"Note that for the purpose of this event, each day begins at 12:00AM GMT and ends at 11:59PM GMT (that means it starts at 8:00PM on Thursday, September 13, for those on the US East Coast)."Email I got said 12:00 GMT today, that's about an hour ago by my reckoning as it's nearly 13:00 BST here, which is about 2 hours after the maintenance notice said they would shut down the server at 10:00 GMT, or UCT (isn't that milk?), whatever they're calling it these days.
So it all makes sense, if not good timing, unless it's all just wrong, in which case I have no idea what's going on.
Still want a demonic chicken though.
