Has anyone noticed that the turn times are changing? My games slow 9 and slow 10 keep getting later.

Well I can't find it but I think "Disturbed" mentioned it someplace and yes I was having the problem in an "Ultra" but it just didn't dawn on me that it might be an "exploitable bug".

However, now ... when I do give it thought, even though it was a back and forth shift (i.e. gradually about 5 minutes slow and then gradually about 5 minutes fast);
if you did realise that it was happening and other players were slower to realise it, a definite first move advantage could be had until the others became acquainted with it.

I also guess that for people trying to squeeze in a move with only a few minutes to spare, it could be a real "bummer". Sorry again but it just didn't dawn on me until now how serious a "bug" it is.

No, what BA is talking about isn't a 5 minute shift. The slow 9 game has changed by an hour or 2. I just thought the server went down causing the change.

yea, both mygames changed by hours

Well there is the 5 min. fast/slow shift bug also which I do think is exploitable (i.e. again now that I realise it).

yeap...it was the server`s time....its like a world of itself with its own time...lolz
its now one hour later than it suppose to be...

Well wait a minute now ... one hour later "rings a bell". My computer auto-adjusts for daylight savings time and has been adjusted forward an hour to compensate. I think if a computer isn't auto-adjusted for daylight saving time, the time would be an hour slow now.
Is the bug daylight savings time?

PS:
On second thought I'm not in a game at present and if your computer is set to auto-adjust for daylight saving time, maybe your computer clock is showing an hour fast.

The server was down this morning for an hour...thats the reason why the times are an hour ahead...

EDIT:make that yesterday morning

lolz TR....if my pc were one hour in advanced...then my other *normal* non digital clock on the wall will also be auto-set which is impossible...unless theres ghost...haha

Same happened to me in Fast 2. The turn times got really inconvienent.

TR it had nothing to do with day light savings. The change didn't happen until a couple days later.
