I have won one game since the new management took over, and it is a good feeling, but being in my time zone puts me at a disadvantage in most games.

Talk to the Eagle and see if this thread could be done on a rotating author basis. I wouldn't mind helping out, but then again, him and I are in the same timezone.

From my friend, Wikipedia:

Standard time was introduced into Australia in the 1890s when all colonies adopted standard times. Before the switch to standard times, each local municipality was free to determine its own local time, called local mean time. Australia has three standard time zones from GMT: eastern (UTC+10), central (UTC+9:30) and western (UTC+8).[1] There are also some areas using an unofficial "central western" zone (UTC+8:45). Most Australian external territories also observe different time zones.

The proper names of Australia's time zones vary. In international contexts they are often called Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) and Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), and Australian Central Western Standard Time (ACWST). In domestic contexts the leading "Australian" is often dropped in speech though the abbreviations remain.

New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Victoria (Vic), Tasmania and South Australia observe daylight saving time every year. Western Australia also observes daylight saving time on a trial basis. Queensland and Northern Territory do not have daylight saving.



So, that would make him, what, 15 hours ahead of Stealth Eagle??
