Er yeah. More sense than my suggestion. Smile

Oh! You had the zones backwards or something!
I thought you meant if my pod was sinking I would be "IN" Pacific time!
Well, it was funny to me!

Yeah, I just tried one of the Online portal Calculators, and the portal did not appear *Bwah!*

I am clad you made this though, I don't have much time but I can plan with this tool.

PS: Can you add a AM/PM version?

We need to better sync our msgs!
They're meeting each other half-way cross the pond!

I DO know this:
The AM hours are from 12:00 [midnight] to 12:00 [noon]
The PM hours then are the ones from 13:00 to 24:00, or 23:59
So anything, any time number, above 12:59, is a PM time.

Actually; When using a 24 hour clock as a source, anything above 12:00( high noon ) is a PM time.

So have you decided what time to go to the pod?

Honey! I is in the pod; I's been in the pod for an hour now!
When I press F8, my computer lets me leave the program and do other things but I can still hear the sounds: dripdripdrip creakcreakcreak whistlewhistlewhistle!
Good thang the sun's out in RL or I'd be soooo soggy by now!

Would I have about an hour's wait?

No idea. Best I can figure is it will appear around 9:05PM( 21:05 from the calculator ) your local time. Looks to me like about 4 hours.
You should be there at least 1/2 hour early.

So the Portal Calc's time, like as above 21:05, is the KI time the portal will appear?
And since the KI time is MDT and I am EDT, I would subtract 2 hours from the time, which would give me 19:05; and to translate that into my more familiar 12 hour time, I get 7:05 PM.
Or,
do I not have to adjust those 2 hours from MDT to EDT, which would give me your 9:05.

See, I'm still confused if the calculator is giving me my time or KI time and now I remember someone writing that it DOES adjust for my time, so 9:05 would be correct.
Correct?

fchall, you're so smart!
Thanks!

This will be my last quarter stone donut of my third tier, so I've learned the lesson of arriving early! Except the first time I went to Dereno, I got there two minutes before the portal arrived! So cool! more ways than one!
Ciao!

It should show up in about 3 mins.

There are a number of threads that state portal times in KI time. If you're in game just look at your KI.

[spoiler]
KI time.

Monday, April 23, 2007 3:25:25
Monday, April 23, 2007 19:08:30
etc. etc.
[/spoiler]

Its evident that this program is still a prototype. So while its a good reference, it shouldn't be your only reference.

My KI time is 15:21
and I am in game
or can click back to it.
I do, whenever I hear that portal sound!
Thanks!
You're so smart, too, Overdrive!

What's in 3 minutes? Dereno is next in about 20. Tetsonot is closer to four hours away.

Dereno from previous page - 17:46 EDT - 11 mins.
Payiferen - 18:19 EDT - 44 mins.
Tetsonot - 21:05 EDT - 3 hours 30 mins.

[Based on 17:35 EDT]

Yes that calculator you posted the picture of gives YOUR Local time.
So yes, it will appear at 9:05PM YOUR Local time Be early.

Not really "smart" I never shop IKEA :lol:

All I know is I'm staying in the pod and staying close to my computer!
I will be able to hear if the portal opens, but I can't look at the screen.
I get migraines from that kind of lighting and flashing.
But I will report at what time MY portal appeared today!
Sleep well you alien friends!

Unless you're like me and just stay up all night and keep the midnight oil aburning!

'Cept that won't work in Terrorsnot!

From previous page? I'm referring to this thread
http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewto ... 203#148203

Its got the next... (I guess it would be the next 19?18? times) in KI time.

Edit: Oh my bad. I forgot I was using 24h clock and not AM-PM. So its at 19:08:30 as stated in my previous post
