Here's a suggestion for you:
With all the multi-national players accessing this site, and all the headaches created by trying to get multiiple players from around the world together at the same time, how about a simple box on the homepage that lists the key time zones and what their offset is from UTC.
For example:
PST - Pacific Time - UTC -8
EST - Eastern Time - UTC -5
GMT - UK Time - UTC +0
CET - Central Europe - UTC +1
Obviously a bit neater and prettier would be good, but I think you get the general idea. Then at least, when people say they are in PST, we can all work out very quickly their time in relation to ourselves. There's nothing worse than arranging a time, only to find you or somebody else has got confused with the time zones.
It may also be good to include details of Daylight Saving times and when they change.
