EVERYONE gets times wrong in this game
i suggest a new BBCode [time][/time]
i can then put in my time i.e. [time]00:01:37[/time]
and people in different time zones with daylight saving on or off will see the correct time
people won't have to do time arithmetic to get their support/attack to land at the right time
grepolis will have to do a bit of calculating in the background to work out UTC 0 from the time zone of the poster and display the time in the time zone of the viewer but they have to do that now for most of the times in the game
it could be extended to have a zone in it i.e. [time=UTC+1]01:01:37[/time] to indicate another zone (server time in this case) and other people will see it in their own local time
another extension would be to have times clickable and the BBCode is displayed in a text box like is done for the [island][/island] BBCode in the island info box so that the [time=UTC]00:01:37[/time] can be copied and pasted into another post
if you are awarding gold for suggestions i think this one should be worth at least 1000 gold
as well as the above the settings section should have 2 check boxes on the time zone section of the general tab
[v] Automatically adjust times for daylight saving
[v] Display times in the 24 hour clock
