    Just a small update, the times for gmt server vote resets on the website are currently incorrect. They state server 3 resets at 11pm, and server 1 resets at 12pm.

    Due to the daylight savings in the UK, gmt is currently +1.

    So this shows as incorrect information.

    The 5am vote seems to be accurate still though.


    it would be nice to simply add +1 during daylight saving times, or to update so the 11pm and 12am are accurate. (Server 3 is currently 12am GMT, and server 1 is currently 1am GMT. Screenshot_20230806-004153_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20230806-004203_Chrome.jpg

    Not everywhere in the world believes in daylight savings time but your country does. Only 36% of the world believe in this. Meaning 64% of the world would say these times are right. Not worth changing imo

    If the time is wrong, it’s wrong for 100% of everyone everywhere.

    According to this page on wikipedia two countries follow GMT, and according to this attachment on wikipedia all one of those skyblock players are from, follow daylight savings too.

    GMT doesn't jump around when daylight savings starts/ends. In daylight savings times you'd most likely be observing DST instead of GMT. This means the only inaccurate website is actually vote2, which should display 4am GMT.

    I'm assuming that EST is acurate for the countries that don't go by daylight saving time, whilst the time of gmt compared to est, just adding +1 to the end of GMT would then make it accurate instead of it saying its a particular time and it actually being an hour later for the countries that do follow gmt.

    It's not something that EST countries would particularly need to worry about, though it would be nice if it was correct for the UK.
