doing a mission, or start your own; only starting your own, you may not have enough items, to complete a solo launch.
Just my opinion to use time zones.

Ken,

It is best to state your local time in GMT, because all phones has that info and most people are familiar with it. Everyone can calculate their time based on that (without needing to find out what Central / Pacific time is in GMT).

For example. my local time is GMT+7 all year round, so you can easily figure out the time difference with your local GMT (adjust for daylight savings if required).

Also, the date is better stated as April 23. Most people do not use the month/date format that the US does, it will be problem if you do one say in 5/6 (June 5 or 6 May??).

Update on the forum about 1 hour before you start a launch, so that people know you are about to start one in a couple of hours, without needing to know the time zone thing.

@Bali Hi thanks for clarification on date and time. I will try and remember that next time I initiate a launch.
