Look, Foreigners, I don't hate you guys, but
Like seriously, you all have no culture. Most of you don't even make good movies. Many of you talk funny, and don't eat enough meat. Try driving an SUV, it makes you feel powerful. And seriously, what do you do for role models? I mean you don't have ANYTHING that compares to Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. Also, why can't you afford designer clothes like a real person? USA, baby. USA.

Why does the timer NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL TIME LEFT?
I noticed in a live game yesterday that a couple of times I changed my moves and hit "save" when the clock still said 2 seconds or something like that, but I got the "game has moved on, please refresh" thingy.

What is up with that? Why not have the clock actually indicate how many seconds you have left to get in your moves. Sometimes that can make a difference in a live game.
cspieker (18223 D)
12 Apr 12 UTC
Someone told me in the game that it is like 5 seconds delayed and it used to be 15 or something like that. At least it should state somewhere on the game, what the "time" is reflecting.

Maybe it should read " TIME (you have 5 seconds less than the number of seconds presented):"

The problem is you local clock. Sync up with one of the time servers. The javascript that converts the time between server time and your time does a subtraction of hours and minutes, but not secponds, so if you are 5 seconds slow, the turn could run when you still show time left. a sync to one of the timeservers should fix that and keep the two within a fraction of a second of each other.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

It's so that the server doesn't have to deal with timezones and such. There is a Master Clock, which is accurate. If you look quickly, you can see the Master Time before the script overlays your local time. If your time is off, adjust your system clock.

Is that easy to do?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Yeah. Just change the clock on your computer.
cspieker (18223 D)
12 Apr 12 UTC
To correspond to what? Or does, just changing the clock to anything synch it to the master clock?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Apr 12 UTC
You need to sync your computer clock so that it is the same time as the master clock.

You can quickly look at the clock before the script loads, or you can just kinda guess how much your clock is off by.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Bring up the clock settings on one side of the screen (or one monitor if you are dual monitored) and then the web page on the other side.monitor.

Refresh the page looking close for the time on both the page and the clock so you can cimpute your current difference, then adjust your computers clock by that difference.

I can't tell you how to adjust your specific computers clock without knowing what OS you are on. If it is Windows 7, click in the bottom right (usually) where your time is displayed on the task bar and a windowed clock will come up with a link to change it's settings. Vista and XP are something similar. I haven't looked at 95/98 in so long and don't know Apple's OS at all.

Lot of good information here, but I thought I'd add just a bit more, mostly a rehash but stated a bit differently in case that helps at all.

The server reports to your browser what time the phase will end. The browser then runs the specified java script that compares that time with your computer's clock and reports the difference as the time left. So if your clock is not in synch, then it will be wrong.

In the clock settings you should be able to tell it to be synched up with a standard time server which should match the time for the server that webdip is running on.

Cheating
I'm butt-hurt and I want you too look at this game: gameID=85903

Germany and Russia are one and the same, because there is no reason to go relentlessly after someone, without gaining much or enough, exposing your entire back to the biggest power in the game, granting him the win.

I mean, waiting a year and a half after everyone else votes cancel because Russia failed to show to add the decisive 6th vote, only when the board starts turning against you, is kind of weak sauce.

Another Space Race--to Mars?
So, I was thinking, the one nice thing about the Cold War was that NASA got tons of money to just be awesome. People were excited about science and we developed a lot of cool technology. Why can't we have another Space Race? Surely China or India would be up for the challenge.
