Scheduling For Dummies
Scheduling For Dummies
Please schedule by giving a specific time-window, of any length you wish, during which you are available to play. Please avoid just asking your opponent when it can play, without giving a time-window, as well as using generic time slots such as "anytime" or "Saturday".
Finally, if your series is subject to betting, please consider playing during the weekend, and avoid playing during the first few days of a round, if suitable.
Thank you!

Curious, why avoid using "anytime" as a time window, it's basically saying, "whatever time you pick I'll play it", what's wrong with that?
Re: Scheduling For Dummies
If it's literal, then that's fine (it's the same as giving a time-window, after all). The only problem could be that neither player decides on an actual time. Lets just say I've experience with it happening.

It's like when you ask your significant other where they wants to get dinner, and they say "I don't care". Even if they don't, it is totally unhelpful for the decision process.
My suggestion if you really are available any time would be something like this:
Hey, I'm available pretty much any time. My time zone is EST (-5 GMT).
A couple of really good times for me would be Tuesday at 17:00 GMT and Thursday at 19:00 GMT. Let me know if one of these work for you, or feel free to suggest another time slot.
That way scheduling can be accomplished in a minimum of 1 post from each person if one of your time slots works for them. Otherwise, with "anytime", the other player will have to suggest a time and get confirmation from you that you're *actually* available at that time.

Re: Scheduling For Dummies
Moved the thread since this is indeed relevant again (and funny). Made a shadow thread in the old board that links to this thread.

Re: Scheduling For Dummies
This might be helpful too, for players new to the forums. Go to my-esoc.php (by clicking on your username in the top-right and clicking "MyESOC") and you can see your local time and the current time at GMT+0. If your local time is 2 hours later, you are GMT+2. If your local time is 6 hours earlier, you are GMT-6.
Is your local time not correct? In that case, you probably selected the wrong country. Change your locating by selecting a different flag at the bottom of this page: ucp.php?i=ucp_profile&mode=profile_info. Your local time is based on the country flag you choose, not on what you write in the "Location" field.
Now that I think about it, how cool would it be if you could see the local time of your opponent, right there in the scheduling thread. Would only work if everyone selected the right country though.
EDIT: seems like the local time is based on your browser.

This is incorrect, the displayed time is not affected by selected flag, and can not even be as you propose it, since some countries span multiple timezones. It is not possible to implement unless everyone would manually input their exact timezone and we would handle such a field in the profile.
The displayed local time is based on what's reported as local time by the user's web browser.

Re: Scheduling For Dummies
I stand corrected. Don't know where I got the flag thing from.
