The weekend of March 30 - April 1
Hotspots Day 1 - 2300 GMT (Saturday night GMT) Day 2 - 2300 GMT (Saturday night GMT) Day 3 - 1800 GMT (Sunday evening GMT)
Mags and I will be getting on at 2300GMT (still Friday for everyone west of England), and the reunion will last the entire weekend. We intend to play as much as we can throughout those 3 days, but we have hotspots to help organize those who can only make it on once or twice. Theoretically there should be more players on during the hotspots.
Timezones (DST = Daylight Saving Time, use this one) PST = -8 GMT (-7 GMT DST) CST = -6 GMT (-5 GMT DST) EST = -5 GMT (-4 GMT DST) Berlin = +1 GMT (+2 GMT DST) Sydney = +10 GMT
US begins Daylight Saving Time the second week of March so that adds an hour to your time conversion, same goes for European players. I believe Australia gets off DST that very Friday so I only included the Standard Time for Sydney.
US West Coast (PST, DST): Day 1 - Friday, 4:00pm PST Day 2 - Saturday, 4:00pm PST Day 3 - Sunday, 11:00am PST
US East Coast (EST, DST): Day 1 - Friday, 7:00pm EST Day 2 - Saturday, 7:00pm EST Day 3 - Sunday, 2:00pm EST
Germany (Berlin, DST): Day 1 - Saturday, 1:00am Day 2 - Sunday, 1:00am Day 3 - Sunday, 8:00pm
Australia (Sydney, no DST) Day 1 - Saturday, 9:00am Day 2 - Sunday, 9:00am Day 3 - Monday, 4:00am
Personally I plan on being on Saturday morning (in the US) as well as during the hotspot, but I'll be a couple hours late to the Sunday hotspot.

THE REUNION WEEKEND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIPS:
DO NOT WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE HOTSPOTS! - The Reunion will start on friday evening GMT, and there will be games for the next 72 hours! They are meant mainly for people, who only have a little time during that weekend and are a compromise of many timezones
Check your own Timezone from Windows Calendar: - Double click the time on the lower right - choose the middle-leaf - TA DAA!!
Daylight saving time: "Beginning in 2007, most of the United States (and canada) begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March" "In the European Union, Summer Time begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October.
Anyway since sunday at our meeting is april the first both EU AND USA are observing the daylight saving time by the time of our reunion! thus the time differences are as stated above. If your country is observing DST by the time, you need to add 1 hour to your normal GMT value (for example Berlin moves from GMT+1 to GMT+2. However GMT is still GMT and if you dont have DST you just compare the standadr times eit the GMT
If you have problems, post a question in the forums and well help!

Greetings and Salutations all. Cata is still the best RTS out there- operatic in its glory. Sadly I will be overseas at time of reunion. But I will raise my Pina Colada high in tribute of you all that day.
Hugs all round,
Maccy.

I wanna be there! I wanna be there! I wanna be there! ;D Gosh! So many years lost, so many unplayed battles... But I wanna play with all of you, at least once, so I can share my great obsession for Cata with people who don't watch me with a face of "What is this guy talking about?"
