There needs to be an index of the names of all of the accounts of firaxis and 2k people so we know who to watch for posts from.
EDIT: Kate, if we reach 10,000, can we get it tonight? Please?
Used to be that they were simply 2K_[Name], so 2K_Greg, 2K_Elizabeth and so on. Those were the days...
Kate, maybe message the admins to get the 2K image put on, like Greg and the other community liasons had?

I don't understand why people always ask what time it will be in x time zone when it is such-and-such a time in y time zone. Do you not have the Internet? Are you not, in fact, on the Internet right now? Here is the Google Image search result page for "time zones world". You're welcome.

Isn't it more communal to discuss and share the knowledge of time equivalencies?
I don't enjoy running around doing calculations and accounting for DST (we don't have that). Oh the other hand, you can just do a quick search for "Time in X"

Apart from daylight saving time (with which I sympathize, because I hate it and want it abolished), it's hardly a calculation to look at a map and count how many time zones are between one city and another.
Anyway, I realize my post sounded more snide than I meant it to, and for that I apologize. Every time an event is announced, somebody will inevitably ask what time that comes to in their time zone, but to me that's like asking how many kilometers is in such-and-such a number of miles, or how many euros such-and-such a dollar amount is. In today's world, those answers are a very quick Google search away.

Personally, I advise using Wolfram Alpha for all your time zone needs! 
Just use, for example, 12AM EDT, and it will not only tell you the exact time in your time zone, it will also tell you how much time is left (or has passed since)! You can also put in a date, and it will take it into consideration as well!

Don't worry people. When I take over this planet, I will move the Prime Meridian to the middle of America and there will be only one time zone so there won't be any of this confusion anymore. And all working hours will be the same regardless of the position of the sun in the sky. You can thank me all for that. Of course, if you don't wish to conform you will be put to death. Change is good.

It is for people with Discalculia. But I do sympathise with what you're saying. It's so simple to find information, and yet people still ask the most basic of questions. But sometime's there's just that lazy disposition not to bother.
But how will you ever win a Science victory if you do that?

Since she's PDT, I expect it'll be at least three hours from now (9 AM PDT) to seven hours from now (1 PM PDT). Either way, we have a little time this morning.

I think it would be funny if they posted it at 11:59 pm. "We said we'd post it Thursday, and we did!" It would sabotage future "like" campaigns, but it would still be funny.
I insist the Americans adopt SI. Do you know how confusing it is when someone says 32 degrees is cold? That's the about the average temperature here you know! And it's hot!

0 degrees Fahrenheit is really freaking cold. 100 degrees Fahrenheit is really freaking hot.
0 degrees Celsius is fairly cold but not THAT bad if you're used to it. 100 degrees Celsius is dead.
0 degrees Kelvin is dead. 100 degrees Kelvin is dead.
I think it should be obvious which of these is the best metric for the weather.

Everyone else declares war on the US, Burma and Liberia to force them to begin metrication.
Water freezes at 0 and boils at a hundred (+273.15 degrees for Kelvin)!
Most of the world disagrees, that's why we're using it!

Like how Thailand abandoned its alphabet because no one else can read it? Oh, wait. . . .
