SUBTERFUGE Forums

This may have been mentioned before, but I think I'd like to see my local time in the time machine. (Knowing that my attack will arrive at 3 am my time is more useful than knowing my attack will arrive at 18:34 game time)
Is it possible to have Subterfuge use the time from my iPhone to predict that?

This sounds like a good idea. Save me having to work it out for myself.

I would suggest two times--local and GMT. This makes communicating timed plans with people outside your time zone a lot easier.

One thing to remember is that things could get cluttered on the UI, though... Maybe put the local time in small print under the game time?

I think the local time (and/or GMT) should be displayed in a corner near the top of the screen much like the status bar that many OS use, of course it would also change if you used the time machine to show what the local time would be after X hours.

This. And also, this will bring confusion to the chat. There will be people who don't take timezones into account. So for the sake of chatting, "x hours from now" or an in-game timestamp is still the safest way to go.

It would have to be clearly marked "your timezone" to prevent confusion and there's little room for that. Also I'd hate it when people start mentioning things in their timezone and expect me to convert it.

you'd probably have to have a '[time] in [country/state]' and you would choose your country/state from the settings or something
